I am entirely convinced that the future is Papier-mâché

Johnson Wax for no reason

I never thought I would blog a Frank Lloyd Wright building, but this has been sitting at the image folder for ever, so maybe by posting it I'll find out why it was there. or maybe not.

maybe it's because it looks kind of interesting under construction

its also very cool as finished

or even under analytical demolition

the hall falls under the "I always love a lotus flower ceiling" building

Randomness

As Spring rolls along, Troll building remains Ungreen

Another Sunday a few weeks ago, we walked by a building I love.

It seems to sit there abandoned, 

overrun by greenery that is no longer green

I often wonder if that's what people mean 

when they talk about Green architecture.

This house just looks haunted, 

spooky

down to the dead cat doormat

Another Type of Minimalism (Butch Queens Voguing Fem Pt-ii)

Butch Queen Voguing Fem

or maybe they should make a category "Butch Queen Voguing Art"

Robert Morris is of course the guy who invented Minimalism 

(along with maybe Process art and Earthworks)

Here is pics and a clip from "Site" 1964-1993, a performance by Morris

interpreted by the white hot Andrew Ludke

and Sarah Tomlinson in the role of Olympia

 shot by the great Babette Mangolte

and newly acquired by Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid. 

Another version of the performance exists on youtube, 

grainier but somehow less sexy, with Morris and Carolee Schneemann.

I'm always super intrigued by Morris' legendary
and super straight minimalist show 
“THE OBJECT IS LESS SELF-IMPORTANT” at Green Gallery, 

and the super gay poster for a subsequent show at Castelli-Sonnabend

Happy Panda Friday

Mai Ueda made these drawings of the two happy Pandas.
They have been sitting for a while in the 2blog folder

Along with the curious cats, they decided it was time to be here.

Primer Proforma Pre-Bellevue

 It is not often that artists can have a museum to their disposal, to do as they please for 40 days. That is the case with Primer Proforma at MUSAC where Txomin Badiola, Jon Mikel Euba and Sergio Prego take over the museum and continuously work for 40 days

an inflatable structure snakes through the rooms

leaving behind it artefacts

and interestingly akward spaces for the visitors to negotiate

a black horse

visitors get the chance to see something completely in progress

tripods waiting for cameras

from room to room the inflatable

results in a giant pillow, that ate their studio

at another section Yorgos Sapountzis takes over the Laboratorio 987

 with a mashed-up structure containing screens and sticks and black fabrics, 

titled Pre-Bellevue

that expands to the roof to look at Leon

and here is a clip of his always great videos

Did I just blog the entire Thomas Schutte exhibition at Museo Reina Sofia?

(child pose?)

Last Saturday I visited Thomas Schutte's Hindsight exhibition at Reina Sofia in Madrid. I was never a huge fan of Schutte, because I had never seen such a comprehensive presentation. I could not stop taking photos.

bleeding monster?

Lonely watermelons?

shy watermelons?

ending with "goodbye cave"
