Artist Ryan Gander is entering into the world of fashion, collaborating with Tokyo-based firm A.Four Labs. The British artist has created a starry pattern which will be used to create jackets, scarves, and t-shirts for the upcoming menswear line. The design is a familiar one — it appeared previously in Gander’s work, specifically The Universe as […]
This recent series of GIFs by artist Anthony Antonellis is pretty perfect. See flattened collages of melting flesh quivering inside almost-familiar shapes of hand-held devices. (Hand-held “hands”?) It’s lightly reminiscent of old body-horror Cronenberg (or new Cronenberg Jr.!) but clean and crisp. Ahhh. […]
ANIMAL is a bit obsessed with this new Tumblr project from Derek Frech and Alison Feldish that presents two similar art works side by side. WhoWoreItBetter.Info is addictive. It’s incredible how works decades and continents apart have striking resemblances. It’s depressing how works not decades and continents apart have striking resemblances. We asked the creators about their motivations. Where the […]

“#FUTUREMYTH” opens tonight at Brooklyn’s tech-minded art gallery 319 Scholes. Playing off the Jung concept that “the collective unconscious is a conditioned state,” the exhibit focuses on “meta-realities” created in the “communal space of the internet.” 319 Scholes curatorial director Lindsay Howard tells ANIMAL that most of the works have been specifically made for this […]
There’s a distinctly modern aesthetic preoccupation with abandoning strict narrative in favor of immersive sensory experience. Think of the films of Harmony Korine, or the drop-heavy electronic dance music that’s currently en vogue, which shuns the long, slow builds of previous genres and embraces isolated tableaux of overwhelming sound (there’s a reason Skrillex showed up […]
One reason that human beings create art — whether literary, musical, or visual — is to better understand the world that we live in and how we perceive it. But what happens when that world is suddenly turned upside-down and nothing follows the rules? Struck by an ear disorder that threw his sense of reality out of […]
Jayson Musson, I <3 you. The New York artist’s “Hennessy Youngman” persona aka YouTube’s best art critic is back with a hot new mixtape that recreates the experience of lonely shopping at CVS. Presenting: “CVS Bangers.” CVS BANGERS IS THE AUDIOSCAPE FOR WHEN YOU’RE BUYING TAMPONS OR A 12 PACK OF CONDOMS, A SAMPLING OF THOSE […]
Artists Evan Roth (F.A.T., Graffiti Research Lab, Eye-Writer) and Geoffrey Lillemon (holy shit look at his website) teamed up for a new project, Image-of-Edessa. Image-of-Edessa explores the notion of worship, the Internet and identity. A portrait is rendered entirely of animated gifs, a medium native to the web and commonly used to represent self in the form of […]
I’ve been desperately trying not to comment on Amanda Bynes, seeing as celebrity meltdowns are nothing new or particularly interesting, however… I want @drake to murder my vagina — Amanda Bynes (@AmandaBynes) March 22, 2013 At this point, I’m convinced that what Amanda Bynes has been doing on Twitter and in public is purely intentional. It may very […]
