\"shaqs_show\"<\/p>\n

I would love to have the clout of a curator from a well-respected gallery, with the power to acquire art work from all over the world. However, by ‘curator’ I didn’t think I’d be referring to the NBA’s Shaquille O’Neal<\/a>… but I am. On February 19th, ‘Size does Matter’<\/em><\/a>, a show curated by Shaq himself, opened at The FLAG Art Foundation<\/a> in New York. The show {that runs until May 27th}<\/em> explores ‘the myriad [of] ways that scale affects the perception of contemporary art.’ So, not only am I totally jealous that he got to do this, but I’m also insanely jealous of the 66 artists he selected {Jeff Koons<\/a>, Cindy Sherman<\/a>, and Chuck Close<\/a> just to name a few*}<\/em>. He even requested that a few new pieces be created especially for the show! Now that’s a lot of clout… 320lbs and 7’1″ of clout to be exact. Hm, I guess size really does<\/em> matter.<\/p>\n

*The work above is not from the exhibit. I couldn’t find examples of what these 3 artists contributed, so I’ve just shown pieces from them that I’m jealous of.
