Two exhibits you should see

via e-mail from Roland

There are two exhibits in San Francisco which we should all be aware of. Both Ron and I have seen these shows and recommend them for their richness and innovation. They can serve as inspiration to us all.

San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
California College of the Arts at 100: Innovation by Design
March 23–August 26, 2007
Encompassing some of the most mesmerizing design objects from the Museum’s collection and beyond, this exhibition showcases the innovation and boundless creativity manifested by faculty and alumni of CCA on the occasion of the Bay Area college’s 100th anniversary.

M.H. De Young Museum, Golden Gate Park
Vivienne Westwood: 36 Years in Fashion
March 3–June 10, 2007
Vivienne Westwood is both iconoclast and global icon. This exhibition, which was organized by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London and which makes the de Young its only U.S. stop on an international tour, celebrates Westwood's extraordinary, nearly 40-year-long career.
