THE NEW 2016 FORD GT.

The New Ford GT debuted today at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit to great anticipation. Seeming to touch on visual cues from the road-only Mk III (opinions?), the New (New) Ford GT promises world class performance and construction techniques.  There is also chatter that it could make its competitive debut at this year's LeMans 24 Hours. We think its bloody gorgeous.

Riverbed: Olafur Eliasson | Lousiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark

Olafur Eliasson's take on Louisiana is radical, fascinating and unique. The central work in the first solo exhibition at the museum by the Danish-Icelandic artist is a huge, sitespecific project that reverses the relation between nature and art.
The transitions between inside and outside, culture and staged nature, become fluid and transitory – and the progress of the visitor through the museum becomes a central issue. The exhibition consists of three sections that each thematize the encounter between Eliasson’s art and Louisiana as a place. Transforming the entire South Wing into a rocky landscape, Riverbed, Eliasson focuses on inhabiting space in a new way and inserts new patterns of movement into the museum.--
