2011/2001
Peter Combe Parallels, Maurizio Cattelan: All, Guggenheim Museum, 2011/Stanley Kubrick, 2001: A Space Odyssey.
I couldn’t help but see the parallels.
Thanks to @Guggenheim for sending this blogpost into the Twittersphere, and to SFMOMA for featuring it on their blog.
Update Nov 28: Sadly the @Guggenheim Ow.ly link has now now fails since I changed my Blog URL a few days ago not realizing previous incoming links would fail. I did however get a hefty 1,000 very appreciated hits before the change.

A crucial figure in Post-war contemporary art, Isa Genzken (born 1948), is a Berlin based sculptor whose work re-imagines architecture, assemblage, and installation, giving form to new plastic environments and precarious structures. The artist represented Germany at the 2007 Venice Biennale and has shown her work in leading museums across Europe. She was among a group of prominent international artists featured in the exhibition “Unmonumental,” the survey that inaugurated the New Museum’s SANAA building. On November 13, 2010 her sculpture “Rose II” was installed outside the New Museum, NYC as part of a year long rotating installation.

To celebrate the close of the Guggenheim’s 50th Anniversary year on May 14, 2010, the museum ran a month-long competition corresponding to the exhibition Contemplating the Void: Interventions in the Guggenheim, inviting participants to reimagine the museum’s iconic rotunda. I love Karen Kilimnik’s submission.

Guerrilla Art @ The Indianapolis Star

That is not the work of a stoner with too much time on his hands and access to Photoshop. That’s the front page of the Sports section that went out today for the Indianapolis Star.
Imagine picking up today’s edition in the hotel lobby, thumbing through to get to the Sports section and seeing this? Instinctively, you put that one down, get another one … and see it again. The Star either had a sudden burst of ethics or the e-mail inboxes became inundated, because the newspaper sent out workers to swap out the page you see above with a doodle-free version.
