Good Morning,

The verdicts on LACMA’s new David Geffen Galleries are being written fast and furious after last week’s press tours, and “formless maze” is the kinder reading. The Wall Street Journal calls Peter Zumthor’s concrete-and-glass building a pancake out for a 900-foot stroll. A Eric Gibson’s WSJ review says the cavernous architecture overwhelms the art itself — a Georges de La Tour “doesn’t stand a chance.” LA Material runs the long backstory on how we got here. Twenty years, half a billion in private money, and the question isn’t whether the thing is audacious. It’s whether audacious architecture is still the answer when it competes with art.

Three AI-and-creativity pieces today, pulling opposite directions: Berklee music composition students describe the “five stages of grief” as AI enters their classrooms (WBUR). Fast Company is cheerleading AI as creativity accelerator. And Wired counters that letting AI do the writing misses the point of the exercise entirely. Pick your camp.

But you can’t replace we humans so quickly as that. At the Walker, the museum restaurant that replaced servers with QR codes is closing within 90 days of its opening (ArtNews). Turns out diners missed the humans.
