hyde or die

Sun Yuan and Peng Yu Old Persons Home 2007

There are a few genre’s of art that I especially love; hyperrealism, minimalism, installations, and neon come immediately to mind.  So what happens when you combind hyperrealist latex recreations of world leaders, install them in electronic wheelchairs with no sense of direction and then place them in a blank room to wander around and bump into each other aimlessly? I die.

The only thing that would have made this better was to install some neon signs above and let me peek in like a peep show.  That would have been scandelous.

This is installed at the latest location of the Saatchi in London.

Keith Haring Boxers 1988

I don’t put enough of his stuff on my blog.  As we know, I am usually not into political or socially charged art, but for some reason I can always get behind what is going on in Haring’s pieces.  I know it’s not just because I believe in the things that he believes in (which I do), because loads of other artists have done pieces focused on issues that I feel very strongly about.  It probably has to do something with his flawless and powerful simplicity.  Everything, the colors, the figures, the composition: simple but powerful.

I have had a bit of a problem w/ the scene in Terminator 2 where the bad Terminator gets stuck in the liquid nitrogen.  I always think “well isn’t that convenient, I mean WHEN do you see liquid nitrogen trucks?”  Now I feel silly b/c one of my coworkers just told me that there was an accident somewhere between here and Garfield where a liquid nitrogen carrying semi’s tank leaked everywhere.  I feel silly.

They want to do dinosaurs next.  Will someone with more money than me(if I had money I would, but I’m kinda broke right now) please buy these crazy scientists the Jurassic Park series? OBVIOUSLY, they have never read/seen them and are about to get us into a big heap of trouble.
