golf and art

My friend took me to an art exhibit last week.  We had a blast.  If you are near Salt Lake, it is at the Salt Lake Arts Center, right next to the Salt Palace and Abravenel Hall.  I think it goes until Sept.
It was an art exhibit of an 18hole min-golf course.  You receive a ball and a club next to #1 and you get to mini-golf your way through 18 holes.  Each hole was by a different local artist, and very individual. 
Each piece was so cool.  Everything from geometrics, to noise, to mechanical dis-advantages.  All told a story (a few I didn't understand).
Some were hole-in-ones and others, well, we cheated.  I laughed, a lot.  I don't know if it was my friend, the nice people I met, or the joyous atmosphere... probably a combination of all three.  I have never laughed at art like I laughed that night!
