The Sixties in Full Swing at UC Berkeley Art Museum

The sixties are in full summer-of-love-y flower all over the country, (Museum of Arts and Design had a show, another in Los Angeles) but especially in northern Cal where it all began. UC Berkeley Art Museum has a show up for a few more days and then the big SF guns at De Young mounted their own hippie-inflected show. On view, many walls of psychedelic posters, fringe, embroidered flowers, fringe, macramé and weaving, fringe, photos of be-ins, musical interludes, fringe, virtual rooms with astral projections, furry seating, etc. The times they are a changing but not so much it seems. Does anyone remember that the sixties were scary too?
