Was thinking about how much press a Beating Heart in a Box Amused and Horrified Manhattan Elite and how much press it likely got.
In fact, I should go by the exhibition and visit it, since I live in NYC.
According to Gizmodo:
".... Billy Chasen, the artist who encased a still-working, exploded iPod in resin, put a new piece up at the American Heart Association's 2008 Heart of New York Gala at the classy Waldorf Astoria hotel in NYC. Watch as a heart sprays blood all over the inside of a glass cube! Be made curious by the strange juxtaposition of such a gruesome piece with old people in tuxedos! Get distracted by something else due to your short attention span! [Billy Chasen via NotCot]"
As long as it's a fake heart, not a real one (that would be really scary).
How strange. And I love how he looks so very proud of himself. ;)
