Giant Robot’s Eric Nakamura (side note - the Japanese American National Museum opens a Giant Robot Biennale on November 3)went to the ©Murakami Press Day and shot a whole Flickr Set full of photos (83 in all).  From the look of it there’s a lot of old faves.  Enjoy.  Eric’s take on the Louis Vuitton shop? “It’s going to bank big time.”  Member’s opening is tomorrow, and I’ll be there, to bask in the glory and all that.

At Top - the ©Murakami Louis Vuitton Store in action.  Again I feel that just having a little kiosky booth in the gallery is not going far enough.  They should have built a whole free-standing concrete block structure inside of the Geffen, which itself would be for sale, and need to be sliced into two halves to get out of the building after it was bought by some poor, lonely hedge fund manager after having one too many, and wishing to impress his girlfriend.  Oh, and the employees of the Louis Vuitton store should be sold along with the building to live out their lives as art slaves.  If you’re going to make a statement, make it loud, for Chrissakes.
