Really enjoying the bubblegum discussion. I guess you could say that it is giving us "something to chew on". Nyuk nyuk.

Did anyone else make my mistake of initially thinking the piece was a pink mouse pad "freebie"? (luckily I "caught the scent" before tearing off the wrapper!) I hesitate to chew the piece, fearing a toxic ink may have been used in the "embossing" of the design (this from a guy who from time to time merrily dissolves those starch-based shipping "peanuts" in his mouth to the horror/disgust of his staff) Anyway, I figure that either Paul McCarthy or we art librarians are finally "on the bubble" Phil Heagy Menil Collection Library 1511 Branard St. Houston, TX 77006 PH: (713) 525-9426 FAX: (713) 525-9444 e-mail: [log in to unmask] __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] Administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner (Kerri Scannell) at: [log in to unmask] __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] Administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner (Kerri Scannell) at: [log in to unmask]
