It's the perfect week for me: music music music with a hint of art. My two favorite things.

In the midst of all the CMJ craziness, take a moment out of your busy schedules to checkout an amazing panel discussion at the Art Director's Club called Art is Communication - It is the Ability to Manipulate People, which "takes it name from the 1989 quote from world-renowned artist, Jeff Koons, and addresses the projects of emerging artist Yazmany Arboleda creator of The Keller Gates Project."

The Keller Gates Project, which will be on view at the ADC from 10.22 - 10.24.08, is the latest from the artist who stirred up so much controversy and discussion with his The Assassination of Hillary Clinton and The Assassination of Barack Obama shows last Spring.

On the discussion panel: Klaus Biesenbach from MoMA and PS1; Anne Pasternak from Creative Time; Lauren Connell from Rhizome and The New Museum; and Carol Kino art critic from the New York Times.

Quite the panel, I have to say. Anyone who's serious about art won't want to miss this one. Click here for more info on the panel and here for more info on the exhibit.
