If you are like me and think that all current women’s fashion design looks like it was designed for heavily pregnant women by toothless fortune-tellers from Bucharest, then Moritz Waldemeyer’s forays into fashion for the likes of Hussein Chalayan, are a breath of modern, fresh air.

Television Delivers People – Richard Serra
June 5th, 2008 · comment or link to (permalink)
Celebrated artist, Richard Serra’s sweet little piss-take of TV as being pernicious not because it isn’t active, but because it isn’t even passive – it consumes you. Complete with brainless test card music.
Thanks: Dan Westlake
Luc Tuyman vs Joshua Bell Bakeoff
April 24th, 2008 · 2 comments or link to (permalink)
One of the world’s most successful painters, Luc Tuyman, recently exhibited on a wall in a side street ( via Boingboing ). This is reminiscent of when one of the world’s premier violinists, Joshua Bell, played in the DC Metro.
Both Luc Tuyman and Joshua Bell are good sports. They both ventured outside of their natural habitat to display their feathers in ordinary situations to see if people noticed. I put this up as a contrast to the previous post about Gregor Schneider, since neither of these people are Fartists (Feeble artists).

David Hockney on What’s Unphotographable
A nice clip from The New Shock Of The New, which I assume is an update to the classic Robert Hughes series of the 70s. The original series would rank in my top 10 all time TV programs, so I am now scurrying around trying to find a complete version.
