Chief Curator of the Museum of Contermporary Art, Michael Darling takes host of Fear No ART, Elysabeth Alfano, on a private tour at the MCA. Michael speaks candidly and refreshingly personably about how important art is in contemporary society. While they walk the corridors of the museum and throughout the superb exhibit, "Pandora's Box: Joseph Cornell Unlocks the MCA Collection", Mr. Darling talks about the artist struggle, the importance of the museum creating a safe space to ask questions, and about the clear, concise and non-convoluted ways we can all relate to art. We also get a one-on-one discussion/explanation of some of the museums most famous pieces by Andy Warhol and Robert Rauschenberg, plus a few art collecting tips for the novice and the connoisseur alike. Enjoy this warm and accessible art lesson and one-on-one private tour.

Opens some new appreciations, but many times the words Darling spoke did not match the visuals, and seemed more like talking points. One example, Warhol's "Troy," where Darling "reads" that the image seems to be wearing out, an attribute of contemporary media. Unfortunately, the section he points to is in the middle, not at the end; so "wearing out" is a talking point being forced into the work. Happens too often these days, where words supersede the visual.
