The Mesopotamia show at the ROM has a wealth of material on the ancient civilizations of Sumer, Assyria and Babylonia. As societies that documented their world extensively (if not excessively), they reach across time to their brethren using Facebook, Twitter and the like.
Last night we took in the Ai Weiwei show at the AGO. The integration of traditional techniques of construction with a strong social and political conscience made for a spell-binding exhibit. The image below is from the show. A series of large wooden chests provides a portal in which all the phases of the moon are visible. Beautiful.
