A little while ago, ANIMAL took a trip to the Catskills and took over a motel transforming four of the rooms into non-traditional pop-up art experiences in a series of videos for Lincoln Now! For our most collaborative mini-installation, we worked with an experimental tech crew that made it possible for a violinist and an artist to […]
Every year, My Famicase Exhibition asks artist and designers to imagine Nintendo Entertainment System games that never were, then create the cartridge art for those games. This year’s entries are absolutely gorgeous, and many sound like games you’d actually want to play. In Children, by Cory Schmitz, kids of the future run amok because their parents are addicted to […]
A little while ago, ANIMAL took a trip to the Catskills and took over a motel transforming four of the rooms into non-traditional pop-up art experiences in a series of videos for Lincoln Now! We found ourselves in a region home to the plot of Washington Irving’s Rip Van Winkle. Veteran graffiti writer Faust was inspired to reference this by […]
Frieze Art Fair is the best trip to a luxury pop-up shopping mall a press pass can buy! Maybe it was the illusion of travel from the ferry ride to Randall’s Island or the un-warehouse quality of that giant, billowing, sun-streaked white tent, but the art was very enjoyable. Here some highlights. First, Beom Kim’s […]
Last night, someone went over COPE2‘s still-in-progress Bowery Wall with the word “snitch,” painting it in black fire-extinguisher lettering. When we arrived at the wall this morning, the writer was on a scissor lift fixing the work while iconic photographer Martha Cooper took photos. COPE2 appeared unfazed by the ragging. “It ain’t no thing,” he […]
Notorious graffiti bomber and artist COPE2 has begun painting the Bowery Wall, following Maya Hayuck’s takeover. The Bronx-born writer hopes to be finished by Tuesday and told ANIMAL that he didn’t sketch anything out and was planned on freestyling the whole thing. Here’s what it looked like as of 3pm today.

A depressing new development in Bushwick gentrification, Art F City reports: The loft space 1717 Troutman, which housed artist-run galleries on the border of Bushwick and Ridgewood, has asked all its tenants to leave and cease operating as galleries immediately. The space attracted attention in part because of its curation, which was a step above the […]
Ekaterinburg-based artist Tima Radya’s installations have always stood out — from his fiery wall pieces referencing literature, to his “YOU WERE FUCKED” billboard installed after the “re-election” of Putin, to his sculpture pyramid of riot shields installed with a crew dressed as police agents. It’s no wonder that a few art objects that he is currently offering on his website for donations are […]
On May 15th at a warehouse in Downtown Los Angeles, Superchief Gallery is having a grand opening of their new location. They’re still staying in the Lower East Side and throwing pop up art shows and BBQs in Brooklyn all summer. But they’ve driven a truck load of art across the country, so LA gets to […]
Kara Walker’s A Subtlety or the Marvelous Sugar Baby is not subtle. Dusted with 40 tons of bleached sugar, it stands nearly four stories high and lays 75 and a half feet long across the gutted cavern of the Domino Sugar Factory, which will soon to destroyed and replaced with a glossy condo complex. The New Yorker called the work, unsubtly, “Mammy-as-Sphnix.” […]
