BRENDAN CASS was selected by the Calvin Klein group to install some of his ‘I LOVE NY’ paintings in their flagship store for the “WHERE FASHION MEETS ART” event, last April 2005. Brendan Cass and his Calvin Klein installation, was by far the best presentation on Madison Ave that evening.. apparently an acccurate & prescient indicator of the now much acclaimed fashion forward outlook, and design intelligence, of the man picked to succeed Calvin Klein, FRANCISCO COSTA.

The URS FISCHER, wondrous ‘BREAD HOUSE’ installation, part of his FEB 2005 exhibit, ‘Fig, Nut & Pear’ at Gavin Brown’s enterprise,
was featured on the artlovers home page:
July 7, 2005.

The BREAD HOUSE, which also was to become a BIRD HOUSE, was life-size and occupied
the first room. It underwent many transformations, man-made, and organic,
during the life-span of the exhibit.
In other gallery rooms, there were large paintings, and a life-size robot-type,
mechanized female, blonde haired, half-figure.
