I just headed down to [this](http://www.mcachicago.org/) exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art - it’s in Chicago until 9/23 and then going to D.C. and LA.

I loved it - the “Death Ships” hit me very hard for some reason - tiny wooden warships wrapped in dollar bills. I’d never heard of him before. Is anyone else a fan of his work?

I encourage Chicago people to get down and see it before it leaves. I think I’m going Friday after work for a little while.
