ANIMAL’s feature Artist’s Notebook asks artists to show us their original idea sketch next to a finished piece.

MoMA is launching its first major exhibit of sound art this summer. Finally! The multidisciplinary exhibit will not only focus on sound pieces but also “architectural interventions” and “visualizations of otherwise inaudible sound” as well as explorations “of how sound ricochets within a gallery” and “a range of field recordings—including echolocating bats, abandoned buildings in […]

Hey, girl. ANIMAL’s co-pigeoneer and Vine ally Allison Bagg (sup, Vine?) has made you something real special. Shh! Shh… Don’t say anything. This is what the loop was made for. Introducing: The Ryan Cat. […]
