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.
» Artist wants pedestrians to come as close the the water as possible
copenhagen. Olafur Eliasson, who co-designed the 2007 Serpentine Pavilion in London, will once more try his hand as an architect. The mayor of Copenhagen, Ritt Bjerregaard, has asked the Danish-Icelandic artist to design a bridge for the Danish capital, to be built in the heart of the city leading over the Christianshavn Kanal. It will connect an area dominated by office buildings designed by Henning Larsen with the headquarters of sugar producer Danisco. Describing his plans for the bridge, Eliasson said that he wants pedestrians crossing the river to come as close to the water as possible, and that he would like to make the structure partly transparent.
I can make you a 100% guarantee, you will never get me on that bridge. Ever. If it’s too close to the water that is eerie thensome sort of water creature will probably try and jump out and eat me, and if it’s transparent my crippling fear of heights will grab hold of me which will lead directly to a panic attack.
On Saturday, September 19th, from 18:00, at Biblioteca Universitaria di Bologna, it will be possible to visit Mediare l’esperienza: i libri di Olafur Eliasson, an exhibition produced by Artelibro Art Book Festival and curated by Luca Cerizza, featuring artist’s books and publications on the Danish-Icelandic artist, as well as one of his artworks.
An entire artistic itinerary, filtered and mediated through more than fifty books, will be presented in the beautiful historic setting of the Aula Magna of Biblioteca Universitaria di Bologna. The accompanying work “The endless study”, a version of a 19th-century harmonograph, is part of an investigation into the correlation between space and sound undertaken by Olafur Eliasson. via…
I would like to have all 50 of those books. I only have one, but this isn’t a contest, there is no winner.
Although, if I had 49 more books on Eliasson, I might feel more like a winner.

Well, now I feel bad for harassing all my guy friends in high school about how much better the Giants were than the Cowboys. Not really actually. It was fun to watch them try to argue with me about how that wasn’t possible. Little did they know, their efforts were futile, because I don’t care about football. Not even a little bit.
