Lists: To-dos

Lists: To-dos, Illustrated Inventories, Collected Thoughts and Other Artists' Enumerations from the Archives of American Art runs until September 2010, at the Lawrence A Fleischman Gallery, part of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC. A must visit.

This very mundane and ubiquitous form of documentation can tell you a great deal about somebody's personal biography, where they've been and where they're going. People can relate to this form of documentation because so many people are list keepers and organise their lives this way.

Random Thoughts

The job of CEO's is now to regain America's trust-and for the country's sake it's important that they do so. They will not succeed in this endeavor, however, by way of fatuous ads, meaningless policy statements, structural changes of boards and committees. Instead, CEO's must embrace stewardship as a way of life and treat owners as partners, not patsies. It's time for CEO's to walk the walk.
