Kay Nine installation view at Deitch Proejcts
This is an installation shot from Ben Jones’s current show at Deitch Projects, titled “The New Dark Age.” As someone who has followed Ben’s work (via Paper Rad and solo projects) for years, I had to note that Kay Nine has gone from being fabricated from painted wood to now being made of marble and brass! A good reflection of our current times. Here is a photo of mine (and related post) from his 2005 show at Foxy Production:

I also really love his ladders:

If you had a choice of four daycare centers run separately by Michelle Obama, Sarah Palin, Hillary Clinton, and Nancy Pelosi, which would you choose for your kids?

We just listened to this amazing 2 CD set titled Hallelujah, Anyway: Remembering Tom Cora. It’s an album created as a tribute to the musician Tom Cora after his death in 1998, on John Zorn’s Tzadik label.
