New Art Show By John Lurie
"This Bird Has Absolutely No Face" by John Lurie
We paid a visit to the John Lurie opening at PS1 yesterday. (You may remember Lurie from Stranger Than Paradise or Fishing With John). His new art show is not to be missed. Yesterday, Willem Dafoe, Steve Bushemi, John Malkovitch, John Ventimiglia, and many more celebs all showed up to toast John's new show. Prints will soon be available on his website. We'll be picking up a few. Lurie is the rare artist who manages to merge a beautiful aesthetic with a laugh-out-loud sense of humor. Check out his new work at PS1. [Incidentally, Lurie is HUGE in Russia, though we're still not sure why.]
We attended the event with Cakehead, who has an hilarious musing on cubed cheese, the standard (but puzzling) fare found at every art opening.

Comments
if you take his art separately from its hilarious titles, it's actually a bit eerie and disturbing. (that's part of the appeal, i guess.)

You may also remember Lurie from The Lounge Lizards.
