  1. My irreverent Philly Barnes photo essay. My video of next-door Rodin Museum, by architect who did the Merion Barnes. bit.ly/JfJzoe about 22 hours ago via web
  2. My hiighly critical take, "Bogus Barnes Foundation: Fake Galleries, Phony Populism," now on @HuffPostArts huff.to/JvvjOk 4:58 PM May 22nd via web
  3. Opera News will continue @MetOpera reviews after all. But can critics be as nasty as they wanna be? House organ blues. bit.ly/LzD2LK 1:31 PM May 22nd via web
  4. @UnreasonableEli I'm enjoying your book but, face it, you are NEVER humble! One flaw in your be-like-me guide: Not everyone has your smarts! 1:01 PM May 22nd via web in reply to UnreasonableEli
  5. New @MuseumDirectors prez, Kim Rorschach, plunges into major controversy over immunity from seizure for foreign loans. bit.ly/KQQdTr 11:06 AM May 22nd via web
  6. Federal court knocks down Calif. Resale Royalties Act...for now. Violates Interstate Commerce Clause. Appeal likely. bit.ly/K5Qx1N 8:21 PM May 20th via web
  7. What else is wrong w/ @the_barnes? The "improved" lighting (on a cloudy day). More critics weigh in. CultureGrrl Video. bit.ly/JpRajw 3:51 PM May 18th via web
  8. Roberta Smith gives a rave to new Barnes' interior: nyti.ms/JWskMw Disregards the exterior, which I discuss here: bit.ly/LWN71P 8:50 PM May 17th via web
  9. @lydialabat They kept the same installation of objects, changed lighting & some architectural details. Also inserted reading rooms, garden. 2:09 PM May 17th via Twitter for iPhone in reply to lydialabat
  10. @IngaSaffron Indeed. Those tents and related machinery totally marred & hindered our approach from the street. That, at least, will change. 10:41 AM May 17th via Mobile Web in reply to IngaSaffron
  11. @the_Barnes' pretense of accessibility to the masses is belied by its exterior architecture (not to mention $18 fee). bit.ly/LWN71P 9:04 AM May 17th via web
  12. @IngaSaffron Hat-tip: You expressed some similar views before me: bit.ly/IDb0Mr 8:58 AM May 17th via web in reply to IngaSaffron
  13. What's wrong with the new Philly Barnes? Let's start at the entrance: CultureGrrl Video and commentary. bit.ly/LWN71P 8:38 AM May 17th via web
  14. A lot of @the_barnes history rewritten today. The outdoor architecture dismayed me. Forbidding walls, uninviting entrance. Same great art. 4:41 PM May 16th via Twitter for iPhone
  15. Everyone tries to read Dr. Barnes' mind. Chief curator Judith Dolkart really does. Fascinating explanations of those quirky "ensembles." 4:30 PM May 16th via Twitter for iPhone
