Hell, Yes!

That sign sort of grosses me out. Though, it's good to see that it is from 2001 and not this year. The nostalgia factor must be the gross out part. My childhood hair clips arranged into a hip/cynical saying that everyone can point at and say "hey cool.." Don't "hey cool" my hair clips. Is that why I am grossed out? Maybe it is also all the money involved, and jealousy of the money supplied to build giant stupid things that look like they are just whims.

Oh my god I wish I had money.

I am happy that you can attach things to the outside. The New Yorker review of the building had no mention of that at all. It makes the mesh thing seem nearly useful.

Isn't that point of art to produce things at a whim. most art is at a whim and most of the time has no practicality, WTF are you talking about any ways. Why would such things gross you out. I could see if perhaps you were a homophobe and associated rainbows with homosexuals, but aside from that it is just a sign that says "hell yes!". Get a grip!

It might be because I'm, like, totally a rainbow fruit ball. But, I dig this a lot.

HELL YES!

This is awesome. Random, but awesome.

Having so much money that you can build ridiculous signs that say "hell yes!" in giant rainbow letters is completely and utterly awesome. Even better that someone with money would have the idea to do it. Utilitarianism and contempt of money are pretty socialist traits if you ask me. When was the last time utility produced great art?

"Having so much money that you can build ridiculous signs that say "hell yes!" in giant rainbow letters is completely and utterly awesome. " Not really, it'd be far more interesting if such a thing was constructed in clandestine and illegal ways..ala...http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=cost+revs&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi

I do find it a bit sad that they couldn't find something NEW to put on the outside of this New Museum of CONTEMPORARY Art. That's my biggest issue with it. Art can be silly, whimsical or even stupid, I suppose. But you'd think they could have actually put something contemporary up. Sad, not happy or new. (annoyed artist and native new yorker)

I visited this museum in its first week of opening, yes it looks good from the outside, and has some interesting design features inside, however the very first exhibition seriously let it down, a mish mash of collage and sculpture. Why does contemporary art often look like pieces of rubbish stuck together?

there was a good view from the study room however...

SHABBA!
