I can’t tell if this recording of Olafur Eliasson’s Blind Pavilion is tedious or brilliant. It’s not long, just about 3 and a half minutes, but it’s interesting to be “reading” a book from the perspective of someone else, at their pace, at their glance. Thoughts?

I like tunnels. All kinds of tunnels. That’s probably a weird thing to admit, but I just felt like sharing that bit of information with you.
Olafur Eliasson and Anish Kapoor have been commissioned by the Israel Museum to create two new monumental installations on the Museum’s campus, as it nears completion of a comprehensive renewal and expansion, together with a complete reinstallation of all of its collection galleries. These site-specific works will be installed as focal points within the Museum’s newly re-organized campus, opening to the public on July 26, 2010.
These commissions include:
Olafur Eliasson’s installation “Whenever the Rainbow Appears”, consisting of 300 individual paintings that represent in paint on canvas the progression of colors in the spectrum of light visible to the human eye. Measuring a total of 15 x 2.4 meters (or nearly 50 x 8 feet), the work reads from afar as an extended continuum of color. It will be installed at the end of the Museum’s newly designed “Route of Passage”, an enclosed walkway bridging the Museum entrance with a newly centralized Gallery Entrance Pavilion at the heart of the campus.
Anish Kapoor’s site-specific sculpture of polished stainless steel that takes the shape of a 5-meter-tall (15-foot) hourglass. Anchoring the Museum’s outdoor Crown Plaza, at the highest point on its 20-acre campus, this monumental work responds to the duality of Jerusalem, inverting reflections on its curved and mirrored surface of Jerusalem’s sky and of the Museum’s built landscape.

I love that you can see the cameras in the mirrors.

So, BMW picked their new art car and they went with…JEFF KOONS!!! Ugh. Could you be more predictable and publicity hungry? No, you probably couldn’t. After all the great art cars of the past, especially Olafur Eliasson’s that I actually had the pleasure to see, this is super disappointing. I will probably expand upon this later when I have had more caffeine.
Ugh, I’m in a foul mood now.

It’s times that I see this that I remember that Richard Branson STILL hasn’t contacted me and I have an absolute zero chance of getting to Coppenhagen to see this. My mind can’t even wrap around the idea of all these people in the same room.
Also, the champagne is flat and the caviar is all gone.

I can’t stop with the grandeur and romance. This, the Vick piece, and on and on. I need more macarbe, more destruction…I’m going to start looking for Bruce LaBruce or Chris Burden. I need to snap out of it.
