via Lindsay Pollock: Six mysterious billboards have appeared on the New York City skyline, featuring an evocative image of a rumpled, morning-after bed.

This is not some Calvin Klein ad missing the models, but instead a 1991 work by Felix Gonzalez-Torres, from MoMA’s collection.

The billboards have been erected courtesy of Chelsea’s FLAG Art Foundation, as part of “Floating a Boulder: Works By Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Jim Hodges,” a show on view through Jan. 2010.

Manhattan billboard spotting: Meatpacking district at the West Side Highway at 13th Street and in Tribeca at the intersection of Canal and Varick Street at the entrance to the Holland Tunnel.

There will be more about Alec Soth later since a work from this series just happens to be in Photography Portfolio IV. But I am going in alphabetical order by last name so this won’t be for a while. Nevertheless, I love this work that Jen Bekman posted. Up next for PP4 artists will be Anna Gaskell.

William Powhida’s cover for the November Brooklyn Rail regarding James Wagner’s post regarding the New Museum committing suicide with banality.

Brilliant. The more I think about it, the more dissapointed I am that my first reaction was to defend the museum.
