Buckminster Fuller:  Starting with the Universe, Now - July 5th,
Chicago, IL
  I recently returned from seeing the Buckminster Fuller exhibit at
  the Museum of Contemporary Arts (MCA) in Chicago.  I expecially liked
  that the Dymaxion Study Center is part of the exhibit.  That and the
  Chicago features in the exhibit made it especially valuable even if
  you saw the show at the Whitney last year.  More details are at
    http://www.mcachicago.org/exhibitions/exh_detail.php?id=202


George Mokray pointed out these interesting video resources:

Those videos remind me of the playlist I put together on YouTube of
"Synergetics Shorts":

We are most probably here for local information-gathering and
local-Universe problem-solving in support of the integrity of
eternally regenerative Universe.
