“Misunderstanding Focus” is a very clean series of portraits from Japanese collaborators Hiiroshi Manaka and Yoshiharu Ota, aka Nerhol. Nerhol shot continuous photographs of each subject for three minutes, instructing them to stay as still as you can but they can’t. They fucked up. They moved, a little bit. The slightly different portraits were then cut and stacked in a […]

Fresh off of plastering the faces of New Yorkers and tourists alike all over Times Square, JR took to a location that’s decidedly more in keeping with his best-known work. The French street artist traveled to Rikers Island over the weekend to put his trademark large-scale wheatpasted photo posters on the prison’s walls. We’ve already […]
Happy 195th Birthday, Karl Marx! The artist Ottmar Hörl made you a present — 500 of them. These three-foot-tall Karls-gnome-hybrids in clusters all over Trier in west Germany, where Marx was born.

Refresher: Leah McSweeney has been using the parody of the Supreme logo for her “Supreme Bitch” t-shirts for years and now, James Jebbia of Supreme is only now […]

VIRTUAL GRRL presents, www.VVVVVV.xxx — freshly premiered, just in time for the National Masturbation Month. Navigate the familiar landscape of a porn portal and get baited into right onto animated GIFs, cyberpoetry, lecture videos, and mesmerizing miscellany. I’ve been wandering around it’s pop-up […]
Your va-jay-jay called! It wants to talk about anarcho-syndicalism. This Tumblr is amazing. While you may never be able to leaf through the pages of Cosmarxpolitan to learn the dirty deets of mega-babe Antonio Gramsci’s sex life, or why Kropotkin thinks anarchism is the new black (it so is), these first seven mock-covers will provide […]
Many have tried to get their crotch recognized for the inspiring piece of art that it is, but now, artist Karen Finley will make that happen for you. But you have to send her sexts. And money. In conjunction with the New Museum’s “NYC 1993: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star” exhibit, Karen Finley presents “Sext Me if You Can” […]
What’s this? More breaking Van Gogh news? You don’t say. Serious researcher bros have been picking at Vincent’s pigments with an electron microscope and an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, deducing that the famous dead artist was using chemically unstable red paint.
