Performance is an integral aspect of Calzolari’s practice; he created happenings as early as 1966, drawing viewers into his artwork as performers in what he termed “an activation of space.” Pier Paolo Calzolari: When the dreamer dies, what happens to the dream? is on view at 510 West 25th Street in collaboration with Marianne Boesky Gallery until June 2nd, 2012.
Soooo nice!

Owls Form Neighborhood Watch
A pair of well-intentioned spotted owls in the small town of Lake Albany, GA — population 211 — have formed the nucleus of a new neighborhood watch group. “They already stay up all night watching the streets with those beady little eyes,” said town council member Roy Powell. “So, I mean, it makes sense, right?”
According to police records, there hasn’t been a crime in Lake Albany since 1987, so the effectiveness of the new watch group is hard to gauge.

Mel Bochner, “Oh Well” (2010).
This pretty much sums up my day. Also, can’t stop thinking about the Bochner show I saw at the National Gallery last fall.
Spectacular Aurorae Erupt Over Norway
Over the weekend, the Earth’s magnetic field was struck by a coronal mass ejection (CME). The CME — a vast bubble of solar plasma that had erupted from the sun on Jan. 19 — took longer than expected to travel through interplanetary space, but on Sunday it made contact.
Wow
