Little finch rocks out on guitar in Celeste Boursier-Mougenot's sound installation at the Barbicon Centre

French artist and composer Celeste Boursier-Mougenot has Zebra Finches in an aviary with an amped guitar.  The little birds play it and one flies a twig up to play the strings.

If I was in London, I'd check it out: Barbican Centre

Art show, FIGURE ONE in DUMBO for first THs this week - See me at Giacobetti Paul Gallery

I have a handful of paintings and a few drawings at the show.  I'll show a couple that I've had, but a few of the paintings are so new they're sticky.  I'm totally geeking out that I'm having a show in NYC.  I helped take down the last show, UNDERGROWTH, when I dropped off the stuff last night to hang for the opening this Thursday.  I loved standing on the loading dock across from the enormous Brooklyn Bridge strut moving a big art installation.  That neighborhood is spectacular.  I know people bag on DUMBO, I can see the pure bred spensive dogs and shit too, but it's so pretty I love it.   If you can make it to the show, we'll be heading out for drinks after somewhere around the corner.  I'll tweet where we are.

If you look at the painting in the show, I've taken out one of the hands.
