Trumbauer architecture and LIVE 8, etc.
While the Philadelphia Museum of Art (of which Horace Trumbauer and Julian Abele are two of its architectural designers) will be the backdrop to LIVE 8 Philadelphia, it should also be noted that the Washington Monument within Eakins Oval at the end of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway (where I think the LIVE 8 stage will be) is Horace Trumbauer's earliest design on record (1890).
The Free Library of Philadelphia at Logan Circle on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway is likewise a Horace Trumbauer design.
Helena is busy working on her paper "Pilgrimage, Reenactment and Tourism" which she will present at the Washington Monument within Eakins Oval 18 August 2005. She assures Otto that the Papal events in Rome this past April and LIVE 8 are indeed the culminating points of her paper.
And don't forget "Creating One's Own Virtual Museum of Architecture" will be presented by Richard Krautheimer and Philip Johnson on 7 July 2005 within the enormous subterranean arched vaults of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Winning or Losing?
I'm presently preparing a course on 'the history of terrorism in film'.
The first assignment is to watch The Driver's Seat (The best worst movie ever made??? It sure terrorized me!) and comment on the explosive terrorist incident just outside ancient Rome's Altar of Peace. Extra points if you also comment on Liz Taylor's "What time is it?" and Warhol's mumbling cimematic debut.
"This movie really puts the art in fart!"

Re: Art Basel a good place for finding a gallery?
My 'shameless self-promotion' only proves that I'm not as stupid as everyone else when it comes to painting a (Duchampian, even?) picture of myself.
I now know that I don't know what velatura is. Gosh, one just never stops learning.
I learned long ago that life is much better lived shamelessly.
meanwhile, back in the afterlife:

Re: is this terrorism?
I think terrorism is just going to get worse and worse, ie, more and more prevalent. As to art terrorism, maybe unisex toilet rooms in an art museum would be more terrorizing.
Has any artist every taken a picture of an art museum urinal with urine in it? Or how about a real elephant in an art museum taking a shit on a religious painting?
Doesn't Holy Terror entitle a 'tell all' book about Warhol?
The invention of 'du the du'.
