Let the above “unsold, even at a charity auction” Robert Longo dog food bowl be a warning to artists everywhere about participating in projects outside of their area of professional competence. It was the only unsold work at a charity auction for PAWS/LA, where an Ed Ruscha dog bowl sold for 27K. Longo [...] Apparently Takashi Murakami marched in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade in the above flower fursuit, accompanied by giant Kaikai and Kiki balloons. I don’t know if he’s regained his awesome status with this or gone further down the art as marketing rabbit hole, but he’s adorable in that outfit, [...] “Anything in sufficient repetition or multiple appears to be art.” That’s the only thing I know for certain about contemporary art, and it applies to some of the worst, most boring trash, as well as some of the most engaging art of the postwar era.

I made smart use of the opportunity presented by my last “official” show at Angels Gate Cultural Center to riff on aesthetic alpha & omega that is To Live and Die in L.A.
