It also reminded me of this.  Mike Kelley, "More love hours than can ever be repaid" 
and "wages of sin" 1987.  Now on exhibit at the Whitney.  Stuffed fabric toys and 
afghans; wax candles to the left.  They are a collection of pieces that he found at 
the flea markets.

Matter of Trust, an eco-activist organization, is coordinating donation efforts to collect your old nylons and hair clippings in response to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.  Apparently they both collect oil, just think of how your hair looks when you don't wash it for a few days.  Please pass the word... www.matteroftrust.org

James Casabere 
Landscape with Houses (Dutches County NY) #1

Digital chromogenic print

I finally went to the Whitney Biennial this weekend, The James Casabere was my favorite... There were a few other memorable pieces, including the video installation from The Bruce High Quality Foundation, but they left me sad.

One of my favorite conceptual artists Rudolf Stingel collaborated with Bernardaud, 
French porcelain company.  This limited edition 2,500,  was inspired by the wallpaper 
in the dining room of his childhood home.  http://worksonwhatever.com/
