Event producer and DJ Ezra Croft put on an art show in Los Angeles in April titled “Is Nicholas Cage God?” After the show was unsurprisingly a huge success, Croft decided to follow the same formula and will be curating a Bill Murray-themed show in San Francisco this August. The Murray Affair will feature art of […]
American Medium gallery took part in the NEWD Art Show over the weekend. It was a particularly strong selection of work, even if it wasn’t surrounded by the generally beige painterly abyss that is the Bushwick Open Studios sprawl. The highlight of American Medium’s booth is Brenna Murphy’s glyph~garland resonator sculpture, dominating with bright plexiglass and wood objects […]
“Making a living as an artist can be hard,” says WhoPaysArtists.com in the greatest understatement you’ll read today.

In 2012, graffiti writers KET, NOXER, and TRES painted an Inwood wall with a mural that implicitly labeled the NYPD, the Koch Brothers, Halliburton, and a slew of other entities as “murderers.” Unsurprisingly, the police were displeased, and plainclothes officers buffed the wall despite its owner having signed off on the art.

One of my first experiences upon moving to New York was as a volunteer at the 42nd St. Showpaper Gallery. A few blocks from Grand Central Station and across from a ritzy hotel, it was a strange location for a venue that showcased experimental music and video games. It felt like I’d found my secret […]
Future interns, it’s time to start thinking of strange places to put your iPhone: The Jogging, a debatably satirical curated art Tumblr, announced today it will begin paying $15 per hour to contributors who are working at unpaid internships this summer, with the catch that they must complete an accepted post for the blog within the […]
