"Innen Stadt Außen" is the title of Olafur Eliasson his upcomming exhibition at the Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin.

Innen Stadt Außen concerns itself closely with the relationship between museum and city, architecture and landscape, as well as between space, body and time. The site-specific investigations within the museum are amplified and commented on through ephemeral projects in public space, thus linking the Martin-Gropius-Bau to various places within the city.

This photo of the Berlin Fernsehturm gives you an idea what to expect. The exhibition opens on April 28th and you'll have time till August 9th to go and see it.

McWisdom from McGinley

“I think masturbating is the most creative that you’ll ever be. You’re creating this whole scenario in your head for just, say, five to ten minutes, just to please yourself. And people do it every day and don’t realize how it’s a total art form. Does that sound gay? No, but it’s true! All these insane thoughts go though your head, like all these crazy mass images and information, like creating people that you’re really into, creating this whole situation in your head, like of your best friend you grew up with, or your high school gym teacher or whatever, just to have an orgasm! And that’s awesome; that’s what photography is about, making images to please yourself.”

its preeeetty cool
i feel like i might go through a phase of staring at his work for a long time then get tired of it,
and that he's probably another super famous artist and i'm too out of the loop to know,
but right now i'm totally obsessed with it:
