“All” exhibition by Maurizio Cattelan: consisting of 128 pieces of his life’s work hanging in the rotunda of the Guggenheim Museum.

Working in a vein that can be described as hyperrealist, Cattelan creates unsettlingly veristic sculptures that reveal contradictions at the core of today’s society. While bold and irreverent, the work is also deadly serious in its scathing critique of authority and the abuse of power.

The Ron Paul Insane-o-Meter:SOPA Edition
Ron Paul’s our favorite non-conformist nutball, even when he gets  carried away and starts to non-conform against his own agenda. Sometimes  he seems like the only guy in the Republican primary not trying to win  Sarah Palin’s endorsement; other times it’s like he’s been up for six  days straight, surfing the fringiest corners of the Internet and  collecting paranoias. In this recurring feature over at Death Race 2012, GQ’s politics blog, we  parse the Paulisms so you don’t have to. Today, GQ’s Mark Byrne examines what Paul had to say about SOPA during last night’s Jan. 19 debate in South Carolina (see below) and concludes it was… actually kinda sane. Click here to read the full breakdown.

What Ron Paul Said: “I was the first Republican to sign  on with a host of Democrats to oppose [SOPA, the online piracy law that  stirred up the collective rage of everyone with an IP address] and we  have worked, we have had a concerted effort and I feel like we’re making  achievements. This bill is not going to pass, but watch out for the  next one. And I am pleased that the attitude has sort of mellowed up  here, because the Republicans unfortunately have been on the wrong side  of this issue. And this is a good example on why it’s good to have  somebody that can look at civil liberties, and work with coalitions, and  bring people together. Freedom and the Constitution bring factions  together.”
