David Byrne @ The Akron Art Museum

Jeff Stacklin sent this out last week in CrainsCleveland.com Editor's Choice email blast:

The Akron Art Museum is pleased to present David Byrne, best known as a musician with the Talking Heads, for an art talk titled, �I ? PowerPoint.� The lecture will take place in the auditorium of the new main branch of the Akron-Summit Country Public Library. David Byrne has made visual art for more than 25 years. Trained as an artist, his latest medium is a bit unusual�PowerPoint. According to Byrne, �It started off as a joke (this software is a symbol of corporate salesmanship�or lack thereof), but then the work took on a life of its own as I realized I could create pieces that were moving, despite the limitations of the �medium�.� He will discuss his use of this unusual art form during the talk.

He must have known I'd want to attend. Thanks, Jeff! Anyone out there a member of the Akron Art Museum? I'd like to be able to get tickets the first week they become available. My contact info is there on the left, and I'd be happy to discuss terms.
