Nope.  No way.  <\/p>\n<p>For me, the museum is the most wonderful mind game&#8230;a mental adventure.  And each time I go, a new thought emerges.  Epiphany!  Art is thinking.<\/p>\n<p>Now, let me back up and say&#8230;that the tagline for the Blanton is &#8220;Art is &#8230;&#8221;  Isn&#8217;t that the coolest?  How do I interpret this phrase?  I think this tagline clearly says art is what <em>you<\/em> think it is.  <\/p>\n<p>And what <em>you<\/em> think is so incredibly important to me (and the Blanton)&#8230;that somewhere in my sub-conscious, at any given moment, I&#8217;m brainstorming how to create opportunities for <strong>you<\/strong> to contribute to the Blanton experience.

I want to create a way for you (and you and you and you and&#8230;) to pair a work of art with music.  I want to know what song you would pick on your iPod as you stood in front of your favorite work of art.  What happens when you experience this song and this art together?  What treasures did you discover?  <\/p>\n<p>Mmmmm&#8230;I could go on refining this idea&#8230;but for now, the thought that woke me up is captured right here.  And the best thing for me to do now, is go back to sleep, while you mull this idea over and tell me what <strong>you<\/strong> think. <\/p>\n<p>Go on&#8230;don&#8217;t be shy.
