Until Milo Manera‘s cover art for “Spider-Woman #1″ dropped last month, many avid comic book readers might not have considered pounding a Spiderperson arched-back doggy-style. Sure, the Amazing Spider Man’s suit is tight, but Spider-Woman is glazed with body paint thin enough to accentuate the deep split of her crack, as she perches in an ass-sharply-up position that has zero tactical value, […]
(UPDATED 1PM) Artist Tom Otterness, whose bulbous and unthreatening public art sculptures appear all over the 14th Street and 8th Avenue subway station and many other places in the city, has repeatedly apologized for shooting a shelter dog for an art project in 1977, when he was 25-years-old. He said that it was a “mistake” which caused him […]
David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest is a notoriously “difficult” book, and one of the last ones to come to mind when you think of books to make in Lego form. Supposedly, the late author told his friend Jonathan Franzen that “the story can’t fully be made sense of.” But an eleven-year-old boy named Sebastian Griffith has […]

Like other major urban centers, the city of St. Louis is teeming with graffiti. Some of it’s amazing, some of it sucks. In between covering the protests in Ferguson, here’s what we came across in a desolate warehouse, at an abandoned train yard, and along a legal (flood) wall on South Wharf Street known as […]
The art world has seen plenty of blatant depictions of genitals, but never quite like this all together. The very popular Cet obscur objet de désir, autour de l’Origine du Monde exhibit going on now at the Courbet Museum in Ornans, France offers a formidable collection of established masterpieces. Guy Cogeval, the president of the d’Orsay and Orangerie museums, spoke fondly […]
Pit bulls get a bad rap and have a hard time getting adopted from New York City shelters. Photographer Sophie Gamand decided to “portray this misunderstood group in a different light” with her series “Flower Power, Pit Bulls of the Revolution.” I realized pit bulls were always portrayed in very urban, gritty photographs. The imagery associated […]
Ways of Seeing (1972) has been sweded by a massive group of digital, new media and web-based artists. Debuting in New York on September 6th, Ways of Something (2014) keeps the original audio track of John Berger’s seminal BBC program, but replaces all visuals with 60-second artworks, reworking the art history doc into relevancy and insanity. “I encouraged the artists to […]
