Bison are the largest land mammals in North America, and they have the richest cultural history (just ask the elected officials pushing the National Bison Legacy Act, which would make the woolly beasts our national mammal). Bison are so big, in... More »

2012 | Best Birdbrained Scheme

People still flip out when they learn they can check out a pigeon at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver -- and we don't mean that they can just see one; we mean they can check one out like a library book, then take it home -- with the stipulation that they then let it loose. These birds, part of an ongoing project called Thinking About Flying by artist Jon Rubin, are trained homing pigeons, which makes them way more convenient than a book. We had our own fun with the project... More »
2012 | Best Show About Our Hippie History

The hippie movement of the '60s and '70s played an important part in Colorado history. Like other spots in the American West, this state was invaded by hordes of young free-thinkers in VW buses; they camped out in Capitol Hill, Boulder, Nederland and Manitou Springs, as well as more isolated spots.

2012 | Best Standout Piece in a Group Show

For MCA Denver's Another Victory Over the Sun, put together by museum director Adam Lerner and assistant curator Nora Burnett Abrams, all of the exterior light sources were blocked, making the interior fairly dark, with the works only minimally lighted. But that was enough to make pieces by Denver artist David Zimmer stand out. A wall installation called "Chorus" was particularly impressive: On brackets, Zimmer had mounted thirteen apothecary jars with digital screens inside; on the screens... More »
2012 | Best Museum Shop

Tucked into a corner of the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver's first floor, this gift shop serves two distinct camps: curious tourists and curious residents. There are more than 150 books on artists, art genres and just plain weird stuff; I Feel Relatively Neutral About New York vies for attention next to How to Be a Man. Staffed by four rotating employees, the shop caters to both the silly and the serious, with shelves housing limited-edition art pieces as well as gnome-themed cookie jars,... More »
