Get Ready for ©MURAKAMI!

Posted on March 6, 2008 by Tamara Schechter

We said goodbye to Infinite Island at the end of January.

Packing up: The artwork from Infinite Island: Contemporary Caribbean Art is crated in preparation for shipping.

The show had a great run, and encouraged much enlightening discussion that will surely continue for years to come. It was a real privilege to be a part of that groundbreaking exhibition.

But, no time to dwell on nostalgia! One of the great things about working at the Brooklyn Museum is how quickly projects develop. We’re always working on something new, and this month is no exception. It’s time to make way for ©MURAKAMI!

I read on Artnet the news about the handbag boutique being installed on the fifth floor. I think this is a great idea. In fact, the Brooklyn Museum should just sell off it’s entire collection to private collectors, and turn the museum into an emporium of high-end luxury goods. This is would be the best way to serve the good, hard-working people of Brooklyn.
