Monkeying around

Things_v

Last fall, Stefan Sagmeister printed each of the words in "Everybody always thinks they are right" on six giant inflatable monkeys and then put them in each of Scotland's six major cities. Now that installation—and nine more like it—is pictured in Things I Have Learned in My Life So Far, opening today. The show also includes a new work made from 10,000 bananas, which will change meaning as the fruits ripen and then rot. So what does the artist have planned for an encore? "Well, it's slow going," he says of finding new inspiration. "As I get older, I seem to learn less and less."
Things I Have Learned in My Life So Far, today through Feb. 23, Deitch Projects, 76 Grand St., (212) 343-7300, deitch.com
