Urs Fischer Marguerite de Ponty, at the New Museum

check out the new charlie finch on artnet......you r not alone mr kalm

well Urs Fischer certainly does know what he's doing in this work, and the work certainly does work on it's own terms, whatever you make of them (and the expense issue). Thanks yet another high quality half-assed production

I'd rather buy a small oil on panel by Guston for the same price...

For those of you interested, it was divulged to me this evening (through back channel art gossip) that the the New Museum shelled out somewhere in the neighborhood of $330,000 for the installation of the show (not the fabrication, just the installing).
I knew it'd come out sooner or later.

Cost doesn't interest me relative to the economy. The Iraq war costs how much? But, as an artist, shows like this, high-budget installation, inspire me to do the opposite. The hand-made, individual artist has a lot to say about this. David vs Goliath. Kill the machines! :)

Thanks James... super video.

James, thank you again for your videos. I feel in touch w/ NYC scene while I can't be there at the moment. I believe the "shiny" art is much more a reflection of the individual myself. It indirectly questions you within the space of the gallery of what you stand for and what you think of the world, etc. I think it's great in execution and how it questions--just have to know when something's a question mark and not a period.

time for a new tag line vanilla-ice

not all studios are luxury spaces....we are on an Art channel and these issues are here...enough said......Art comments on and comes from all of this ....Art is always unreasonable.

PS
When ever some one tells me they don't care how much something costs, I tell them to send me a couple thousand bucks. They never ever do. Hell, they don't send a penny.
