Only thing wrong with this story: It isn’t true. BRAVO’s Untitled Art Project did not add auditions in Seattle, Boston, San Francisco and Dallas.
Richard Lacayo on the addictive quality of watching live coverage of the 4th Plinth:
Thirty five years ago Chris Burden put himself on a platform in a New York gallery for 22 days. But since Burden was an artist, that made what he did “art” in a more — is the word here “official”? — way. Gormley has democratized Burden’s work by letting anybody perform it, which of course is what all of us are doing all day anyway. I’m existing right now, and I’m not even on a pedestal.
More Lacayo here. Seattle’s piece of the Plinth here.

How did I miss this? Libby Rosof calls Jeffry Mitchell’s contributions to Dirt on Delight from the ICA (now at the Walker) the “Versailles of pickle jars.” Mitchell is currently at James Harris Gallery. Review soon. Jen Graves on Mitchell here.
