Tomorrow night, we’re throwing a party! With DJs! And video art projections! And a burlesque performance! And dancing! You should come. G1RLZ NI†E has amassed a great line-up of visual artists. We were going for selfie and net-based projections as a pop-up art experiment co-opting a club aesthetic… and we ended up curating a show. Oops. ･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ#GIRLZNITE FEATURED ARTISTS […]
After a triumphant overturn of the Cariou vs. Prince last week — a.k.a. the End of Copyright as We Know It (or something like that; it’s too early to tell; calm the fuck down) — Richard Prince must surely be pleased. First of all, he’s off the hook for appropriating (almost) all those Rasta photographs. Second […]
You may remember New York artist David Livingston from the time he hilariously dragged a giant, pink, soft, stuffed penis into the New Museum and the other time he hilariously dragged a giant, striped, soft, stuffed penis all over the Supreme Court steps. And now, here’s a brand spankin’ new thing he just uploaded to Vimeo: […]
ANIMAL loves hot new video art. This Tuesday, we’re throwing a party with SDR PRSNTS at the D-L, because why not. So, what is this? G1RLZ NI†E is a dance + video art party celebrating fresh video art by local artists. It’s a shamelessly feminine pop-up art experience co-opting a club aesthetic. Come see selfie and net-based works […]
The Jogging’s group show at the commercial printing space Baboo may have seemed like a joke at first, but instead it serves as proof that some artists are able to make smart work under any circumstances. The Jogging is a loose group of contemporary artists including Brad Troemel — a collective that brought us vacuum sealed JAMES FRANCO […]
Isn’t 3D-printing nifty as hell? Soon, we’ll be 3D-printing on the atomic level. Artist Shane Hope foreshadows hacking organic matter with his series “Nano-Nonobjective-Oriented Ontographs,” “Qubit-Built Quilts,” “Post-Scarcity Percept-Pus Portraits” and “Scriptable-Scalable Species-Tool-Beings.” Using molecular modeling research software, crafts custom code and algorithms, Hope creaties sculptural canvases of erupted, scrambled, bubbling atomic structures. Some look like tumorous day-glo Rothkos. A standout: The bursting Malevich square-type. […]
Brooklyn-based artist and designer Michael J. Silber created Kaleidopope, which is exactly what you think it is. From Francis and Benedict on back, the Kaleidopope takes generation upon generation of His Tripiness and sends them into an abstracted swirl. Here’s what Silber has to say: KaleidoPope is an hypnotic interactive kaleidoscope. I composed a photo […]
South African art champs have united again. Since shock rave-rap duo Die Antwoord’s art roots were uncovered, it’s not surprising Harmony Korine was all over that, but no collaboration makes more sense than Die Antwoord and Roger Ballen, as immortalized in the “Finks U Freeky” music video. If someone punches you in the face fokken hard, it makes you stop thinking […]
Using an XY Plotter, a few LED lights and a laboriously programmed Arduino microprocessor, artist Stephen Cartwright has created a series of long exposure photos based on his own exact GPS-location data since 1999. Since the inception of Cartwright’s latitude and longitude recording project, he has searched for appropriate ways to visualize this massive collection of data […]
Dramatic fair use art news!!! Rewind: In 2008, artist Richard Prince “Canal Zone” series incorporated the photographs of Patrick Cariou from his “Yes, Rasta” (2002) book for a successful, lucrative show at the Gagosian Gallery. Cariou sued from copyright infringement. In 2011, the court ruled against Prince and order the artist to destroy catalogue copies […]
