1. I so don't care. I'm offended that White Cube will put in this boring, overblown (haha) crap.

2. Some guys last year broke into the Pantheon to fix Foucault's pendulum clock - which hadn't been working since the 1960s. The French government had NO CLUE until 'UnterGunther' presented the clock to the head curator of the museum.

3. FYI - the new Tate Turbine Hall installation. Dang, I miss that place.

4. "All the attention of it -- how much money is paid for a Peter Doig or a Damien Hirst -- distracts us from thinking about what the work is about. It's amazing that these contemporary artworks are selling for as much money as they do, but I don't think it necessarily helps anybody appreciate what's interesting about contemporary art." Neither does talking about attendance numbers...
