As noted in the recent Turrell post, I spent a few days in Las Vegas in the beginning of March. In the lobby of the Cosmopolitan Hotel (where there are some GREAT restaurants, by the way), I saw this little repurposed cigarette machine. Now, instead of packs of smokes, it delivers little packs of art. Adorable! I didn't take the plunge and buy anything. I probably should have just to see it work. If this isn't too hipster/Bohemian chic, I'd love to see this in Pittsburgh somewhere. Maybe PGH Photo should install one at the fair with the work of local artists available inside. Or, even better, maybe the Carnegie should have one year round!!
