these are a few of my favourite things


is anyone familar with the art of Cuban American artist Felix Gonzales Torres? His work is some of the most beautiful stuff i have ever seen ... it makes me love art again when i become sceptical about what's out there now a days

his light bulb "arrangements" are my favourites

this one is called "lovers in Paris", 1993

did anyone see a similar sculpture shown in the Primavera exhibition in 2002 of light bulbs which flashed on and off and at different intensities in response to the movement in the gallery space? I sat watching it on the MCA benches for hours ... so gorgeous...

    Speaking of which - the light in my room blew the other day. Now I live in darkness, and no not the metaphorical darkness that most weedy, pathetic internet nerds and goths think is cool, actual darkness, the abscence of light. Morons.

    I have to use the light on my mobile to navigate my way around the room. I might just buy a new light bulb tonight. I am going to K Mart to get a new washing basket. Should be good.

    Anyone win any money on the Cup?
