men in the cities

Robert Longo's Men In The Cities series leave enough to the imagination to keep them sitting there for a while.

sous la plave, la plage

I was raised in the far off, quiet countryside but now I'm a firm city girl and Robert Montgomery's odes to cities are very resonant to me.  I got all gushy and weird drafting this post, so instead I'll just leave the poetry on the page and hope that I can find a print of his to admire in my private space, since I have a feeling he's not coming to Philadelphia for an installation any time soon...

things from Katrin Hagen - all amazing

if that animal had an antagonistic relationship with humans and was vying with those humans for the favor of a Catholic God

I got this set of sketches by David Eggers last week and it's hard not to put one in ever room and make it creepy animal overkill.

I love my Manhattan print form Ork and given my obsession with the mind this new brain print may need to join the fold.

Richard Wilson 20:50

Visiting Richard Wilson's room of engine oil in the old Saatchi gallery many years ago was one of the greatest piece of modern art I'd ever seen, still ever seen. I headed into the walkway with no idea what the room was about, only that it was mirrored, to have the attendant freak out at me and tell me not to touch anything. As it was a room FILLED WITH OIL.

I was very happy to see its new home in the Saatchi space off the Kings Road this morning but they currently aren't letting you walk into the wedge. I felt pretty privileged to have been able to experience the piece as it should be, in the middle of a lake that is both totally black and empty but dizzyingly filled with twice the room all at the same time.

A definite must see all the same. And I love that it's ominously housed in Gallery 13.
