	cbs2chicago.com - Museum Of Contemporary Art Director To Retire
		Despite his initial distaste for the building, Fitzpatrick - whose career has included being president and CEO of EuroDisney in Paris, dean of the school of arts at Columbia University and an elected member of the Baltimore City Council - was impressed by the museum's board of trustees.
		While the new Josef Paul Kleihues-designed building near the historic Water Tower increased the museum's square footage by nearly seven times, it also boosted costs, and the museum was "financially vulnerable," said Helen Zell, chairwoman of the board of trustees.
		Fitzpatrick is a former dean of the Columbia University School of Arts in New York, and a former CEO of EuroDisney in Paris.

		Even the other fungi in the show, recognizable from their caps and stems, have papery gills too thin to be separated by stubby fingers.
		The proximity of Shine's early plant works to the real (and their distance from signs of human fabrication) brought squeals of pleasure when they first appeared, while the simple shift in context--from the natural history museum, where the artist was working, to the art gallery--provided another level of meaning, a relation to real life.
		His fungi stink of art and art school, and his copulating wasps (actually drawings of wasps), scanned, combined, layered, and colored, are minimonsters many times removed (through linear abstraction and mechanical reproduction) from their referents.
