"Pattern: Follow the Rules" ends tomorrow at MCA Denver

Pattern: Follow the Rules
October 18, 2013–February 9, 2014

If you haven't seen this show at MCA Denver yet, get there before it ends tomorrow! This traveling exhibition was organized by the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University and I found it to be truly spectacular. The show presents work from some of the most recognized contemporary artists working today. Below are snapshots of my personal favorites. They are not to be missed so bundle up and make your visit happen today or tomorrow - it'd be a great way to calm those pre-game gitters. GO BRONCOS!
