a love of 'X'

How can anyone deny the beauty and the simplicity of 

'X'

I have been obsessed and captured by
"X marks the spot" 

since I could remember.
From x____x being my favorite emoticon since the age of MSN,
to finding my obsession for Uglydolls,
The stumbling across to KAWS (Brian Donnelly) 

on one fateful day in 3rd year. 

This exhibition is one that I could practically

find myself in tears at.

 

KAWS @ PAFA

(Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts) 

is his latest solo exhibition including his iconic vinyl sculptures
(with references to Bugs Bunny,
Michelin's Bibendum
and pretty much anything you can relate to)

The odd relationship between perfectly molded sculptures

 & 19th century figure heads is enough to blow your

mind away the moment you enter the exhibition.

(insert tear jerking moment here)

KAWS @ PAFA -- Pennsylvania

x x -- brightens my life.

There's something realllly enticing about the simplicity of 'X's.

Of course, the fact that these simple shapes
are graced by the heart-stopping, pee-my-pants-able...
KAWS
(aka//Brian Donnelly)

Now making bulbies for the 'Standard Hotel'.
Limited edition (obvi)-- 1000 sets of 3 bulbs.

The awesometastic-ness lies within subtle changes that
make something so freakin' remarkable.

RED, PURPLE & GREEN 'x' filaments.
= $65 a pop.

sad note: i feel like geniusness shouldnt be so elitist =(

“Just changing a small thing, like a filament,
can turn a light bulb from a standard everyday
thing to something you want to look at,”
“You’re raised not to stare at light bulbs,
but this is the opposite of that.”

ship me to connecticut.

I would like someone to go and install this in my backyard vicinity now.

This 16-feet tall KAWS companion missioned its bum
all the way from the 852 Hong Kong (love) to grace the
Aldrich Contemporary Museum in Connecticut with its presence.
(until June5th/2011 anyways)
