Reblog of the day! Congratulations David Hockney!!
Yesterday, David Hockney received an Order of Merit from the Queen of England, the highest honor that any citizen may receive. Conducted at Buckingham Palace, the only other recipient other than David Hockney was John Howard - the recent past Prime Minister of Australia.
Congratulations David on receiving such a prestigious award!

Reblog of the day! We agree…life would certainly be better if more sidewalks in New York were designed by great artists like Alexander Calder.
I can’t help but think that life would be better if all sidewalks in New York were designed by Alexander Calder.

Performance is an integral aspect of Calzolari’s practice; he created happenings as early as 1966, drawing viewers into his artwork as performers in what he termed “an activation of space.” Pier Paolo Calzolari: When the dreamer dies, what happens to the dream? is on view at 510 West 25th Street in collaboration with Marianne Boesky Gallery until June 2nd, 2012.

In his latest review Hyperallergic’s John Yau writes: At the heart of Nozkowski’s practice is improvisation, a willingness to take something (anything) and do something else to it. He seems to have been one of the few of his generation to understand Jasper Johns’s declaration: “Take an object. Do something to it. Do something else to it. Do something else to it, etc.” You can view works like this for yourself at Senior and Shopmaker Gallery on view til June 16th.
