What does a nerd do while his daughter is on the couch with strep throat?

Make a Wikipedia article about the best work of art by Jean Tinguely in the United States. Go have a look and fix and typos I’ve left behind, or add more knowledge …

Eames Furniture and Miller House and Garden Links

Here are some links mentioned in Tricia Gilson and my presentation, Use, Degradation, and Patina: A Case Study of Eames Furniture at the Miller House and Garden, at Future Talks 011, in Munich, Germany. 

The presentation was given at Die Neu Sammlung on October 27, 2011. (The RAR pictured above is in the collection of this museum.)

Before this presentation, Tricia and I interviewed Eames expert, Daniel Ostroff, on Art21’s Blog in a two-part series: Following the Eames Legacy, a Discussion with Daniel Ostroff

Jean Tinguely’s Chaos I in Columbus, Indiana was brought back to life this past Saturday (4 June 2011).  It had been inactive for over three years while the original building it was in was taken down & a new building built around it.  

Chaos I is an extraordinary work of art, and without question it is the most significant work by Tinguely in the United States.  Check out Richard McCoy’s art21 blog about the sculpture.

Chaos Starts Again Today

Today at 1pm Jean Tinguely’s monumental sculpture will come back to life in the new Commons building.  It will spin, twist, clank, and surprise; check out out my column on Art21’s Blog for more information and come on out to the celebration today.

Next week Chaos No. 1 will be switched on at the new Commons, but already the playground is open, and it’s pretty amazing.

This month on Art21’s Blog I talk about Jean Tinguely’s Chaos 1 returning to life in Columbus, Indiana.
