Artist Jochen Gerz examines a German newspaper story on a recent installation similar to his project at the Broad Art Museum. The museum opens this weekend.

Photographers will take portraits of visitors for the display. When taken down, those who posed will receive a photo of one of the other participants.

Gerz says that portrait will be on loan from the museum.

You can pose for the exhibit today and tomorrow between noon and 3 p.m. each day, at the former Barnes and Noble bookstore in East Lansing.

More portraits will be taken during the Broad Museum grand opening festivities this weekend.
