Self-indulgently, here are some of mine. They are part of my 'sweater series.' Two old ones, and one in-progress. These JPEGs are slightly larger than life-size, on my screen at least.

On the middle right of this image, you can see what most impressed me about this installation: the talking pie.

This and the other threads have gotten so long and unwieldy that Jeff and I have decided to just do a blog.

It'll be the same kind of thing, more or less daily, so if anyone reads this thread, please join us at the official roni horn memorial blog:

So much good stuff on this thread. ILX keeps me interested in art.

cough

can highly recommend the Vilhelm Hammershøi exhibition at the RA (London) - turn of the century interiors, either empty or with a single figure facing away from the viewer. Very subtle, almost minimalist, a sense of privacy, a slght feeling of the sinister.

Tom Friedman show at the Gagosian with a piece using artist's boogers.

blog is still going strong!

It would be so retarded to put a picture link because this guy seems quite in thrall to the dematerialzation of the art object dudes as well as 90's conceptualism (good thing, anyone giving props to Felix Gonzalez Torres is down with me)

Seriously check this guy out, really nice realization of very elegant ideas about technology and memory and emotion. His reinterpretation of Perfect Lovers is so simple and brilliant, the audacity of someone who doesn't feel the need to smother their work with themselves.

i knew it would b you!

Haha!

Greatheads up on Hammershoi and Friedman btw. Friedman is one of those guys where I pick and choose the stuff I like, so (as usual) the show was only half successful. Hammershoi was a revelation since i've only scarcely come across him in books. Portraits were all disturbingly impersonal studies in subtle shades.

Recommend both though.

Mary Heilmann and Blinky Palermo I love you.

... Blinky Palermo I love you.

Now I will have "Bitchin' Camaro" by the Dead Milkmen stuck in my head.

I am in Felix Gonzalez-Torres-hypermode right now and loving it!

Haha! I rarely leave that!

My goal is to find an exhibition of his, go everyday, and steal enough candy to make a full pile in my bedroom.

Someone I know actually did stuff his pockets from one of those.

Nick Cave (the other one):

great post,

joe, the first time I saw any Jesper Just was when I wandered into a retrospective of sorts in the Rotterdam contempoartc. I think for such sensual work it needs to be shown really richly and generously.
