Gahhhh.. Unicorn chaser please.
...really needed a unicorn aperitif, too.
It could have been goatse with clothespins.
I just put some Scotch tape on my nose in the shape of a piece of Scotch tape. I too am an artist!
/runs crazily down hall in search of a buyer.
yes, but perhaps not a very good artist
I just took a friend to the Hirschhorn Museum in Washington DC. He is not an art guy. At all.
I just wanted to see one piece, but he insisted on checking the whole collection - and he groaned at each turn seeing things that seemed too simple to really be "art."
It was interesting going through the exercise of getting him to understand the contemporary collection that I wanted to view.
He finally got it (while viewing a piece where an artist carved the names of hundred of gay bashing victims in her skin, made blood prints of the names on index cards, and then hung the cards across a huge expanse of wall). But it took a lot of work and it only happened when he found a piece he could relate to.
I'm usually at a loss for words when explaining why certain favorite artists (like Mike Kelley or Thomas Hirschorn) are good. It's sort of like, if I have to explain it, it's no good.
Anyhow...
Gross.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccckkkkkkkk!!!
it hurts just looking at the first few... no me gusta.
No umlaut?
Where did he get those tiny clothespins?
While that looks totally gross in a passing glance, it doesn't seem that bad once you take a closer look.
Now, if it had been -pins-...

Do you remember the name of the artist that did the piece with the blood prints?
