Damien Hirst

Placed outside of the White Cube Gallery Masons yard at 3:30 in response to the Damien Hirst’s “For The Love of God” diamond skull exhibition.

fucking with damien hirst has to be one of the most meta fucks of all time.

a life-size platinum skull set with 8601 high-quality diamonds. If, as expected, it sells for around $100m this month, it will become the single most expensive piece of contemporary art ever created. Or the most outrageous piece of bling.

More than 180 people work for him, creating Damien Hirsts. 2 specialists oversee the formaldehyde unit, which on a visit in July contained 4 dead ponies, a wild boar, an upended cow and, in good “Godfather” style, a horse’s head in a plastic bag.

Explosive Ad

In a scene reminiscent of the Cartoon Network bomb scare that paralyzed the Boston area in January, police shut down a strip mall yesterday in this small western suburb after employees at a Bank of America branch mistook a botched fax for a bomb threat. The branch overreacted to the strange fax, which turned out to be an in-house marketing document sent by the bank’s corporate office.

what is BoA doing sending stupid faxes like that? the solution: radically cut down the number of branches and switch people to online banking

Enclume

We signed up for the “Underground Menu”, advertised as “No holds barred, no deviations” and running to as many as 26 courses. The chef Simon Rogan is possibly the most innovative chef in the UK, pushing forward concepts and ideas in molecular gastronomy more than anyone except Ferran Adria. It’s safe to say that I was more excited about this meal than anything I’ve eaten since the Fat Duck. This was “Charentais melon, horseradish, smoke”. It’s an elaborate inversion of the expected ingredients. The green ball is not melon, but actually a perfect sphere of horseradish cream, with a crisp coat, similar to a chocolate truffle with a liquid center. It was floating in melon juice/foam, dressed with drops of red salmon oil.

Molecular gastronomy at its best.

Creation Museum

What is this, then? A reproduction of a childhood fantasy in which dinosaurs are friends of inquisitive youngsters? The kind of fantasy that doesn’t care that human beings and these prefossilized thunder-lizards are usually thought to have been separated by millions of years? No, this really is meant to be more like one of those literal dioramas of the traditional natural history museum, an imagining of a real habitat, with plant life and landscape reproduced in meticulous detail.

a good way to laugh without wasting money

Early in the museum, the visitor is given advice on the proper mind frame to have for your visit: “Don’t think, just listen and believe”. They also rejoice in knowing that they will repopulate the earth after the flood with some more…… you guessed it: HOT INCEST ACTION!!!
