At some point between cringing at a severely loungy remix of NIN and almost spilling our photographer’s beer into his bag, I realize the Fuck yeah! painting glowing in the Pumps “champagne room” is a Noah Becker and that’s not what Noah Becker paintings usually look like. But art exhibits don’t usually pop up at strip clubs. And burlesque show […]
This is Wim Delvoye’s holiest work to day and not because it doesn’t involve tattooed pigs and shit factories. With Dual Möbius Quad Corpus — currently on view at his solo Sperone Westwater gallery show of laser-cut stainless steel and bronze sculptures — the Belgian Surrealist does something quite unique. The four twisted Christs warped around a single cross in an […]
TRANSFER — New York’s only net art gallery — has an opening tomorrow night that is relevant to your interests. Especially if your interests are large scale physical manifestations of digital work poppin’ GIFs like this… This is Lorna’s Loose Lips Sink Ships! GIF from Run Computer Run, but for TRASNFER it’s all new everything: The […]
Can Kenneth Goldsmith do wrong? For his latest endeavor, Museum of Modern Art’s first poet laureate and founding editor of the unstoppable, renegade avant garde media archive UbuWeb wants YOU to print out the entire internet. The idea is simple: print out as much as of the web as you want — be it one sheet or a truckload — send […]
Hidden within the sterile, long-abandoned second floor rooms of the Farley Post Office in Midtown, there is a vast and impressive collection of art. Works by Picasso, Warhol, Basquiat, Condo, Manzoni and others — some never before exhibited in public — contrast stunningly against the decrepit walls and outdated decor of the labyrinthine space. Decades ago, there […]

The latest commissioned works from Kathleen Daniel, Barry Doupe, Erin Dunn, Lauren Gregory, Jacolby Satterwhite and […]
Our friends at the Klughaus Gallery are currently hosting a special pop-up exhibit entitled “PALINGENESIS,” featuring Parisian PAL (Peace and Love) Crew and their LES “forefather” GOREY. The work walks a delicate path from graffiti into fine art. This is PAL’s first U.S. gallery debut. Check out our shots of some of the work. “PALINGENESIS,” GOREY, HORFE, CONY, TOMEK, […]
Do you know The Jogging, a loose group of artists that each contribute artworks to a single shared Tumblr account. The project, initially founded by Brad Troemel and Lauren Christiansen is said by many to be singlehandedly responsible for defining the aesthetic taste of art on the internet today. Or something. The Jogging is being featured in their […]
“#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 […]
Superchief Gallery at Culturefix is currently featuring the work of three artists dealing with blackness in the appropriately titled exhibition “BLACK POWER” — an eclectic mix of illustration, graphic design and sculture. They also have guns. As I walked into the Lower East Side space, it seemed quite casual — people hanging out in the […]
