Hairballs: Not content to stick with established art-world venues, guerrilla artist Robbie Conal has created his latest statement, “Between Iraq and a Hard Place,” to hang in “a place with a certain populous romance”--a Pasadena hair salon. The drawing will go on view Tuesday at the Museum of Hair in Pasadena’s Old Town section to mark the United Nations’ Jan. 15 midnight deadline. The work depicts George Bush surrounded by Saddam Hussein on one side and Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson on the other. “It’s about the precedence in our recent history for getting ourselves into war--and the way (this situation) reminds me of how we got into Vietnam,” said Conal. His drawing will be shown through March 3.
