- The Met is putting on an exhibition about unicorns to coincide with the 75th anniversary of owning the Unicorn Tapestries. [The Met]
- Monkey Farter: A veriositic use of art speak in service of satire. “Here, center stage, the viewer is first confronted with an image that he or she assumes is the monkey farter itself. It is however the first clue to the deceptive and perhaps dangerous game that Will has invited us to play. On closer inspection the object does not so readily give over to the expectations of “monkey” or “monkeyness”….” [Hyperallergic]
- Google Glass have begun arriving in the mailboxes of a few hundred “explorers” who pre-ordered the Internet glasses. So far, explorers have begun posting photos documenting the glasses’ meticulous packaging. [The Atlantic Wire]
- Andrew Goldstein talks to BOMB Co-Founder and Editor-in-Chief Betsy Sussler. “I thought of BOMB as a one-act play, with a catharsis and denouement that would be tied around revelation.” Sussler tells Goldstein in one of seemingly countless quotable moments from the interview. [Artspace]
- Calvin Tomkins profiles Jasper Johns, not as an artist but as the executive of the Foundation for Contemporary Arts (FCA).

Note: Paywall. [The New Yorker]
