✔ NYC: From Jeff Koons to Xanti Schawinsky

I ♥ as hell the Koons show at the Whitney

because there is still a strong ever lasting effect from his earlier works

but also some of his  so-called "commodified" new works can immediattely "break the ice"

Another show I ❤ is the Xanti Schawinsky show at the Drawing Center 

 he made this head robotlike monuments during the 1940s

despite their spookiness I was moved by their dystopian beauty

and retro-futuristic romanticism.

Temple of Play, commissioned for Frieze Projects 2013

Temple of Play is a multi-disciplinary installation for the Family Space

of the 2013 Frieze Art Fair.  It's a commission by Frieze Foundation  
The Temple of Play is comprised by the Emoticon Theatre, a workshop

where children explore the theme of portraiture 
encountered daily on our online visual culture

Children could make their own faces on the Family Guide 

specifically designed by Andreas Angelidakis
The guide was converted to Emoti-Cubes 
where impromptu mini perfomances were taking place

But also an interactive screen used between online and physical
activities

One other part of the workshops was that chidrend could
 build their own Temple using Crazy Forts

But also some relaxation podcasting inside the meditation pods

Another workshop was the collective Podcast Relaxation 
which aims to reconnect children with their physicality
