If it hadn't been for the comments dissing the installation (comments made by a person who holds a degree in art history and who worked at MoMA in NYC), I might have felt a little sympathy since the installation blocks the view of the skyline, a view that the Art Institute advertises in rental promotion materials.

best quote from Alias's linked story:
"David Brooks’ level of mental sophistication makes that one episode of Beavis and Butthead where Beavis gets stuck in a pipe look like The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire… crossed with Ulysses!"

Though dismissed by hard-core leave-no-trace campers (who don’t so much as move a rock for fear of affecting the area), glamping can still be an environmentally sound outdoor experience, even if it does include creature comforts (like not having too many creatures inside your tent).
So basically there are two kinds of campers: those who "glamp" and those who not only avoid moving even the very rocks themselves, but actively enjoy have animals inside their tents.
Good research, Jennifer Conlin. Presumably you interviewed some of these "hard core" campers? The ones who "dismiss" your totally fake "trend". Right? Otherwise what dismissal are you talking about?

I know I shouldn't respond. It doesn't bring out the best in me. It's like the New York Times personally trolls me every day just by existing.

Also that article is a couple of years old, so glamping has been going on all this time without our knowledge and it's probably "over" by now.
