Went to see Staging Silence in DC on Thursday, at the Hirshhorn. This was the first thing we viewed, and after beholding such beautiful light, miniaturization, and delicacy it was easy to imagine the Washington Monument as a tiny plastic model on the horizon of an elaborate set.

If you haven't seen Hans Op De Beeck's work, try to make it to the Hirshhorn to see his film in the Blackbox.
