Good luck trying to figure this one out. Popagandist Ron English takes a turn for the surreal in his latest, website-promoting short: “How to explain the art world to a dead hare.”
Graffiti writers bombed the outside of the Art Institute of Chicago, leaving a trail of aerosol carnage over 50 feet long on exterior of the Modern Wing.

Rachel Uchitel, Tiger Woods’ most popular jump off, said she can’t be in Howard Stern’s beauty pageant featuring the golfer’s mistresses because of legal reasons, but TMZ says her friends have suggested a cardboard cutout as a stand-in. Considering the company, what would be the difference really?
A $250,000 video art display is slowly creeping up at Los Angeles International Airport. 17 artists from all over the States are participating. Hopefuly, they won’t all make silly looking screensavers.
Driving down the road, a friend and I came across one of those ”runaway truck ramp” signs, and seeing as that particular sign pointed to a flat plateau that eventually turned into a large wall of rocky terrain, I’m not quite sure where the life-saving measures are in that, or why it was (seemingly) haphazardly placed there.

After announcing the opening of an office in Brussels to lobby against religion creeping into the European Union’s institutions, French Freemasons are making news again, albeit less controversial: their newly renovated museum with a dramatically scored website is open for business. The Grand Orident de France, the country’s oldest Masonic order, has put about 10,000 mysterious objects on display dating from the early 1700s that Dan Brown can now fictionalize well into the next decade.
“Neo-conceptionalist” Theo Sims boozes up Olypmics town with an art instillation replica of a Belfast pub inside a 12-by-20-foot plywood box. To make Vancouver’s Candahar “realistic,” Sims imported a pair of “Irish publican” brothers, complete with fedoras, thick sweaters and even thicker Ulster accents: awkward or awesome? Read more »
You’ve all heard Epic Beard Man’s version of events, but how about the other dude? Here’s the 50-year-old man identified as Michael lucidly discussing the incident. It’s amazing what some media attention and sobriety can accomplish, cause unlike that tough-talking guy on the bus, this gentleman has his shit relatively together.
