Acting on orders<\/a> is a new project by the likes of South African artists Barend de Wet, Douglas Gimberg and Christian Nerf. Please note that this opportunity is only open to American citizens. Feel free to email your order today to MuseumOfContemporaryArt@gmail.com<\/p>\n

Me? I asked them to share a really good cheeseburger. I’m admittedly unsure what all the images on their site<\/a> are, but they are fascinatingly odd juxtapositions of the everyday along with notions of terror. I guess others’ orders were far more interesting than mine…. If you’re a citizen, please go ahead and outdo me.<\/p>\n

\"Act
\nAct 018, c. 2008, De Wet | Gimberg | Nerf<\/small><\/p>\n

Acting on orders<\/a> is part of the Emergence: Creative pioneers in uncharted territory<\/a> show at \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcCommanders House\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 (Building 14) on Governors Island, NYC. Other friends of implicit art<\/a> on the exhibition include Avant Car Guard<\/a> and Chris Jordan<\/a>, and I’m sure the longer list of artists contains several other people I’d probably like<\/em> to be friends with.<\/p>\n

More info here<\/a>. Check it out if in town.<\/p>\n

update<\/strong>: apparently, “Act 020 has been produced in response to [my] command.” Ahem:<\/p>\n

\"Act
\nAct 020, c. 2008, De Wet | Gimberg | Nerf<\/small><\/p>\n

It does look a bit like it could be a wrapped up cheeseburger, no?… So I guess it’s the artists and not the commanders who are more interesting than me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
