Breaking News! Michel Gondry Gets a Box!

Someone at The Onion most certainly saw Michel Gondry's recent exhibit at Dietch Gallery: "Michel Gondry Entertained For Days By New Cardboard Box" is one of the more on-target goofy pieces from the funnymen in quite some time.

Sayeth The Onion: "This particular medium is wonderful to work in because of its limitless possibility," Gondry said from his curled-up position inside the box. "I'm working at the bubble factory right now, but later I'm going to go bobsledding down a rainbow."

AND: "Richard Lovett, president of Creative Artists Agency, which represents Gondry, said that where others only see an empty cardboard box, Gondry sees the opportunity for distinct artistic expression with commercial viability."

"Thanks to Michel, cardboard is hot," Lovett said. "Cardboard boxes are in. When you see Michel Gondry with a cardboard box, you want to green-light that."
