Museum crowd strategies (ask the garlic eaters)
As part of a New York Times special section on museums, one writer examines the strategies for coping at very crowded exhibitions.
There's a guy with a "Rock and the Stream" theory, ("Like in a river, if you stand in one place, the stream will move around you,") the tall guy's look-from-afar stance, the garlic eaters, the tote-a-wailing baby gimmick, and of course, the pusher: It's divide and conquer. I'm an artist. I want to get my nose right up to the paintings. This is New York. If you want civility, go someplace else, not a museum. Excuse me.
