The Police Play Times Square


For all of you slackers who don't work, a chance to see the band, Police perform this afternoon. Limited Space, get there by 1230pm!!!!!!

My favorite POLICE song: Beds to Big without You! Never Saw this Video Until Today! 80's Drama meets Comedy.

last Friday's first Friday


Cai Guo-Qiang's INOPPORTUNE: STAGE ONE was impressive and so was Shepard Fairey's DJ Set. He played a great range of classics from the late 70's to 2008: highlights included The Clash, Roxy Music, Tom Tom Club, Grandmaster Flash, early 90's Dr Dre/Snoop...we were in heaven...I only wish he would post his playlist. Oh yeah, and did we mention this was all on vinyl!

This picture from our IPHONE doesn't really do justice...check out the guggenheim's site for pics and a video documenting the installation...The exhibition ends May 24th, don't miss it. Tip: for $75 dollars you can join the Guggenheim, visit any location and you get to go to First Friday events FREE and you don't have to wait in the crazy line that goes around the block.

INOPPORTUNE: STAGE ONE
Cai Guo-Qiang is internationally acclaimed as an artist whose creative transgressions and cultural provocations have literally exploded the accepted parameters of art making in our time.
This is especially true of Inopportune: Stage One, Cai’s largest installation to date, which presents nine real cars in a cinematic progression that simulates a car bombing, occupying the central atrium of the Frank Lloyd Wright rotunda.

This video documents the incredible installation process of Inopportune: Stage One, which Thomas Krens, Director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, says "may be the best artistic transformation of the Frank Lloyd Wright space we've
ever seen."
