Eric Vermilion Plays the Coat Check Chimes
4:14
Eric Vermillion was recorded in the lobby of the Whitney Museum of American Art on Saturday, March 22, 2008.
When is a coat rack not a coat rack?*
Eric Vermillion, one of the Whitney’s many fabulous guards, gave me my own partly private tour of Mungo Thomson’s sublimely fabulous “Coat Check Chimes”. I won’t say any more than that but Blake Gopnik of the Washington Post wrote a lovely review of the piece, which I highly recommend if you want to know more (scroll down to the last section).
*When the “polymorphous, bastard conceptualist”** Mungo Thomson has had his way with it.
