- The Dutch collector Bert Kreuk, artist Danh Vo, and Berlin gallerist Isabella Bortolozzi have resolved their two-year legal dispute over a site-specific installation at the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague. Given the details of the dispute, though, my hope is that people will stop collecting Vo all together. (Haha. Like that will ever happen.) After a judge ruled that the artist and dealer had indeed entered an agreement, the judge ordered Vo to produce a “large and impressive” artwork for Kreuk within a year. Vo proposed that his father fill the walls of a gallery with the text, “SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS, YOU FAGGOT.” Needless to say Kreuk rejected that proposal and they came to some other undisclosed agreement yesterday.

- The Senate Finance Committee is reviewing the non-profit status of 11 private art museums. Honestly, this is a good thing. The Brant Foundation, for example, is open to just about nobody most times of the year, putting into question the public good the museum serves. [Hyperallergic]
- There is a Dean & Deluca mirrored cheese room at Design Miami. Some highlights from that fair? [artnet News]

- Our favorite photoshop job of the week comes from Gawker, which asks which presidential candidates have suffered brain damage. Their x-ray reveals a dead brain inside the skull of Donald Trump. [Gawker]
- Last night I met Paddle8’s Dave Harper, who told us the Miley Cyrus performance he saw last week in New York was amongst the best art he’d seen this decade. I wanted to know more, so I looked up the show. Here’s a descriptive, but favorable review from the Times. She dressed up like a stick of butter and disco ball. [The New York Times]
