Extreme Measures

Chris Burden: Extreme Measures, now on at the New Museum, is definitely worth seeing. Spread throughout the 5 floors of the museum, the show is superbly curated. Well done Lisa Philips and the New Museum!

My highlights were definitely: A Tale of Two Cities, 1981, two miniature cities with toys, plants, sand and unexpected stuff; All the Submarines of the United States of America, 1987, consisting of 625 identical, handmade, miniature cardboard submarines; and L.A.P.D. Uniforms, 1993, including  Berretta handguns!
