Barry McGee’s current exhibition at Cheim & Read is his first in New York in over eight years. McGee’s colorful graphic compositions command attention and, at times, may even require their own room to be properly presented. The Bay Area artist’s work is informed by various, distinct influences, ranging from the bold visual styles of graffiti to the […]
Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles is known for its fantastically fan-arty shows dedicated to everything from Breaking Bad to internet memes. People straight up camped out for “The Official Edgar Wright Art Show,” that’s been “seven years in the making” — Wright’s films have appeared frequently in the several installments of Gallery 1988’s “Crazy 4 Cult” movie-tribute […]
This is not what a feminist artist looks like. I am not in a habit of trashing a show before I see it, so I won’t trash the 2-day “EXPLICIT” exhibit at Morgan Avenue Underground in Bushwick this weekend. After reading this Vice profile however, it’s clear that there is an ethical and intellectual fail in […]
Jeffrey Deitch is coming back to New York and he’s doing a graffiti show, sort of. It looks interesting. His highly hyped street art exhibit that one time was dampened by a questionable incident *cough BLU cough* and his overall stint as the director of the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art lead to questions regarding his […]
The Museum of Modern Art’s sound art exhibit opened over the weekend and now, the exhibit “Soundings” website has gone live. It features in-depth profiles and works from the exhibiting artists, including embedded sounds (of course)… and a section for contributing your own. The sounds are geo-tagged and mapped. To participate, just record your own “daily sonic experience” straight […]
Where some may have seen an unimpressive little house on a barren hill, Italian photographer Manuel Costentino saw the perfect canvas for Mother Nature’s dramatic expressions. To create Behind a Little House, Costentino went to the same location for two years straight to capture the ever-changing scenery behind the tiny home from a consistent angle. A simple […]
Do you like crazy art GIFs?! On Saturday, Lorna Mills’ The Axis of Something solo show of animated GIFs and large-scale digital prints (made like this) comes to a close at Transfer Gallery in Brooklyn with an event! Lorna Mills has curated a group projections project called Clusterfuck Zoo featuring ” animal otherness, charismatic mega-fauna fights and cross-species romance (always the […]
“Media Art is the art of today, the art that people will remember in the future,” director Unpainted Annette Doms tells ARTinfo. In January 2014, Unpainted will become Germany’s first-ever fair for new media and video art and will show “algorithmic plotter-drawings, computer animation, collages, photography, net-art, software art, interactive art, sculpture.” Artist Rafaël Rozendaal is slated to give “an […]
REVOKE and POSE have had no trouble keeping busy during their New York visit: Immediately following their work on the Bowery Wall was the opening of their joint exhibition “Uphill Both Ways” at the Jonathan Levine Gallery. Inspired by the late graffiti writer NEKST, this is the first ever NYC show for the duo. In […]
ANIMAL stopped by the opening of Jonas Mekas’s exhibit “OUTLAW: NEW WORKS” at the Microscope Gallery last night. The 90-year-old Lithuanian filmmaker, “godfather of American avant-garde cinema” and founder of the invaluable Anthology Film Archives was cheerful and friendly, despite the aggressive theme of his show. I dedicate this Exhibition to all artists who had to go […]
