The art industry switches brushes for Gangnam style.
It was already huge. From Eton boys to Britney Spears, everyone's had a go at the loveably goofy dance routine. A quick update: it's YouTube ratings have now hit 780 million making it the second most viewed YouTube video ever and Psy, the South Korean pop artist, has become a global icon. But no one's adopted the horse-move quite like the art world.
Two art giants have made their own parody.
Art Review's 'most powerful artist in the world', Ai Weiwei, created a version with himself and his team last month, drawing attention to the injustices in his home-country, China, by swinging handcuffs. Last year he was placed in secret detention for 81 days, allegedly due to his online activism.
The 55-year-old's video was pulled off the internet in China.
Now, the renowned sculptor Anish Kapoor (who also designed the Orbit tower in the Olympic Park), has posted his own video to continue Ai Weiwei's message of freedom and endorse Amnesty International.
Major museums are behind them.
The video features appearances from staff at the MoMA, Guggenheim, Smithsonian, Serpentine Gallery, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Brooklyn Museum, Whitney Museum of American Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art and New Museum. And briefly the Channel 4 news team.
They're for a good cause.
Holding a sign reading "Stand together for human rights," Kapoor has used the fun fad as a symbol for freedom of expression and human rights.
They're fun too.
Watching art crews do the cheesy dance is a classic.
