Ron Mueck: Brooklyn Museum
(11 January 2007) - You might have already heard, but it's worth a reminder that time is running out to see Ron Mueck's solo exhibition of eleven extraordinary works at the Brooklyn Museum through 4 February 2007. Known for his empathetic renderings, the sculptures are startingly lifelike—so much so that it was easier to look at the sculptures that had their eyes closed, because only then could you...

20.21 at the Walker Art Museum
(29 November 2005) - Heading to Minneapolis? Check out 20.21, the recently opened Wolfgang Puck restaurant in the Walker Art Museum. Similar to the successful pairing of Danny Meyer and the MoMa (where The Modern shines as brightly as the building and the art), Puck has collaborated on the food for the Museum’s restaurant and café. Chef Scott Irestone’s (Photo credit: Tom Wallace, Star Tribune, 2005) menu is...

Chuck Close: Self-portraits 1967-2005 at the SFMOMA
(10 November 2005) - I meant to post this earlier this fall when this show (a collaboration between the SFMOMA and the Walker Art Center) opened in Minneapolis but by the time I got around to it the show was nearly over. Fortunately we all have a second chance now that this amazing retrospective is about to open at the SFMOMA. This was an important show for the...

SAFE: Design Takes on Risk
(01 November 2005) - MoMA's current lauded exhibition SAFE: Design Takes on Risk, brings a collection of objects to the MoMA Design Store that are as conceptual as they are useful, including the the original Champion Swiss Army knife (part of MoMA's permanent collection), a handbag that looks as if it contains a knife (pictured), and items from Kosuke Tsumura's Final Home line, like the 24-pocket nylon coat...

The Freeman PC Museum Collection now on eBay
(13 October 2005) - The Freeman PC Museum Collection is de-accessioning their impressive collection of personal computers—more than 440 computers (and their peripherals, manuals, software, etc.) covering the last thirty years of personal computing. Probably the largest of its type, the collection is currently on eBay and has been posted widely. Tell your friends with deep pcokets (and even bigger storage spaces) or your company/clients to jump on...

BICA is beyond Brooklyn
(08 July 2005) - The Brooklyn Institute of Contemporary Art's branding goes, "Beyond Boundaries" and last Thursday's opening event (called "Living for the City") proved no exception to that. It was totally refreshing to see art works from all over the globe (literally) and such a diverse crowd of people chilling (sweating actually - no A/C!) and checking out young, old, emerging, and veteran painters, photographers, sculptors, and...

Blow Job Puzzle Card
(22 June 2005) - I recently tried to track down a copy of Warhol's notorious 1964 film Blow Job to no avail. The 41-minute black and white film of a man's face ingeniously embodies whatever clever joke it is that Warhol seems to always be smirking about in photos. Second best to owning a copy is definitely this puzzle card that takes a still of the famed cigarette...

Libeskind in Progress
(20 April 2005) - We mentioned Libeskind's addition to the Denver Art Museum back in February and just included a rendering of the fantastic cubist design. Cubistro has been taking photos throughout the construction process that are a must see for any of you die-hard fans. ...

MOMA: San Francisco
(19 April 2005) - SFMOMA has a stellar exhibit going on right now for the 2004 SECA award winners. The artists who won the honor to show in MOMA are all extremely talented--and range from very detailed ink and gouache drawings like this to a 30-foot wide installation made up only of small loops of cellophane tape. I'd recommend taking some time to look at the work of...

Banksy Hits NYC
(24 March 2005) - The work of street artist, graffiti writer, and over all mischievously impressive prankster "Banksy", never ceases to amaze me--but this time he really hit a home run. Banksy hit New York's most famous museums, dressed as a British pensioner. He entered the Brooklyn Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art (shown above), and the Museum of Natural History, carrying some unusual works to install. He...

Cai Guo-Qiang: Inopportune
(02 March 2005) - The Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art Commissioned New York based artist Cai Guo-Qiang to create a work expressing his view on the current state of global affairs. The result is Inopportune, a four stage installation, an eerie dream of dazzling lights and ghostly cars, tigers and arrows, explosions and stillness. These images are of Stage One, the brilliant centerpiece of the show. Nine cars...

The American Package Museum
(25 February 2005) - The American Package Museum has and extensive collection of package design from the early decades of the 20th century. Chewing gum, shaving cream, cereal boxes, and more-- there is a lot to check out there.

Chichu Art Museum
(23 February 2005) - I haven't had the pleasure of traveling to Japan yet, but very soon I'll be going on a cool hunting adventure there-- and I don't know if I'll ever return! One place I must stop as I'm on tour around Japan is The Chichu Art Museum. It's only accessible by boat, and Tadao Ando designed it to be completely built into the ground and...

The Windcheetah
(17 February 2005) - This is the Windcheetah, the world's most advanced recumbent tricycle ever. It still remains the only trike to have set six significant speed and endurance records as well as having the honor of being exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim museum. This Hypersport model starts at $5350, other models start at $3588 respectively-- but they don't have the extensive bad...

Denver: Art Museum Addition
(10 February 2005) - The Denver Art Museum is getting quite the grand and futuristic expansion--They're calling it the Frederic C. Hamilton building. It's going to be an impressive geometric shaped explosion made of glass and over 230,000 square feet of titanium all designed by Daniel Libeskind. Libeskind designed the Jewish Museum in Berlin in '99, and in '03 he was selected to design the World Trade Center...

Mill City Museum—Minneapolis
(04 February 2005) - Mill City Museum, one of downtown Minneapolis's latest architectural achievements. Rather than completely erase the existence of the former flour-processing plant that was destroyed by fire in 1991, the new museum was constructed within the remaining outer walls, now jagged and ragged but still intact. The Mill City Museum, designed by local firm Meyer, Scherer & Rockcastle, is constructed of ground-to-rooftop windows and steel beams...

Tee Museum
(24 January 2005) - Tee Museum is a very neat way to shop for limited edition t-shirts. No it's not a real museum although I wish it was. It's an online shop--they call it fine art that you can wear. They feature designs from around the globe, and their first featured artists are NYC’s Cynthia Marlan and Swedish Artist Andreas Lindkvist. ...
