Tilda Swinton is presenting a performance piece, The Maybe, at the MOMA, by sleeping in a glass box. As if performing in a David Bowie video wasn’t cool enough…
And speaking of David Bowie, the new V&A exhibit on the artist sounds AMAZING.
The author of I F*cking Love Science turned out to be a woman (gasp!), and some people were shocked, confused, and reacted by being sexist. Yep.
Continuing with the theme – a great female list of science writers.
A really interesting article on the life of a museum guard. At a previous museum I worked at, the guards kept a running list of how many people they saw picking wedgies on the security cameras.
Todd Balthazor, a guard at the Walker Art Museum, draws an autobiographic comic strip about his work.
In university, I lived in a house with a stick figure rendition of the Bayeux Tapestry above the sofa. This animated version is almost as much fun.

It kind of cracks me up (half a crack?) that the Tilda Swinton thing seems to be so divisive. I have seen at least a handful of people expressing irritation–if not outright disgust–over the idea, because it’s not art. I guess we all have our lines! (I’m not gonna pretend like I don’t have one, because there were definitely some things at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis that had me going, “nope, not art.”)
