The inspiration for the Balmain collection is hard to miss, but I’ll gladly look like an egg if this is what one looks like.

Movies to see in March
and April. I’ve been at home sick for about a week. Love a good old respiratory infection, and at the worst possible time…while trying to pack for our move. In a week. Anyway, I’ve been watching a lot of movies to entertain myself while couch bound. Unfortunately I won’t bother mentioning most of them because they were terrible, but I did finally see Hugo (very good but it was overhyped) and watched an absolutely fantastic documentary called Page One about the NY Times. Really truly love a good documentary. So I figured I’d check out what’s coming soon for hopes the movies can redeem themselves. These look like they will hopefully definitely not suck:

The Whitney Biennial 2012
In the words of Roberta Smith for the NYTimes “One of the best Whitney Biennials in recent memory may or may not contain a lot more outstanding art than its predecessors, but that’s not the point. ” Which is something that, based on the images I’ve seen, I mostly agree with. To be fair, I’ve not seen many Whitney Biennials, none in person, in fact, but that doesn’t change my appreciation for the affect of the “ intimate studio experience rather than work made by assistants or jobbed out to China.”(jerry saltz nymag) With the constant struggle within the art world between art and commerce it’s nice to just see art. I’m not particularly aesthetically drawn to many of these pieces (really not a fan of dance and performance art) but I am drawn to the idea of leaving big business out of the collection. Definitely want to check this out
