Today's Art Minute.

It's funny when Life imitates Art. Today in Milan artist Gino De Dominicis unveiled this ginormous sculpture of an exposed skeleton in the Piazzo Reale. It's a fantastic comment on the commercialization of history with a lack of regard for tradition.

In the same school of thought, conservatives in New York are up in arms (pun reverently implied) over a life-size sculpture of Jesus Christ done in chocolate. Artist Cosimo Calallero has entitled his work, "My Sweet Lord". Sacrilege has been cried but one can't help but wonder if the critics are more upset that it's Lent Season and they may have given up chocolate? Or maybe they're peeved as to the sculpture being anatomically correct? And brown? Or maybe they're just bothered as to the Italians being bigger. In general. And privates (pun blatantly inserted) (again).

In the same school house rocking thought Mexican artist Joe Bravo is packing the house with his acryllics on tortilla artwork. Currently visiting Los Angeles with his lunchbox portfolio and dazzling the crowds at the Mexican Cultural Institute. Mr Bravo began working on tortillas as an art student in school when he didn't have money for canvas. I'm ain't shitting you here. Che Gueverra on a tortilla, Christ in Chocolate and Giant bones in Milan; this has got to mean something in the great scheme of things. It may not be the Apocolypse, but it could mean the weekend is nigh.
