The Big Slushy Apple

Carsten Holler at the New Museum

First step, sign your life away, so you can go down a slide spanning the 4th floor to the 2nd floor of the museum

Parakeets in steel cages, a mirrored carousel, and a line waiting for the slide

What greets you when you finish your descent: fluorescent beached (maybe dead?) animals

A fish tank you can "submerge" your head in without getting wet

"Psycho Tank" ... visitors got naked to soak in the salty water set at body temperature ... I passed

Installation by Situ Studio in the Brooklyn Museum's Great Hall

Situ covered the existing columns in fabric to create distorted, playful columns

Jack Strange at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery

The headphones instructed you on a guided meditation of how to stare at the gallery wall

Rebecca Campbell at Ameringer McEnery Yohe

I love her bold statement: "...I've choosen, mushroom cloud, rainbow, lightning, the nude. They are melodramatic and cliche, almost empty symbols, but they also have different faces. Chancing embarrassment and failure is nothing to uncovering a piece of enormity of the image I once knew. I am an artist. Risk is my obligation."

Devin Troy Strother at Monya Rowe Gallery

Partially inspired by his aunt's shelves and the way she displayed her knick knacks

It would take hours to read this piece, but it immediately seemed to tap into the occupy wall street fervor in the air
