There are some very old, very beautiful buildings in Manhattan. Over time, brand name businesses have moved in. The contrast is visually jarring. Sometimes, it’s even funny. Here are a few of our favorites. Check back every Friday for a new photo essay. See the photos in the gallery above. (Photos: Aymann Ismail/ANIMALNewYork) […]

Last June, Amsterdam-based interdisciplinary media artist Jonas Lund developed ThePaintshop.biz, a collaborative online platform for creating, buying and selling reasonable algorithm-priced art in real time. Many paintings were made, though not so many were sold–only about three of 3,500. In an effort to reach a wider market, to extend beyond the standard art collector type milieu, he […]

Catch Wonderwoman with her pants down, see Spiderman get really into dental hygiene and peep some hot hero on hero action in this series of posters by Greg Guillemin. Private moments. Big personalities. Voyeuristic crops. And they’re all for sale. Because waking up to Batman and Robin macking on your wall is an em-super-powering experience. […]

The colossal, the minuscule  the electric, the organic. They are the same. Something about fractals? Mind… blown. The duos assembled by Infinity Imagined should give you feelings, deep feelings of being one of a whole and […]

This is the Orda Cave, the biggest underwater crystal cave in the world in Perm, Russia. On the day of this mystical photo-shoot with the two-times free diving world champion Natalia Avseenko, it was -32.8F outside. The water was a brisk 41 F. Nice face, Natalia. Very stoic… considering you’re floating in ice slushy. It’s so cold here, […]

ANIMAL favorite Rollin Leonard brings his group show “Parcel” to the Bronx this weekend. The traveling show’s conceit of keeping art shipping costs to a minimum bred a theme — all art is made of small parts — “bits & pieces put together to present a semblance of a whole” — folds flat and fits into cardboard tubes, including this GIGANTIC pile of MONEY by Anthony […]

Our favorite London-based miniature installation artist Slinkachu has kicked off the new year with a little souvenir he left in Moscow’s Gorky Park. His latest piece titled “Stroll,” much like it’s predecessors, was left subtly around. Also, it was “crushed” and “bleeding” inside a human footprint, which is all the well as it is 30°F in Moscow right […]

In Martin Adolfsson’s photos, what looks like a real estate listing or furniture catalog photograph is actually something very different. Adolfsson has been shooting suburban model homes–those prefab facades made famous by Arrested Development–for the past six years, around the world in an effort to “describe the economic and cultural homogenization that is now occurring […]
