Today, January 8, 2012, the Sunday School kids went on an outing to the Contemporary Jewish Museum in downtown San Francisco. We wanted to see the Houdini: Art and Magic Show, only on display until January 16.
The first art exhibition in an American art museum on this master magician, Houdini: Art and Magic explores how Houdini’s role as an American icon was transformed across three centuries: first in the late 19th century by the artist’s own interpretation of himself; by popular culture in the 20th century; and today by contemporary artists who conjure Houdini as an audacious performer and showman of raw physicality.
The kids (and parents) had a great time and will surely return soon for another great exhibit.
