Method: The Hut Project have devised a scoring system to rate the cultural value of artists CVs and have scored the CV of every Limoncello artist. A factor has been determined to scale The Hut Project’s score to the average price of a work by The Hut Project. This factor has been used to multiply the score of each Limoncello artist, generating a set of financial values. The financial difference between The Hut Project and each artist has been calculated. That amount of money has been spent on a material that The Hut Project have chosen to represent the conceptual difference between the work of themselves and each artist.

If you think, TOYGIANTS is just another book about toys and designer-vinyl, you are wrong. It’s far more than that. In stunning photographies, TOYGIANTS is taking the viewer onto an epic journey into the bizarre and fantastic world of art toys, action-figures and manga superstars. The project TOYGIANTS is the product of more than four years of collaborative work between Daniel & Geo Fuchs and collector Selim Varol.

Now, the second edition of the successful book is published as Silver Edition by Gingko Press. The Silver Edition additionally includes previously unreleased artwork from the TOYGIANTS series, a removable poster and an exclusive interview with the artists Daniel & Geo Fuchs and collector Selim Varol. To celebrate the book release, Daniel & Geo Fuchs are presenting in co-operation with artempus con-temporary gallery, Düsseldorf, the exhibition TOYGIANTS at Gingko Press’ own gallery Rebel Arts Gallery in Hamburg. The exhibition starts at the “Night of the Museums” weekend from April 26 on until July 31, 2008.

Jeff Koons' rooftop installation at The Metropolitan Museum opened today, featuring three stainless steel sculptures with transparent colored coatings. The three pieces are Balloon Dog (Yellow), Sacred Heart (Red/Gold), and Coloring Book, the last being the representation of a sloppily colored-in illustration of Piglet, from the Winnie the Pooh series. The special exhibition will continue through October 26.

The NY Times wrote the rooftop is "inhospitable site for sculpture," but "Their setting aside, Mr. Koons’s sculptures remain intellectually and sensuously exciting objects — 'Balloon Dog' is a masterpiece — and they are worth visiting under any circumstances." culturegrrl reports that Koons' "Tulips" was considered but ultimately deemed too big for the roof.
