Lawrence Argent’s "I See What You Mean" at the Convention Center - Kevin Moloney NY Times The NY Times Kirk Johnson takes some time out to prep DNC conventioneers on "Denver’s Unconventional Art, Ready for the Convention." From the article: "The Yearling," by Donald Lipski, comes [...] with a deeply cockeyed vision that Denver has come to call its own in recent years as the art scene here has blossomed with a confidence that the cow town of Colorado’s past never knew. The sculpture, originally created for a New York City school site but acquired by Denver in 1998, is now seen by many residents and visitors as a perfect vision of the New West, or perhaps the Old West turned upside down — more "Big Lebowski" than "Stagecoach”" — because of the pony’s gasp-inducing shift of scale and context. He stands, proud and muscular and fully life-sized, atop a giant straight-back classroom chair: the wild young creature as schoolboy.I don't know which of the Lebowski's Johnson is talking about, must be Fluxist Maude, but as I see it, the Dude is grimacing as Walter sings the "Branded" theme song while they both drive through tumbleweeds toward Luiz Jimenez' Mustang!
