No but really. Someone finally updated his website. I’m a little sad about it actually.

Hung Liu. The Server, 2013. Oil on canvas. 72x72 in. #artfair #artmrkt (at Fort Mason Center)

Love how much attention Hung had been getting lately. She’s an incredible artist and an even more incredible person. I feel terribly lucky to get to spend time with her occasionally.

Self-Portrait as a Self-Destructing Chocolate Head

Many of us attending the opening of the New Museum’s “NYC 1993” saw visions of our former selves back in the day, but no one had more selves there than Janine Antoni.

On the second floor, on a row of high plinths, are 14 Antoni heads. These are her famous self-portraits, Lick and Lather, casts made in chocolate and soap that were modeled on classical busts and “re-sculpted” by the processes described in the title.

Standing nearby, Antoni enjoyed watching visitors walk up close to the heads, and smell them.

“There’s not a lot of time between smelling and biting,” concedes the artist, whose heads have been attacked that way on several occasions. “It’s a funny thing when you make pieces about desire and people succumb to their desire.”

Antoni is happy to make replacement heads, which she does using FDA-approved latex molds: “Then I have to re-lick it, which is a bummer.”

Despite a bumpy start (I’m looking at you Luxor cabs. Less of a look, more of a death glare. coughwaitedanhourforacabcough), last night was a success. artMRKT looks great, got to see a lot of people. Reconvened the team to head over to the very end of Art Pad, ended up hailing a limo (less of a hail, more of Em trying to hitchhike). Took said limo to the Phoenix, got to see a few more people before the fair closed for the night. Got the rest of the team, late night sushi and ended at Big with a lovely whiskey.

Good job team.

Who’s excited about this show?

I’m REALLY god damn excited about this show. (And the mural. We must not forget about the mural.) Still so much to do, but I can’t wait to send out the early press for this show and get everyone else as excited as I am. Did I tell you I’m excited? I’m excited.
