On the eve of Hernan Bas' opening at The Brooklyn Museum, the venerable institution's Deputy Director of Art Charles Desmarais explains some of the practical considerations behind the exhibit, Bas tries to enjoy the moment without stressing about a solo show of new work the next month, and the Museum's Director Arnold Lehman exclaims, "If we don't have every New York museum visitor in to see this, it's their fault!"
