If you’ve spent any real time on Craiglist you know that it’s mostly just a place to get rid of last year’s Ikea furniture. Occasionally you find something so silly, so poorly written, and so ridiculous that you have to tell someone. Someone is selling a painting on Craigslist for $45,000. Perhaps the only thing more ridiculous […]
For the last installment in his drone art series, Rajeev Basu gives us SLAPADRONE, a series of whimsical bumper stickers to stick on the back of the old family UAV. The series–which includes Drones of New York and the customizable Mr. Drones projects as well) lampoons and raises awareness that commercial drone use becomes legal in the U.S. in 2015. Basu calls SLAPADRONE the “darkest” […]
Remember that nice mini-documentary we posted a few weeks back, which showed Steve Powers painting a mural for the cover of Kurt Vile’s latest album? As The World’s Best Ever points out, there’s also a limited, custom version of the cover with all of ESPO’s art removed put onto individual stickers, so you can rearrange […]
ANIMAL’s feature Artist’s Notebook asks artists to show us their original idea sketch next to a finished piece. This week, Alexandra Gorczynski shows us the process behind her piece Aurora at the TRANSFER gallery’s inaugural show. Process GIF: Process USTREAM PART 1 USTREAM PART 2 “A bit blurry about how long it took, but I think maybe 2.5 days/nights. […]
Bursts of glitches. Clusters of points. Metal, baby. Check out the new video from the Unstoppable Death Machines for “Trial and Error” directed by Scott Cramer. “We used a Kinect with DSLR and RGBD open source software, along with data glitch art,” Mike Tucci tells ANIMAL. “It’s completely digital in its creation, unlike our last video. The […]
Bunny Rogers and Filip Olszewski were very particular about the color of the twin-size vladmodels.ru, Ukranian Nymphets and H.M.M. H.M.M. H.M.M. H.M.M. twin-size blankets. They wanted each in the exact shade of the average pixel color of a source image — each a watermarked photo of suspect-sounding child-modeling agency site. The seamstresses had to embroider the sites’ satiny logos exactly. […]
Last week, iCNN “reported” that the Gagosian Gallery is going to exhibit the work of former president George W. Bush. The dogs. The naked bathroom lamentations. Etc. While the internet murmured with displeasure and incredulity, we reassured you that it wasn’t really happening. Looks like the Great Gagosian Trollage of 2013 isn’t over, for a Facebook page for […]
It’s good to know that visual artist/wooshy-horse-shepard Nick Cave has a good sense of humor. A day after NME confused him for recording artist Nick Cave of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds — YES IT REALLY HAPPENED LOLOLOLOL — this photo was posted on Nick Cave (the artist)’s official Facebook page (and Kriston Capp’s Twitter) […]
If you’ve logged into Facebook during the past few days, you’ve noticed the Human Rights Campaign’s equals-sign-on-red logo making its way into all of your friends profile pictures. This campaign is aimed at bringing awareness to the organization and the topic of marriage equality. And this weed-themed art right here was aimed at getting Willie […]
“We lived together. I wouldn’t really call him my boyfriend. We did have relations but I don’t think that time was about girlfriends and boyfriends. We had multiple girlfriends and boyfriends. Sorry!” Alexis Adler is laughing. Yesterday, ArtInfo reported that Jean-Michel Basquiat’s “ex-girlfriend” had been hiding a trove of previously-unseen artifacts for thirty years in the apartment […]
