It’s a New Year! Now’s the time to step back and give some thought to how you’re going to seize 2009. Maybe you’re looking for some inspiration. Maybe you’re just looking for a quiet place to think.
Good news: MoMA’s got the time and the place!
On Monday, January 12, MoMA is staying open an extra 3 hours so you can come by, unwind with pals and find just what you need to take on the new year. This is a special event that’s perfect for everyone who works 9…
Alright, it’s tough to ignore the big time allusion to modern warfare here. But looking just at the tongue-in-cheek mangling of toys, which letters in the this alphabet are your faves?
We’re particularly fond of groundhoggin’ V, Rose McGowan-esque F and the breakdancers of W.
These soldiers were professionally repurposed by artist Oliver Munday, who’s done a ton of graphic design, including some very spiffy illustrations for the New York Times. As his site’ll show ya, his portfolio’s all sorts of rad.
And some major kudos to Command Save, where we first…
An article in this month’s Pediatrics reports exotic, nontraditional pets expose children to diseases their immune systems are ill-equipped to handle. They’re thinking more along the lines of hedgehogs and reptiles, not so much hot dogs and chicken nuggets.
These are the sort of pets found through the end of the month at The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill between West 4th and Bleeker. In having read the past sentence, you are obligated to click the link and experience the location’s website. You won’t have a clue about what’s going on,…
Eliasson’s waterfalls come down next monday (Oct 13th), and if you haven’t taken the time to go look at them, you are missing out. Furman st, south of Old Fulton is a sweet spot to see all four of them, and seeing all of them in the context of the city is the best way to go. They are sweet, regardless of what we may or may not have said in the past about them. Here is proof: “Hungry for fine art I’ll be the waiter at your table, I’ve…
The multimedia campaign for Halo 3 ate lunch and dinner at the 87th Annual Art Directors Club Awards, taking home 5 Gold Awards in Broadcast Advertising, Broadcast Art Direction and Integrated Advertising. It is one of the most decorated art projects in history.
For the launch the third game in the Halo series Bungie and Microsoft assembled a truly breathtaking breadth of diorama, video and audio that takes viewers through the Battle for New Mombasa where Earth’s forces clashed with the invading Covenant alien fleet.
The story of battle is…
Our friends at The Night Agency delivered Darren a massive Blackberry birthday cake for his 30th birthday.
We don’t know about you, but sometimes our DEVICES can feel this big - the weight of connectivity - Inbox Anchors, tethered to a crowded, noisy shore.
The Aztecs thought life was a dream: death was waking to reality - something truly joyous. We like that blur.
Last weekend the Miami Herald profiled Columbian artist Yazmany Arboleda.
You might know him from his recent New York solo shows, “The Assassination of Barack Obama” and “The Assassination of Hillary Clinton,” both of which were pulled from Chelsea galleries after extensive pressure from “outside sources.”
Yazmany is currently looking for another venue to house the exhibits; we’ll keep you updated on his progress. You should expect nothing less than greatness from the man whose mantra is, “I want to be the most influential artist of the 21st Century.”
In anticipation of Nick Weist’s upcoming curatorial art opening/dance party spectacular, If I told you you were beautiful, would you date me on the regular?, The Sean Bailey (ARCH DL IV) sat down with him (remotely) to discuss his views on art, JT, and the media public.
So tell us a bit about yourself.
I’m a kid from Brooklyn that works at Creative Time. I put shows together and I do some writing on the side. I don’t like the word “curator” yet, maybe because I haven’t grown into it, but also…
Amelie Chabannes’ My Portrait of Your Identity opens Friday, March 21st with a reception at LUXE Gallery.
“My Portrait consists of thirty small self-portraits painted in slight relief in which smoke and flames articulate breath and gestures, armies of dots dance to form paisley patterns and then quickly dissolve in to a swirl and flourish of flesh. These dimensional paintings presciently lead into full small-scale sculptures of the artist’s head rendered in various incarnations which elude to different biological substances.”
Part of the exhibit includes a collaboration with Brazilian video artist, Antonia…
The bleeding edge of electronic music is not for the fearful.
Josh Boughey has been experimenting with alternate strumming methods and firmware versions for a long time.
His newest experimental instrument, The Stribe is an 8-channel multi-touch controller for music or video software inspired by the Monome 40h.
The Stribe is an open source project with lots of documentation and it’s own forum, so break out your soldering iron and get blinking.
Due to extreme legal pressures on the Leah Keller and Naomi Gates galleries, Yazmany Arboleda’s “The Assassination of Hillary Clinton” and “The Assassination of Barack Obama” have been closed indefinitely.
Arboleda’s had quite a bit of media attention for the exhibits, so much so, that he seems to have angered the right people.
Here is an excerpt from a letter he sent LVHRD:
