- Ouch. Jeff Koons has reduced his studio staff by half. The gazing ball paintings aren’t doing very well. (Surprise, surprise. They’re terrible.) [artnet News]
- Wow. Ben Davis really doesn’t like documenta 14. He calls it “deliberately irredeemable”. A fun read. [artnet News]
- Ew. A noose has been found hanging from a lamppost outside the National Gallery of Art. [Hyperallergic]
- Activist group Care2 is calling on Bill de Blasio to make some of the rainbow colored sidewalks honoring the LGBTQ community permanent. That would be so cool! [Curbed]
- I bet Londoners can’t wait for it to rain now. Burkinabe architect Diébédo Francis Kéré has unveiled this year’s Serpentine Pavilion, an blue structure with a latticed canopy that will turn into a waterfall when it rains. It was sunny the day it was unveiled. [Dezeen]
- “This country cannot afford to be materially rich and spiritually poor.” John F. Kennedy once said, referring to the arts. The Kennedy Center will open its expansion in 2018. A great little profile on Kennedy’s relationship to the arts. [The Washington Post]
