I
Because I do not hope to turn again
Because I do not hope
Because I do not hope to turn
Desiring this man’s gift and that man’s scope
I no longer strive to strive towards such things
(Why should the agèd eagle stretch its wings?)
Why should I mourn
The vanished power of the usual reign?
Because I do not hope to know
The infirm glory...

The New Museum Does Damage Control
Like good journalists should, Gothamist follows up:
“The New Museum just gave us their statement: ‘On Sunday, Feb. 8th around 1 p.m., two young men walked up to the front of the museum, and dumped a dead deer onto the sidewalk, and then ran away. New Museum security staff followed and was able to get photos of the two men. A police report was filed and the deer was quickly...

Roadkill Graces the Bowery, New Museum
A dead deer graced the New Museum on Sunday according to Gothamist via City Noise (and corroborated by the New Museum’s press office). Bambi arrived on the Bowery around 1:30 pm, apparently; from where, no one knows. I spent most of last week around the museum conducting an interview with a friend freshly arrived from London for his opening there. No mention whatsoever from anyone,...

Searching for a Definition of Lo-Fi Architecture →
” … So with all these ideas rattling around, I posed a question to the hive-mind of Twitter: What’s the architectural equivalent of lo-fi? However, unlike the aforementioned posts, the idea here is more general than single-serving building-song pairings. What makes lo-fi music, lo-fi?

Speaking of Sehgal
Tino Sehgal punks Frieze’s Jörg Heiser; gallerist Jan Mot delivers the blow:
“I summoned my courage – and asked Mot straight to his face whether he and Tino had parted company. ‘Parted what?’ he replied, ‘what do you mean?’. I was perplexed. Was he saying that he didn’t understand why I could have assumed that? Or was he saying that he – as a Belgian talking to a German in English –...

Take Drugs, Sleep at the New Museum for $10/Hour →
Artist Chu Yun is looking for women from 18-40 to take sleeping pills and sleep on a bed in the New Museum from noon to 6 pm every day. Pay: $10/hour. Better, perhaps, than the spinal abrasions I incurred by throwing myself on the cement floor of the Wattis Institute again, and again, and again for Tino Sehgal’s “This Exhibition.”
