The trouble with artists mixing it with
design and fashion is that it gives your signature style an incentive to sneak off
and slum it down in the commodity markets. One day you’re pimping Louis Vuitton,
the next you’re background fodder for a trashy video clip. If you’re up for it
here’s a music video by Nicki Minaj & Cassie performing The Boys. Apart from the Kusama blitz
there are other art references to be spotted – at least a nod to Warhol and that
sure looks like a Turrell roof piece, then there’s the Dali chair and (if one
pink balloon is enough) the start of Creed’s Work Number 329 Pink balloons, a room with balloons talking up half its volumetric space.

pinch) Martin Creed
