balloon dog


so when i went up to go to bamboozle with pat, we woke up that morning and decided that we didnt really want to feel like killing ourselves all day. so instead, i drove to nyc, and we went to the Met. this was a MUCH better choice. one thing that particularly stuck with me was their jeff koons on the roof exhibit - and how impressive it was to see. (i also liked that they had a roof martini bar with themed martinis to go with the works, but we didnt drink, unfortunately.)
along the lines of what we saw there, i even like this one of a giant blue diamond a lot actually, and a green diamond; but not as much as the cracked egg.



in a different medium, or actually combination of incredibly interesting mediums, this puppy is insane, made of stainless steel, wood, soil, geotextile fabric, internal irrigation system, live flowering plants.

also his ethereal work is awesome and i really like how food is worked into it (xtreme fat kid), the shape and texture it adds. he has a lot featured on his website, go look! although his kama sutra stuff where he features himself as a subject is a little odd, like a glass made to look like and ice sculpture where he's eating a vagina, you know, stuff like that, nbd.
