of Favre's career as a Green Bay startera pulsating monument to,
among other things, perfect attendance."

planned by Mr. Laun, called "The Favre Era Video Cyclorama..."

Wisconsin native envisions
Favre's games streak as high art
By Sean Schultz, May 31, 2004
"...Laun
sees his concept ... as "a monument to celebrate Favre's accomplishments
and the whole era." It's a monument, too, to kids like Laun, the
Kiel boy who grew up, like thousands of other Wisconsinites, reserving
Sunday afternoons and Monday nights for Packers games..."

The Williamsburg Art Crawl
by Keane A. Pepper, May 2004
"Laun also has [made] the ultimate
shrine to Brett Farve planned that only a cheesehead could truly understand...
The small installation proposal is so absurdly serious that it should
probably happen... It's just so goddamned strange and unpretentious that
it works wonderfully."

"There are more Green
Bay Packers fans in New York than many people would care to admit. Brooklyn-based
artist Tim Laun is one of those fans‹but he wasn't content to just watch
the games. He's created a multimedia shrine to Packers star quarterback
Brett Favre that he hopes will one day be installed at the Hall of Fame.
The exhibit's centerpiece is a continuous, 360-degree video display of
Favre's record-breaking [200+] consecutive games. It's not just about
football, though‹at its heart the shrine deals with consumerism, obsession
and all those other arty things as well."

Art Guide, by Holland Cotter
"...Conceptually, Mr. Laun's point of view
is small-town verging on cosmic."
