Thanks for this info. You add something with every post Chris. And it's always of a high order.
I didn't know about the Los Angeles exhibition. Will you be able to attend the Monterey? It's interesting what cities were chosen, and how there are gaps in its' presentation. Something else to note: the guide to the exhibition says that a person could tour the exhibition satisfactorily in one hour. That's ridiculous. Only if you took a glance at things would it take an hour. At the two-hour mark I had made it to the Full Metal Jacket display, and I took my time in each gallery. You can easily double that, and I could've spent all day there, fan that I am. You simply can't see everything once and take it all in at one time. Like his films, repeat visits are ideal. But I live in another city and had to get home for Christmas day.
A security guard told me that he worked on the last exhibition held for David Cronenberg, and that while it was an amazing exhibition, HARDLY ANYONE WENT. He said TIFF staff told him the Cronenberg Exhibition qualifies as a failure. I didn't like hearing that.
