Happy Birthday to Felix Gonzalez-Torres, who was born on this day in 1957. His sculpture “’Untitled’ (Petit Palais)” is unique in that it has no fixed form and can be configured at the discretion of the installer. It was recently on view in “Into Dust: Traces of the Fragile in Contemporary Art,” where it was strung from the ceiling. How would you choose to display this work?

‘Untitled’ (Petit Palais),” 1992, by Felix Gonzalez-Torres

I used to feel so alone in the city. All those gazillions of people and then me, on the outside. Because how do you meet a new person? I was very stunned by this for many years. And then I realized, you just say, ‘Hi.’ They may ignore you. Or you may marry them. And that possibility is worth that one word.
— Augusten Burroughs (via feints)
