Puking Pumpkin

  • Just in time for Halloween: artful pumpkin carving. (Via Complex.)
  • Stuff to do in L.A. this weekend besides wash your car: Art Crawl X or checking out Julius Shulman’s vintage photographs of the growing city at the Getty.
  • In NYC: Don’t miss Joan Linder’s ballpoint pen drawings at Mixed Greens or Liset Castillo’s apocalyptic photographs of sand castles at Black & White.
  • And definitely don’t miss Kara Walker at the Whitney.
  • Sympathy for the Tobacco Industry: Altria is leaving town and, in the process, leaving 42nd Street totally artless.
  • Art apocalypse story of the day: An economist tells the Times of London that what “people are saying about the contemporary art world today is what they were saying about the Nasdaq in 1999, a year before it crashed.” (This story is also worth reading for all the flame-throwing quotes by New York art dealer Richard Feigen: “Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst have no place in the history of art.” Booyah!)
  • Geeks and polar bears rejoice: Al Gore and the U.N. Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change have taken home the Nobel.
  • Photojournalist Alexandra Boulat, 1962-2007. See a photographic tribute here.
  • Russian artist Kris Kuksi has made a piece that looks like a concept vehicle for the Pope.
  • The guy who runs Kid Robot likes to make the young girls cry.
  • Naked in New York.
  • Your moment of zen.
