Good Enough to Eat

Last chance to check out the Vik Muniz exhibit at P.S.1 in Queens. Muniz uses everything under the sun--including spaghetti, caviar, wire, and trash--to recreate both famous and common images. He then photographs those creations. The above image of Jackson Pollack is made with chocolate syrup, the middle picture with gumball machine-sized toys, the bottom with marinara sauce. Although some may think that Muniz's technique is one big gimmick, I find it consistently playful and clever. The exhibit ends May 7. (Images via Tfaoi.com, Artnet.de, Uruloki.org)
