C-Monster is in town and beat me to the Francis Alÿs: Fabiola show at LACMA. I’m getting a peek at the “saint in multiple” project later today, but C-mon has the review and the pics (like that Fabiola on black velvet, above) already. I can’t wait to see it. Technorati Tags: Saint Fabiola, [...] That’s the totally 80′s mural below the elevated outdoor stage for aerobics and other physical fitness activities at Samitivej Sriracha Hospital in Sriracha, Thailand. Now that the 80s are back, this is totally contemporary again! Click here for maximum embiggening. Technorati Tags: Thailand, Sriracha, aerobics, mural, 80s aesthetics [...] My quest for severed heads in museums continues. I think my ultimate goal is to find a museum with an almost gratuitous number of severed heads, so I can crown it “Most Metal Museum”. Something along those lines. The two works below are of severed heads from the Getty, and although they’re not amongst [...] I wandered across what might possibly be the best of the worst of the Elizabeth Taylor/Richard Burton films on cable the other day, Boom!. It features Taylor as Flora “Sissy” Goforth, who has survived six tycoon husbands and now lives like a dictator (complete with machine guns and attack dogs) on an island [...] A little bird sent this my way and it demands sharing. Not only is a solid review of Executive Order Karaoke at MOCA, but it contains this gem: Finishing School has solved so many problems embedded in contemporary art with one great night out on the town. It was absolutely shocking that MOCA would [...] And like Tyler says, it’s good. Apparently, they also have a wiki, and are posting tons of YouTubage, including a trailer for LACMA’s beyond excellent exhibition Breaking the Mode and some Fluids footage. Nice showing on the Web 2.0 front, LACMA. Top post on the site right now is an interview with Shaun El [...] I was wandering the halls of the Getty Center today and came across this, and realised I didn’t have a shot of it. It’s the Portrait of James Christie, founder of Christie’s auction house, by Thomas Gainsborough. According to the label, Christie was a huge fan of Gainsborough, and he’s even leaning on [...] On the radio Wednesday I listened to some poor sap learn that his entire retirement portfolio was worth nothing and, yet, apparently some part of humanity is living like it’s the gilded age. I think Britain is collectively smoking something. That’s the only explanation for that black swan that is For The Love [...] Click through for full size action! Well, we all know that she wanted to keep Wasalia’s library free of pesky ideas, and I think it’s pretty plain that she doesn’t read the newspaper and that she slept through years of American history classes in school. What does she read? Well according to the [...] Thursday, October 2 Eric Johnson: Maize Artist Talk @ Torrance Art Museum. Mentioned yesterday, join curator Kristina Newhouse and Eric as they discuss his epic project. Starts at 3 PM. Executive Order Karaoke @ MOCA (Sculpture Plaza). It’s what it sounds like, and presented by the Finishing School. Hosted by Tammy Tomahawk. Win [...] |
