Mika Rottenberg @ MoMA

Don’t miss your chance to stand up and ask one of those crazy modern artists, “Hey do you know Matthew Barney? Can you ask him to tell Bjork that I think she’s the bomb?” On Tuesday, video artist Mika Rottenberg will be at the MoMA taking questions about her art (see above image) and possibly about Matthew Barney’s wife as well. Check out event details here.

Sigur Ros rocks the Balzac

Sigur Ros @ MoMA

On Iceland’s independence day, Sigur Ros chose to be in NYC to celebrate Olafur Eliasson’s P.S.1 show by performing in the MoMA atrium and hanging out with Fred. On stage with the band was none other than Honoré de Balzac, preserved for posterity by the great Auguste Rodin. Why is a monument to a French writer by a French sculptor on stage with an Icelandic band celebrating a Danish-Icelandic artist? That will remain one of life’s great mysteries. Here’s another great mystery: if silk-screen artist Shepard Fairey (of Obey Giant fame) and Sigur Ros singer Jónsi Birgisson were standing in the same room, could anyone tell them apart?

Fred in Asia, part 1Fred in Asia, part 2

Where on Earth has Fred been recently? Why no FredSpot updates? Well folks, Fred has been in Asia clearing his mind and learning the wisdom of the ancients. And while he was gone the rest of us just watched American Idol and caught up on some sleep. But now that Fred is back from his spiritual journey, he’s ready to kick out the jams all summer long. Which means FredSpot is back in action, baby! But before we get started, lets share a moment of zen with these photos of Fred coolin’ out with some truly monumental figures, courtesy of his guide to the Far East, FOF Rachel O.

Free. Beer. Yes. Please.

If you don’t know about Wakozi.com, go there right now and order some booze from your local booze shop. Or some pilsner and pork rinds from your local bodega. Or Fred from either place. Then sit back and relax as your favorite items are delivered right to your door. Simply amazing. You know what else is amazing? The sweet peeps at Wakozi are treating us New Yorkers to free beer on Thursday night, June 5th at Fontana’s on the Lower East Side. The beer lasts all night, but the freeness is only from 7-9pm. Fred will, as always, be there to keep things cool.
