The eponymous show has been in Germany and Spain and just hit stateside late last month. I mean, how can I be in the book and not see the show? The exhibition will be at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.miamiartmuseum.org\/exhibitions-07-10-21-cardiff.asp\" target=\"_blank\">Miami Art Museum<\/a> until January 20, 2008, but as it was clearly scheduled to coincide with the huge art fair, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artbaselmiamibeach.com\/go\/id\/ss\/\" target=\"_blank\">Art Basel Miami <\/a>&#8211; which runs December 6-9, it seems a shame to go to Miami any other time.<\/p>\n<p>Luck was on my side: I recently got in touch with an artist friend from Art Center (she has Dawson Weber&#8217;s show &#8220;Bridge Group&#8221; showing in her living room\/gallery, <a href=\"http:\/\/apartment2.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Apartment 2<\/a>, at the moment), and it turned out Kathryn was already planning to be in Miami, and what&#8217;s more she offered to let me crash in her hotel room.<\/p>\n<p>So, I got tickets last night &#8211; and I was thrilled to see that roundtrip tix from LAX to MIA were still under $300. It&#8217;s rare these days that I fly to the other coast under $300, so I wonder, is it because so few people fly from one sunny clime to another? Or because both places have a DisneyLand\/World?<\/p>\n<p>I leave Tuesday! Gone for a week! I get to see the catalog I&#8217;m in, stacked in piles at the museum store!<\/p>\n<p>and I finally get to check out the one Cardiff piece\u00c2\u00a0 that I&#8217;ve wondered about the most: the <em>Forty Part Motet<\/em>. It&#8217;s forty speakers each individually playing back a single singing part of a forty-part choral harmony.
