TIM BURTON EXHIBIT .....................
recently asked GERI, my 6 year old granddaughter, where she would like to be taken for our next outing. To my surprise she said “Tim Burton”.
The exhibit, which was organized by the Museum of Modern Art in New York, started November 26th at Tiff Bell Lightbox 350 King West and is already breaking attendance records. Four of us met on Thursday Dec 30th and arrived at 1.30pm not thinking there would be such a huge crowd. The next showing was 3.30pm so after a nice lunch at a local deli we joined the line and slowly got ushered in to view over 500 of Tim Burton’s personal items that span 20 years and establishes him as one of
24
the most important forces in modern film history. We jostled around the exhibits following the flow as best we could and managed to see his many drawings, models, paintings, school books. And film clips. Geri told me her favorite Tim Burton movie is Alice In Wonderland. Most of his films are enjoyed by people of all ages especially kids. I highly recommend you see this special Exhibit when there isn’t such a crowd..It’s a good place to bring your kids or grandkids……..who would have thought? normhart@bell.net
