New York's Whitney Museum is showing the works of master innovator and Utopian, Buckminster Fuller at a new exhibit entitled, "Buckminster Fuller: Starting With the Universe."

In its June 30th edition, Newsweek magazine describes Fuller, who nearly everyone called Bucky Fuller, as "an impossible figure to pigeonhole."  Among his many hats were architect, artist, professor, poet, philosopher, futurist, and of course, inventor.

Fuller is best remembered for his creation of geodesic domes.  But he also tinkered with a one-piece take-it-with-you bathroom, a three-wheeled automobile, and a patented blueprint for an underwater city, the magazine notes.

"The Whitney show dips a toe into very deep and swirly waters," reporter Cathleen McGuigan writes.  "The limitlessness of his thinking can sometimes strike you as kind of arrogant or even nutty, but it's inspiring nonetheless."
