Hah. Sometimes it seems like I spend most of my weekends there. It is a great suggestion though! I haven't seen as much work there that I found "challenging" as I would like. Challenging to my assumptions, perceptions, or awareness of how others experience the world, or challenging the status quo in some way. However given the reaction some works that I consider only mildly challenging have already gotten (e.g. M.F. Husain, or the recent incidents in Chennai) I'm not really surprised. Thanks for the suggestion! -- Charles
