I love Plensa's installation. Absolutely love it. But to me its Achilles heel is the words imprinted on the faces. Too obvious, and a discredit to the brilliance of the installation overall.

Seeing Lavadour speak is a huge, huge treat. But I'd rather have gone to see him talk about his own work.

Would love to hear JL talk about his own work too - but a good question is WHAT work. The museum hardly owns any. Still, both talks should be great.
