Hilarious.

I saw this at the Guggenheim in NY. 99 Wolves + Glass = pretty cool, I don't like the total divorce the artist has from his work though.

Meaning?

I'm pretty sure he didn't actually make it, don't quote me on it though. Cai was at the Guggenheim when I was there, one of his peices had an entire crew of sculptors working on it. I don't know why exactly, but for some reason it niggles me that he's not directly involved in the making of it.

That's pretty cool. Were they real stuffed wolves though? Not so cool if so.

No, just replicas...

niksy · 10-03-2008, 04:42

Pretty cool...

Would you expect Richard Rogers to don a hardhat and get behind the controls of an industrial crane?

I just seen this as well. Really cool, apart from the comical penises that the odd one has. He has another piece where you get to sit in a little boat and pull yourself along a river and go underneath some of his other sculptures. He also does some awesome paintings and outdoor events using gunpowder.
