I love Paul McCarthy.

While known mostly for his works that have condiments standing in for #1, #2, and, of course, blood and that other white stuff that half the world excretes, McCarthy also creates architectural pieces that challenge our perception, such as Paul McCarthy: Central Symmetrical Rotation Movement Three Installations, Two Films, which opens at the Whitney on 06.26.08.

"The show focuses on a core strand of McCarthy's work: the use of architecture to create perceptual disorientation in the viewer through spinning mirrors, rotating walls, projections, and altered space. In Spinning Room (2008), first conceived in 1971, but being realized for the first time for this show, live images of viewers are rotated and projected onto double-sided screens that appear infinitely reflected on four surrounding mirrored walls, enclosing the viewer in a wildly disorienting space. In Mad House (2008), being created for this show, a room spins disconcertingly on its axis."

Checkout the Whitney's site for more info and checkout this piece called The Box from 2001.

Don't forget to checkout other work by McCarthy like these inflatable sculptures Blockhead and Daddies Bighead, this page of unsettling videos, and a video of his Peter Paul Chocolate Factory exhibit (where they made the Santa Claus buttplugs) at Maccarone this past holiday season.

This guy is fucked. I'd love to meet his parents.
