Kicking off Friday at Chelsea\u2019s\u00a0FLAG Art Foundation<\/a>\u00a0is Size DOES Matter, a collection of 66 works of art across different media, aimed at highlighting how scale affects perception. So who better to tap for curating the show than 7-foot-1\u00a0Cleveland Cavalier<\/a>\u00a0center and art collector Shaquille O\u2019Neal, who wears a size 22 shoe?<\/p>\n

Included in the show,\u00a0according to the Post,<\/a>\u00a0are pieces like \u201cRobert Therrien’s colossal sculpture of a table and six chairs\u201d and \u201cRon Mueck’s \u2018Untitled (Big Man),\u2019 a nearly 7-foot-tall sculpture of a naked, bald man curled up awkwardly, elbows resting on his knees\u201d (pictured). There are also a few works that take O\u2019Neal himself as the subject, such as\u00a0Willard Wigan<\/a>\u2019s portrait of the player that\u2019s so tiny, it fits in the eye of a needle.<\/p>\n

The exhibition \u2013 whose catalogue includes an essay by Cleveland native\/author\/Oprah whipping boy\u00a0James Frey<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 runs February 19 through May 27, 2010.<\/p>\n
