Thomas P. Campbell has been named the new director and chief executive of the Met. Formerly the curator of tapestries, Mr. Campbell will have the daunting task of replacing the legendary Philippe de Montebello, who will be retiring after 31 years. Known for his blockbuster tapestry shows, it will be exciting to see what Mr. Campbell has in store.
Harley Spiller has curated a nice show up now at apexart. SCRAWL brings together numerous found messages collected from public places throughout the city since 1985. All of your anti-politics and anti-religious rants can be found, as well as humorous, off-the-wall notes completely out of their context. The clean, sparseness of the show’s presentation interacts nicely with the inherent roughness and grittiness of the work.

I’m pretty into Slinkachu right now. Learn more about him here.

Vik Muniz always has pretty interesting yet enjoyable work. His new show at Sikkema Jenkins should prove the same. For Verso, Muniz photographed the backs of several famous works of art, including “Les Demoiselles d’Avingon”, “Starry Night” and “La Grande Jatte”. He then reproduced these objects into 3-dimensional trompe-l’oeils in which “every scratch, dent or scribble is physically reproduced to photographic precision”. I’m looking forward to it.

Candy Chang is an amazing artist, and person in general. Keep track of what she is up to here.
I’m so excited for Chelsea to re-open for the season. And Cecily Brown’s show at Gagosian is not a bad way to start.

Sotheby’s will hold an auction of new Damien Hirst work on September 15 and 16 in London. It hopes to fetch $130 million. According to Hirst, he chose to sell his work through an auction house rather than through a gallery because “the world is changing”. Indeed.
