Interacting with Luke Savisky’s New Works, an immersive installation with cameras, lights, couches, spinning objects and 3-D glasses. Awesome. The exhibit is up through May 9 at the Austin Museum of Art. (Photos by You Know Who.)

Stonerrific: Chrysler Wallpaper by Thomas Bayrle at the Venice Biennale 2009. See it large. (Photo by San Suzie.)
Because everyone and their mother has a year-end list wrapping up all the newsy, important stuff in the known universe, the staff here at C-Monster.net decided to stay away from topical affairs and dedicate its list to the people from 2009 we most want to eat pink cake with.
- James Franco. For equating General Hospital with performance art (in the Wall Street Journal, no less). We’ll buy that.
- Vik Muniz. For all the chocolate art. And the Rebus show at MoMA.
- Paul Pfeiffer. Duuude. (See Caryatid.)
- Werner Herzog. Because he is completely insane in only the best, most Teutonic way. Plus, he teamed up with David Lynch this year. It doesn’t get stonier than that.
- Maurizio Cattelan. How do you say whoa in Italian?
- Pipilotti Rist and Ernesto Neto. At the same time. Inside one of their installations.
- Tim Burton. Shit, he’s Tim Burton…and he has a MoMA retrospective.
- David Attenborough. How else would we know about slug sex?
- Lady Gaga. The music is totally uninteresting, but the visuals, oh the visuals…
- Jerry Saltz. Seriously, dude. Bring Roberta and we’ll blaze.
Happy 2010, everyone! See you in the New Year…

Right outta Star Wars: Afterparty by MOS at PS1 in Queens. (Photos by C-M.)
An architectural installation that appears to have been upholstered with the fur of a thousand Wookies. A tiny video of a screaming lady embedded into the wood floor. A swimming pool that is both full of water and totally empty. Plus: elevators armed with LEDs and rooms carpeted with vinyl records. If you were looking for some astonishingly stonnerrific art with which to cap off your summer, then make a beeline for PS1, in Long Island City, where you can put the strawberry cough to excellent use.
You’ve got a week to blaze and gaze, since some of the pieces will be taken down after Sept. 28.

Regina Hackett got me thinking about non-existent curtains with this post last week. I’d like to add to the meme by submitting the above piece, by Heather Cook, which is currently hanging at Foxy Production in NYC. It’s a flat black fabric ‘painted’ with bleach to resemble a piece of wrinkled material. (The bleach removes pigment from the black cloth in a reverse painting process.) Can’t believe it’s flat? Here’s the side view.

Two Spanish Masterpieces, coming right up. (Photos by C-M.)
If Velázquez were a burger, what would he be? According to Brooklyn artist Joe Protheroe, he’d be a mound of minced beef and lamb, seasoned with cumin, olive oil, garlic and cilantro, and he’d be topped with chopped tomatoes, shaved shallots and a “fierce” Valdeón blue cheese. Protheroe’s burger, The Spanish Masterpiece (which also paid tribute to Goya, Dalí and Picasso), was one of various conceptual art burgers served up this past weekend at the Laundromat Gallery in Brooklyn, where local artists showed off their mad grillin’ skillz at The Burger Group Show.
There were burgers inspired by Robert Smithson, Robert Motherwell, Rachel Harrison and Jeff Koons (The Cheesy Koons). There was even a Bernini Burger:
a beef patty, fleshy and rounded, surmounted by flowing draperies of prosciutto, a cloud of goat cheese, and a splash of the finest extra virgin olive oil. St. Teresa herself never felt such an ecstasy as this burger will provide.
Unfortunately, it was not for sale. I did however, sink my teeth into both the Spanish Masterpiece and the Robert Smithson — both of which were delicious, though I have to give top honors to the Masterpiece for its finely rendered condiments. There were a couple of art burgers I was bummed not to see, however: the Claes Olden-burger (seriously) and the Andy Warhol Burger. The latter would have been less artisanal and more multi-media. You show up with a sack of fast food burgers and you film people eating them. Even so, the Burger Group Show was an all around tasty good time — to the point that I hope this becomes an annual event.
