I went to the Chelsea Art Museum a few months ago. This guys work is really cool. He was filming an interview while we were there. Also, the stairs in the museum are kreepy! They are made of some sort of sea glass, feels like you could fall right through them! Then of course there was the moving sculpture mounted on the walls............

Jean Miotte: Visual Crescendo
Insurrection, 1996, 196 x 118 in
Acrylic on canvas
Born in 1926, Jean Miotte began exhibiting in 1952 and continues to this day. As one of the important protagonists of L'Art Informel, his work is inspired by the desire of the postwar generation to create a universal human language through art, a path to peace, a way to overcome frontiers after the horrors of war. Miotte's work is greatly influenced by jazz, and especially by dance.
The Miotte Foundation, housed in the Chelsea Art Museum, preserves the oeuvre of Jean Miotte and fosters research into the Informel movement.
