The Times has a pretty provincial ‘gee whiz’ piece (used to enter his house through a window! so kooky! ) on an installation by Rudolf Stingel, ‘Plan B’, opening in the Vanderbilt Hall at Grand Central Terminal this week (July 1). Lasting throughout July, it consists of 27,000 square feet of carpet, derived from a stock pattern (Stingel refers to his work as painting). A companion 7,500 square feet are being displayed by the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. Holiday travel will likely obviate our ability to see it firsthand until mid-month, so we’ll hold off on the ‘I don’t know art, but I know what I like’ incredulity until we actually see it.

Called on the carpet.
