From today’s Washington Post Reliable Source:
Monopoly Money Talks, and It Says the Case of the Collector Isn’t Closed
Uh-oh. Remember “The Collector,” who last year absconded from the Artomatic show with Tim Tate ‘s glass sculpture and returned it in a midnight Monopoly money ransom drop on the Mall? (No? Well, those were some crazy times. Look it up.)
Anyway, he’s resurfaced. We received a letter (with $1,500 Monopoly cash) promising “something interesting on the 4th floor,” in particular something “on the 12th.” Well, we don’t have a 12th floor; June 12, maybe? Any ideas, send to reliablesource@washpost.com. The folks at Artomatic, currently running through June 15, report nothing awry. Tate, who has a pricier work in this year’s show, got nervous when we told him about the letter. “I’m going to sit out there in a lawn chair and guard it,” he warned.
The Stitch-n-Bitch is on the 12th floor today from 5:30 – 8:30. I’ll be sure someone keeps an eye on that crowd. No telling what they could be up to…
Roger and I want people to take sunflower seeds from our installation on the 12th floor.
i didn’t know AOM was having a stich & bitch.
well crap.
Every Wednesday, you can still join us. I think I emailed you yesterday, but my brain has been stolen and replaced with a processed cheese product so I can no longer be certain….
cheese product eh? I got jell-o in mine. not really a good combination I’m afraid. I’ll bring the crackers and spoons.
