A day after rolling out his “Sirens of the Lambs” truck, Banksy gets back to stenciling and strikes theological overtones with the newest piece in his ongoing series. It’s called “Concrete Confessional” and is located within a concrete block on 7th Street off of Cooper Square in the East Village, right across the street from […]
According to The Guardian, the Museum of Modern Art has acquired a collection of prints curated by the Booklyn Artists Alliance entitled the “Occuprint Portfolio.” It is a collection of silk-screened artists’ prints by Occupy protesters like Molly Crabapple, Jesus Barraza and John Emerson, among many others.

I’m not so great with names but I never forget a face, neither does Facebook with its automatic tagging for newly uploaded face-images. But what if you don’t want to be recognized in last night’s drunk and shameful party photo? Too bad. In an effort to subvert this fact of #life, designer Simone C. Niquille has […]
The New Museum smelled like gasoline, and I didn’t mind one bit. Before the public opening of Chris Burden’s exhibition “Extreme Measures” the press got a preview of the work and the live performance of The Big Wheel. Occupying all five floors of the museum, the exhibition marks the first expansive presentation of Burden’s groundbreaking works […]

Someone on Tumblr is rendering iconic photographs in Play-Doh. You can find them at photographsrenderedinplaydoh.tumblr.com. They’re quiet doting and expressive. From Play-Doh remixes of Grace Jones’ mesmerizing Jean Paul Goude-stretched form to that irritating kid with the grenade by Diane Arbus, this ardent renderer appears to be on a roll and even takes requests! I just […]
Earlier this year, the Shortest Video Art Ever Sold! project at the Moving Image Contemporary Video Art Fair in New York made a few headlines with the world’s first Vine sale (Shout out Angela Washko!) Ok, so there was a hacking of Vine involved, but the exciting part in the long-run is the ongoing conversation of a micro-collecting community and the work that artists […]
Artist and activist Steve Lambert’s traveling piece Capitalism Works For Me! is a large illuminated sign and a voting podium. You vote “yes” or “no” on whether capitalism works for you and the results are tallied and displayed on the sign — in real time. Today, it was installed in Times Square, on Broadway between 46th […]
