ANIMAL’s feature Artist’s Notebook asks artists to show us their original idea sketch next to a finished piece. This week, street artists The Yok and Sheryo give us a behind-the-scenes look into their new piece at 5 Pointz. The idea was inspired by our recent travels through Asia. The wall is part of a new body of […]
BNJMN’s work is minimal and meditative–a bit like Franz Kline without all the drama, or RETNA’s deconstructed letterforms. In the below mini-documentary, one observer describes the painter’s oeuvre as “[provoking] a lot of emotions–sometimes it’s anger, sometimes it’s happiness or calmness.” “[He is] an artist in control of himself but not of the art that […]
Last week, I uploaded ANIMAL’s photos from the amazing F.A.T. Gold 5-Year Retrospective opening at Eyebeam Art+Technology Center to our Facebook account and got us locked out. I’m so sorry that I didn’t think twice about uploading installation shots of Addie Wagenknecht and Pablo Garcia‘s Venus Webcam — a screen capture of the artists directing amateur xxx webcam performers to […]

She is now the second official collector to acquire a Vine from the Shortest Video Ever Sold! #SVAES project and there will be others. She has […]
Back in mid-February, billionaire Russian oligarch (and Chelsea Football Club owner), Roman Abromavich, set tongues wagging when he docked his super luxury yacht, the 533-ft Eclipse, at Pier 90, on Manhattan’s West Side. By tonight, it will have cast off to another pier and then back towards billionaire wonderland, from whence it came, according to […]
We just can’t fully accept that these aren’t real, living, stinking fish. Singapore-based Keng Lye created a series of three-dimensional sea creatures — “Alive Without Breath” — by painstakingly layering epoxy resin and acrylic paint in various containers. This technique was invented last year by a different artist, Riusuke Fakahori, but Lye takes things to […]
“We exist within a built environment that is constantly mediated by the grid.” This Saturday night, Brooklyn’s net art gallery Transfer is holding the anticipated opening for artist A. Bill Miller’s “Gridworks,” combining “coldness and rationality of the grid confronts the warmth and playfulness of the human touch” with a series of new ASCII-based works. His visuals […]
