In preparation for his solo show in Los Angeles, artist Jonathan Paul/Desire Obtain Cherish created a series of giant sculptures. Designer luxury drugs. Get it? Get it? It’s like Tom Sachs and Damien Hirst had a baby. In a Duke’s sorority house bathroom. […]
“It’s a trade show.” “It’s makes me feel really gross.” “It’s trophy day.” That’s a focus group of New York’s most respected art critics, PhDs, organizers and agents of creative institutions talking about the 100th Armory Show. It demystifies the reasons why some of us feel a disconnect strolling between hundreds of art pieces in […]

Also featured in the series are some mouth-watering platters of ornately garnished horse hooves, fish […]

Oscar López Rocha‘s animation Synesthetic Locked, is a glitchy, screechy, 3D-ish stereoscopic simulation thereof, a dizzying RGB web of weird associations. […]
