:::: VISUAL ART OF 2007 ::::


HERE ARE MY TOP RATED VISUAL ART SHOWS ATTENDED OF 2007
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Olafur Eliasson "Take Your Time" (SFMOMA)
Neo Rauch/Tilo Baumgärtel/David Schnell "Life After Death: New Leipzig Paintings" (Frye Art-Seattle)
Louise Bourgeois "Bourgeois in Boston" (ICA-Boston)
Felix Schramm "New Work: Misfit" (MOMA)
Tivon Rice "Resolution/Apotheosis" (Lawrimore Project-Seattle)
Bruce Nauman "Elusive Signs" (Henry Art-Seattle)
Christian Marclay/Various "Kit Bashing" (Western Bridge Gallery-Seattle)

A number of memorable shows this year. Wishing there had been travel and opportunity to catch more, in particular
some significant shows in the eastside, namely the Dada Retrospective at MOMA NY, Matta-Clark at the Whitney and
the Takashi Murakami exhibition at MOCA along with a handful of others that were missed due to geography and
economics this year. Here's hoping for seeing more art out in the cities of the world in 2008!
