Crossing Through Colors

At lunch today I strolled over to the Arts Club of Chicago with my camera to snap some pictures of Daniel Buren's installation, Crossing Through Colors. Situated in the Club's lobby and ground floor gallery space, the full-height, colored plastic panels were a bit disconcerting when I first saw them a couple weeks ago, but on this trip I moved slowly, took my time, and found the effect of colored light extremely powerful and the perfect antithesis of Vinci Hamp's dignified building design and the iconic lobby stair by Mies van der Rohe, salvaged from the Club's previous home.
