Marilyn by Douglas Coupland. Pretty much perfect. I chose this because it references Murakami, it seems, and I love this one better than the ‘brands’ versions. But the upside down is also very nice. I actually wish I could own this. I sense a greedy attitude today within myself. See them all on coupland.com

"You have always been a very responsible guy—an immensely productive artist, generous teacher, devoted father, art-world citizen. Does it ever make you a little wistful not to have been more of a screwup?"

David Salle asks John Baldessari a bunch of questions. There are no answers. I really like this.

historians discover tiny numbers and letters in the eyes of the Mona Lisa

dihard:

A member of Italy’s National Committee for Cultural Heritage found a musty old book in an antique shop which describes how the Mona Lisa’s eyes are full of various signs and symbols. This prompted the committee to examine high res images of the painting. Sure enough - they found symbols and letters in the eyes! There’s an LV in the left eye, and in the right eye are symbols.. or the letters CE, or a B. Still under investigation.  !

You cannot make this stuff up, otherwise this would have been in Dan Brown’s book.

Dirty

pasithee:

I get catalogs from art shops in the mail as Christmas comes closer. Like a pervert relishing her dearest fetish I pore over the pages, nearly panting. Words like ‘beechwood’ and ‘studio’ wink out at me. They flirt. Winsor & Newton (My heart). Sennelier (Oh). I imagine holding parcels filled with tubes of pigment and sable brushes. I fantasise about rolls of paper. I daydream about ink stones that match my hair on the train; when I meet eyes with a stranger it’s as if they caught me thinking about them naked (I don’t even particularly have a need for an ink stone). T makes jokes about me moaning easels or X-Acto knives when we have sex. Is it peculiar to buy a Christmas present for yourself? Is it odd to lick your lips when you think about flicking through thick art publications?

Uhm, no…

NYU photography professor Wafaa Bilal displays the digital camera mount which he has had implanted in the back of his head as part of a year long art project at his apartment in New York, December 7, 2010. The concept of the project, titled The 3rd I, is based on the idea of capturing things subjectively, without the interference of a viewfinder, according to Bilal. For the next year, images from the camera will be streamed over the internet and at a museum in Qatar which commissioned this project. REUTERS/Jessica Rinaldi. via… For some reason I thought the camera would be inside his head, and all you’d see would be a iSight-like squared little hole. That would be weird though.
