It seems once an element of pop culture is aged enough, curators deem it worthy of the museum. In 2010, Seattle Art Museum mounted “Kurt,” a completely serious exhibition on “Seattle’s greatest cultural export,” Kurt Cobain. Last week, Pac-Man and other arcade games opened at the MoMA. It’s been over a decade since MTV stopped […]
“My pussy is a maze. My pussy is a mirror.” This cray DIY music video was made to promote The Maze & the Mirror, “a dystopian science fiction play” happening at a punk warehouse in Oakland this weekend. “Your favorite future diva” plays the lead and sings the song. Also, by “club” I mean the grass […]
This seems like a very good time to buy vacuum sealed JAMES FRANCO man of the world cover with all BUSHWICK foods including homemade chocolate chip cookies and local anchovies. It’s a ready-made and it’s only $75. Artist Brad Troemel started selling sculptural objects on his BSTJ Etsy store as a project for group blog The Jogging awhile ago, but yeah, Spring Breakers, so […]
“I wanted to create a game that touched infinity,” Jonathan Minard explains. We’re in the dark lower level of 319 Scholes at the opening Art Hack Day: God Mode. To his right, bio-glitch artists in lab-coats explain How to be Anonymous in the Age of the DNA Surveillance. Behind him, visitors wave their arms, commanding mountains to morph […]
Nothing wrong with this picture here. That’s an actual hand-carved wood cabinet by Italian architect and designer Ferruccio Laviani. The “Good Vibrations” storage unit is a feat of artisanship, a baroque armoire contorted into seamless IRL glitch. Echoes of faraway places and Oriental elements are glimpsed in the “disorienting” design of this storage unit, which […]
Bronx Soles, an exhibit on display this month at BronxArtSpace, features the work of artists Osjua A. Newton, Sean Paul Gallegos, Andre Trenier and Jason Shaw. The sneaker-themed exhibit will feature paintings, sculptures, photography and art directly on kicks. Linda Cunningham, the curator, feels that the message of Bronx Soles is the possibilites of what […]
Los Angeles-born artist James Turrell, known for visceral immersive installations like Bindu Shards, works primarily with light and “indeterminate space” to alter his audience’s visual perception and consciousness. Towards that end, since 1974, Turrell has been developing a monumental land art project known as Roden Crater, a three-mile-wide extinct volcano near Flagstaff, Arizona. One of […]
On the last day of the Moving Image Contemporary Art Fair, project The Shortest Video Art Ever Sold! #SVAES sold a Vine. You may have read in the Guardian about it today, lulz. Yesterday, the transaction was made by Magda Sawon at the Postmasters Gallery. Tits on Tits on Ikea (2013), Angela Washko, #SVAES. Collection of Myriam Vanneschi vine.co/v/bdugbvxYtYO — […]
This is a pretty girl. Her face is bursting with geometry, folding out on itself, blooming outwards, sporing delicate mutations… another eye, another lip, another eye, another lip… Photographer Alma Haser‘s Cosmic Faces series is contra-magical surrealist. After taking portraits of her subjects, she prints and prints and prints their faces, constructing complex origami structured mirroring and distorting their […]
Heartwalk, a 30-foot heart made from the wood of boardwalks damaged by Hurricane Sandy, was recently installed at Dumbo’s Pearl Street Triangle. The piece, which contains wood from Long Beach and the Jersey Shore, was initially placed in Times Square before making the trip to Brooklyn this week. “It’s exciting to see Heartwalk set in another dynamic […]
