No two batteries are identical, CHEESEBURGER SEEMS GOOD however, so one of the clocks will slow down first and fall out of time with the ENOUGH TO EAT—BUT LOOK TWICE! other. Gonzalez-Torres made this work when he found out that his close friend Ross was seriously ill. He knew that, like These juicy burgers might appear to be real, the clocks, he and Ross would eventually but they’re made of thick cloth covered in fall out of sync. His clocks make us think hard painted plaster. They were created by REMAKING THE EVERYDAY Felix Gonzalez-Torres, “Untitled” (Perfect Lovers), 1991 about the strong bonds that exist between Claes Oldenburg, who loves to make Oldenburg has made lots of sculptures based on real people who love each other, and about soft things in hard materials and hard things objects, including lipsticks and tubes of toothpaste. He often experiments with size and materials, once even how the seconds and minutes of all our in soft materials.

Judith Joy Ross 28 29 took the picture as part of a project she carried out at her old school in Pennsylvania. Going back there reminded her of her own childhood, and made her think about how we all change as we grow up. These two sisters may look alike, but there are already many differences between them. How many can you spot?

“When I look at somebody I think about their past and what their future could be, as well as what I’m seeing right now.”

Gabriel Orozco has made an art out of re-imagining games, inventing a billiard table without pockets and a ping- pong game featuring a lily pond. Here, he has created his own version of chess. His board is four times the normal size and uses four colors instead of just black and white. Orozco has also left out all of the pieces except for the knights, or horses, so the usual rules of the game have disappeared. His chessboard is no longer a competitive battlefield but Jeff Koons, Three Ball 50/50 Tank (Two Dr. J. Silver Series, One Wilson Supershot), 1985 Gabriel Orozco, a landscape of the imagination.
