Weather Report, Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum: A trip to the Aldrich is always a positive mood changer. Their contemporary art exhibitions always have a “next-wave” feel to them. For all you visionaries out there (and those who want to catch up on them), the Aldrich currently is showing Eva LeWitt’s site specific sculptural installation Untitled (Mesh A-J),  a colorful walk through a wonderland of Plexiglass, acetate, latex and vinyl that could be a set for a Twyla Tharp performance. Weather Report, an ecologically themed exhibition from 21 artists and researchers, explores how weather affects our mood and how our actions affect climactic events. One exhibition highlight is Storm Prototype by Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle, two scale models of an actual supercell thunderstorm that traveled over the Midwest in 2000, suspended in midair. (Shown at top of page) Both exhibits will be on view through August 23.

The Aldrich is open Wednesday through Monday 12-pm to 5pm, 10am to 5pm on Saturdays. We show it on our calendar weekends only!
