Who knew? Grand Central has a spare room. I’d never noticed the palatial wings of Vanderbilt Hall until they were swarmed yesterday with hundreds of people, all waiting for two small herds of Nick Cave horse costumes to move.

Don’t worry about Tilda. As MoMA and the Armory become even greater parodies of themselves, and after a long series of depressing gallery trips, things outside the mega-art world are looking up.

TED was the favored talk style of the Friday afternoon portion of the Creative Time Summit. In 8 minutes or less, speakers delivered inspirational, arms-length examples ending with a suggestion or a rhetorical question. But past that and the fact that too much time was spent on Nato’s pants, a few speakers offered concrete ideas.

Creative Time’s sent some art to space, the Brooklyn Museum is organizing hundreds of open studios across the borough, and at least one event requires 3-D glasses. Also this month, check out shows at Marian Goodman, Tibor de Nagy, Venus Over Manhattan, the Swiss Institute, and Gavin Brown.

Monday Links: Sotheby’s Chairman Apparently Not A Grouse

by Will Brand on August 20, 2012

  • Henry Wyndham, the European Chairman of Sotheby’s, was shot in the face last Monday in a grouse-hunting accident. As has been established, that’s a funny thing to happen to a person. Fortunately, he’s been released from the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery. [Daily Mail]
  • Jen Catron and Paul Outlaw, who you may remember from the AFCRPAAaA*, won Creative Time’s sandcastle-building competition last Friday. In keeping with their longstanding interest in needlessly elevating people, they created a multi-tiered human fountain and spit on each other. Ryan McNamara, meanwhile, buried people in polygons. [NY Times]
  • Read Hyperallergic’s Jillian Steinhauer on Mitt Romney’s plans to cut art funding. Her words: “Romney is simply following in a long line of Republicans who have used claims of cutting arts funding as a diversionary tactic, a way to appeal to conservative voters without having to talk about what a smaller government would actually look like.” [Hyperallergic]
  • AFC likes Randy Kennedy’s survey of art bookshops and art-book shops. [NY Times]
  • Tony Scott, the director and producer who created “Top Gun”, “The Good Wife”, and “Enemy of the State”, jumped off a bridge Sunday. Many people wish he hadn’t. [L.A. Times]

Back in March, Facebook launched Timeline, a redesign that allows users to fill in milestones and user histories all the way back to their births. Five months later, nobody I know has done much with the feature, but I have noticed a few art institutions starting to fill out their histories. I figured they already had websites that hosted a lot of the same information, so I spoke to a few staff members about their objectives for Timeline and how it was working out.
