What's Up at the Menil?

where's the grass?




what's wit the boards?


zig zags?



It's just not the same without that well manicured lawn... the Menil Collection tore up their front porch to install two new Michael Heizer ditches. Boards on the ground show where they'll dig, slated to open in May.

Not that I'm obsessed with the place (I might be) but the Menil has finally rotated out a large collection of African sculpture for the first time in a decade to dig up never before seen pieces from the depths of their vaults. They won't be out til May either.
