I was there y'all! Murray was super fricken funny! Also, Clooney, with whole "adopting Brad Pitt's kids" thing. Plus, Jason Schwartzman has the shiniest hair known to mankind, fact fans!
I love the Tate (though it confuses me how to get to the different floors- and I am not being dense, they make it confusing) but man, I really hate Jeff Koons. For some reason he just riles my ire. I think it goes back to the time I was in fifth grade and we went to the MOMA in SF, the basketballs in the aquarium offended my sensibilities even back then.
@pony_express: I was typing, "I like the Tate; I HATE Koons" when I saw you beat me to it.
Warhol did it first, and at least he had some involvement with The Velvet Underground. I think Koons should aspire to Andy's legacy by arranging to get himself shot.
@Trai_Dep: Go to the (relatively new) Broad at the LACMA, it's like an homage to bad 80's and 90s modern art with an entire floor for Koons, including that bunny. Every time I see it I want to push it over to see if it would shatter like a christmas decoration. That being said, the only modern artist there I can actually wish a bad fatality on is Damien Hirst, I think he should get caught is a giant net and pinned for his butterfly atrocities.
@TedSez: Except Anish Kapoor would have to have made a time machine and gone back 24 years to have made his installation before Koons made his first stainless steel bunny rabbit.
If I were to see a masked, pierced, illustrated, g-stringed man wearing wooden, platform flip-flops on the sidewalk, I don't know that I'd have the wherewithal to take a pic.

Plus, WTF is he hiding in that thing/thong? His cell phone, keys and a 40oz?

We need to dance.
We don’t have that time
For psychological romance.
