See The George Condo: Mental States Exhibit In London
Provocative American artist George Condo is having his first major UK exhibition this winter at the Southbank Centre. A one time assistant of Andy Warhol, Condo is best known for his portraits of imaginary people and the artwork for Kanye West’s latest album ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’. To accompany the exhibition the Southbank shops will be selling $400 silk scarves printed with the album artwork, previously on sale at the Colette boutique in limited to runs of 100. A must-buy item for those that want to drape an image of Kanye fornicating with a phoenix around their neck. For more frugal visitors, there will be a collectable set of playing cards on sale for $20. Entrance to the museum is about $14.

See The Love Me & Skullphone “Sculpture” Exhibit In NY
New York’s Curtis Kuilig, better known as “Love Me” is opening a joint installation with L.A.’s SKULLPHONE at the Mallick Williams Gallery. The collection is entitled “Scripture” and it ends this weekend, so you only have these two days to see the exhibit.
Curtis Kulig decamped to New York where he splatters the words “LOVE ME” across the city’s sprawl. Shouting from dripping red rooftop rollers to a uniform sticky message reigning over the cityscape… is his message an honest plea, or just a self-conscious hypocritical statement that is filled with self-doubt? Inverting the I heart NY slogan to the most basic of human desires, “LOVE ME” is becoming a New York icon by being virtually everywhere you turn; confronting onlookers with their most primitive human needs when they least expect it.
Best known for his witty black-and-white image of a skull holding a cell phone, Skullphone began installing artwork on city streets in 1999. In addition to his overlapping appropriation outdoors – reworking, enlarging, and repeating imagery – Skullphone’s oeuvre has expanded through calculated re-contextualization indoors. His new work examines contradictions in digital media, demonstrating cause for both wonder and concern over the increasingly ubiquitous medium. Skullphone has recently shown at Subliminal Projects, New Image Art Gallery, the Riverside Art Museum, and was featured in MOCA’s 2009 FRESH Auction.

Financial Tip Of The Day:
Establish a Good Filing System
One of the biggest costs associated with financial disorganization comes in the form of missed payments. You can add a file for unpaid bills in your filing cabinet. However, if most of your bills are electronic, you can create a folder on your computer for unpaid bills.
