All modern art is unpopular… and it is so not accidentally and by chance, but essentially and by fate.

Works of art make rules; rules do not make works of art.

I only use one type of pen.
… Architects love pens, and although your architect probably already has a lonstanding love affair established with a very particular kind of felt tip or rollerball, …
This is true. Even as a lowly architecture student, I have already established a relationship with a particular pen: the Pilot G-Tec-C4 0.4mm. Black and red ink only please.
Although, I disagree with the sports thing. (I am an avid NHL fan) I also disagree with wearing black. (But maybe that’s more pertaining to men) As for toys, see my post on Architect Barbie :D

We really do live in a consumer driven society. Especially children.
Advertising, it’s the twentieth century phenomenon that has turned us all into slaves of wanting the latest thing, the most popular brand and the most impressive car. Without it, maybe ideal capitalism would actually be achievable (I mean, there is no way Adam Smith could have predicted any of this…)
Artist Dietrich Wegner’s latest project.

Then, a whole bunch of basins crashed to the floor of the Museum of Modern Art, Gunma, Japan
This is a project by Koki Tanaka. The first work I saw of his was his video “Turning the lights on” (2007) at Nuit Blanche last year. Almost 6 minutes of lamps being turned on. Unfortunately it wasn’t on youtube, but it is being displayed at the Vancouver International Centre for Contemporary Art. Go see it, it’s brilliant.
