did anyone check out Bacon at the Met?? I know I missed the show.

[Faust]

Oh yeah! I anticipated it so much that I went even before it opened to the public.
It was really good. Shame you missed it.

January 15th through April 8th, The Drawing Center in New York City is hosting the exhibition "Iannis Xenakis: Composer, Architect, Visionary", drawn from nearly a hundred documents housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale de France’s archives, placed there shortly before Xenakis’s death in 2001. The visual strength of the studies, sketches, tables of calculations, Cartesian grids, and conceptual renderings, are so beguiling that art connoisseurs might mistake them for gallery works – even though they were simply casual preparatory documents. To give a sense of the music resulting, iPods will be provided with recordings of the works on view; “listening stations” will allow viewers to experience two works, Pithoprakta and Mycenes Alpha, in conjunction with the a running display of the visuals that generated the sound.

And in conjunction with this show, the Electronic Music Foundation is sponsoring a number of Xenakis events, including on January 15th a virtual recreation of the experience of the Phillips Pavilion at the Judson Church (55 Washington Square South). Audiences will hear Xenakis’ Concret PH as they enter and leave. They will see the projections chosen by Le Corbusier accompanied by Edgard Varese’ Poème Electronique. The show, with a duration of less than 15 minutes, will take place every half hour, at 7:30, 8, 8:30, 9, and 9:30pm. Admission will be $1 per show per person.

The two exibitions at the tate modern at the moment are quite good, do visit.
One about pop art which was quite entertaining and one on john baldessari which was great also.

[laughed]

were you at the Prince opening? Jeff Koons was in the crowd and gave me "the eyes".
I'm not a Prince fan but honestly I enjoyed it way better than the Gursky, just to compare the two. Big prints of tweaked out crowds at Vath's Cocoon Club aren't my cup of tea.

In art-you-should-see news, Zhang Xiaogang at PaceWildenstein on 25th St. And same block, Joan Mitchell's huge sunflower abstracts at Cheim & Read.

lol...jeff koons gave you "the eyes"....that's funny. i wonder if i can get the audio anywhere on the net in regards to the mp3 guides.

Has anyone checked out the Tim Burton exhibit at the MOMA?

Thanks for posting this. For some reason I always miss good exhibitions at the ICP.

[endersgame]

ICP rarely has anything good. they had a small atget show a few years ago where a photographer was copying atget pictures by shooting them in modern time. kinda lame if you ask me..

[laika]

at Yvon Lambert

quietly disturbing, i lingered here for a long time

[Faust]

Boltanski at the Armory. Same one some of us saw in Paris. This might be a better venue.

[endersgame]
