- Finches play avant garde rock. Effing amazing.
- A work of art that places itself on e-Bay every seven days. (Hat tip, @russelltrombone.)
- Can collectors have their art and lend it too? Covered in this NPR report: Don Fischer/SFMOMA, Eli Broad/LACMA and Dakis Joannou/New Museum. Excellent piece.
- St. Peter’s painted-over privates causing all manner of scandale at the Vatican.
- Ben Davis at ArtNet does a most excellent job of rounding up illicit photos of Tino Sehgal pieces — and wonderfully deconstructing Sehgal’s no-photo policy. Best line: “Sehgal is into light bondage; a whiff of brainy sadism runs through his oeuvre.”
- Deitch gets a big ol’ profile in the LAT. Interesting fact: he hasn’t driven a car in 40 years. My prediction: he’ll be doing the Tokyo Drift within a year.
- A replica Ferus Gallery.
- A super groovy Yayoi Kusama 1967 video round-up. Am now afflicted with strange urge to put leaves on a naked guy.
- The Getty is on Flickr.
- Art in a Box.
- The Mona Lisa in coffee. Plus: In the same post, Regina Hackett does an art industry smackdown on Tyler Green. Juicy.
- “Rebel Artist’s Tragic Ending.”
- ¡Graffiti World Smackdown! Robbo vs. Banksy, the Sequel.
- Today’s Street Art: Hello Kitty Chemical Factory.
- A robot tagger.
- Frank Gehry withdraws from Museum of Tolerance project.
- This house in Estonia kinda brings to mind Tara Donovan’s toothpick cube as described by the LAT’s Christopher Knight.
- The Oscar Meyer Wiener Mobile dog bed. Oh yes.
