The collapsing of two conflicting states is the central theme of HERE AND NOW/AND NOWHERE, Tauba Auerbach’s new exhibition at Deitch Projects.

Them Crooked Vultures have announced their tour dates, and for some strange reason they are not playing NYC. I guess there’s always Philly.  Anyway, look like a long time fan with this T shirt.

So, you have 9 days to submit your work.

Detroit in its modern state of decay is so intruiging.  It reminds me of those weird towns in Atlas Shrugged, where all that remains is mayhem.  And for Detroit, all that remains are the Lions, Tigers, and Red Wings.

“Collage art food magazine, Food + Sex, is a combined effort of artists, writers, farmers and foodmakers exploring how desire shapes the food environment. By weaving erotic, shocking and thoughtful layers of beauty, wildness and the human spirit, we peer into the fire of hope and fear to find the hidden, seek the cosmic and reflect on the elemental connectedness in life that opens us to new ways of being. Included in its pages are a visual patchwork of uncommon art, essays and excerpts by thinkers, makers and doers from the food underground and beyond.”

Narrated by that kid and that girl.

A house made of Lego in a vineyard.  Something that I would have never thought of.  I want to have sex in it.
