How much you want to bet that REVS and COST didn’t know about this? A pic of the McDonald’s at the Louvre, in Paris, with REVS/COST wallpaper — found on -eko-’s Flickr. Plus: see the Norm MSK wallpaper at a McDonald’s in Japan. Also, Jake Dobkin provides a little background.

Nefarious bacon thingies are occupying somebody’s psyche. And they’re now on view at Winkleman’s Curatorial Research lab in Chelsea. (Photos of photos by C-M.)
There’s a get-inside-the-mind-of-the-artist show going on at the Winkleman Gallery that is worth spending some quality time with. Signs on the Road is a found-object show about found objects: The organizers (a group known as Workroom G) got 150 artists to submit images of things that they are currently fixating on. And it’s a wonderfully random array of things, from photos of gnarly bacon appetizers to scans of marked-up books to a vintage prom advert that is all kinds of sky blue.
Over the course of the exhibit, the photographs will be arranged and rearranged by various collectives. The version I saw, on March 31, was damn intriguing, with oodles of twisted-crazy stuff to look at. It was like the best part of surfing the web, but without that feeling of being totally cracked out. If you go, be sure to take your time. You’ll miss lots of ridiculosity if you try to rush through.
Signs on the Road is up at Winkleman Gallery in Chelsea through April 30.

Hey Folks:
I’ve got a copy of Patrick Nguyen’s and Stuart Mackenzie’s Beyond the Street: The 100 Leading Figures in Urban Art to give away (courtesy of the kind folks at Gestalten). It’s a who’s who of street art’s scene-y scene. Y’all know the drill. Leave a comment and this puppy could be yours.
As always, muchas gracias for reading C-Mon.
xox,
C.
