Visual Art Currently Hanging

^{Matt Browning's Trophy Trophy (2008), leather from baseballs, acrylic glue, 21 x 16 inches}

At Lawrimore Project. (Gallery site here.)

At a great, standing-room-only conversation with three artists last night at Lawrimore Project (tag-team moderated by free-range artist Jeffry Mitchell and analytical curator Sara Krajewski), Krajewski started things off with the question: "Trophies: Why are they so important to men?"

Saturday at 2, another artist talk at the gallery—with the anti-trophy-maker Heide Hinrichs. One of her works is a string of pearls on the floor that reverse-dominates its section of the gallery by making you fear stepping on it.

I haven't eaten a fucking thing today. Nothing, nada. Now I have to go to the dentist and get my chompers cleaned.

Hanging's too good for it.

Aren't wedding and engagement rings just trophies?

After all, that's why they call them trophy wives ...

Arms aloft, junk a-swingin'. 80s video game graphics. Sunlight in a southwestern desert.

Why are there only anti-trophies and no uncle-trophies?

I call shenanigans!

Ultimate trophy trophy: Peter Brant commissioning Maurizio Cattelan to create a wax bust of his supermodel wife, Stephanie Seymour, mounted trophy-like on a wooden wall plaque.
