On Thursday of next week, the
Brooklyn Museum will host its annual gala event, the
Brooklyn Ball, which this year celebrates the museum's pooling of its costume collections with the Metropolitan Museum. The centerpiece of the building-wide bash will be food art by
Jennifer Rubell (who was also behind the spectacular spread at the
Performa kick-off last fall), including but not limited to: drinking paintings (?), suspended melting cheeseheads, and edible goodies packed inside a 20-foot piñata in the shape of Andy Warhol's head (pictured). Warhol, incidentally, will be the subject of the BK Museum's major
summer show. I hope the piñata turns out to be full of
Brillo soap boxes. (
