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…
Awesome illustrator (and our buddy) Jeff McMillan just did a massive overhaul of his site, JeffMcMillan.com. He has some incredible work up, including a series Star Wars lovers are sure to dig and some brand new pieces from his Bailout art show. (Photos after the jump.)
We had a blast Monday night with Allison Reimus and all the MoMA jumpers! Major kudos all around, and merit badges to the many bystanders who came to see the exhibits but ended up leaping in front of them with us after catching the jumping bug.
A big thanks to Nicky Digital, Amanda Bruns and Bradly Brown for capturing the action. Amanda and Bradly’s photos are up now on the MoMA Monday Nights Flickr group — which anyone who has pictures from last night is more than welcome to contribute to –…
WHAT: ART JMP @ MoMA
WHEN: Tonight, December 8 @ 5:30 PM
WHERE: MoMA (11 W. 53rd Street, between 5th and 6th avenues)
PRICE: MoMA admission - $20
Alright, tonight’s the night that we’re joining Allison Reimus of Jumping in Art Museums at MoMA to stage what we’re modestly hoping will be the biggest art jump EVER!
Of course, to do that we’re going to need your help. The whole “Ten lords a-leaping” jazz just won’t cut it. If you’re gonna be there, aim to arrive ahead of 6:30, when Allison will corral…
And we do mean that literally.
Allison Reimus, pioneer of the Jumping in Art Museums movement, is going to be at the MoMA this Monday night (12/8) for, appropriately, MoMA Monday Nights. For those unfamiliar with art jumping, here’s the gist: you go to a museum. You see yourself some fine, modern art. You’re thrilled by said art. Ecstasy takes hold and, before you know it, you commence with the jumping. (This phenomenon, equal parts rad and awesome, is documented at length on Allison’s blog.)
The plan for the 8th is…
We just got our mitts on Opium7, the latest issue of the Opium Magazine. If the name’s not ringing a bell, think stories, think poems, think drama excerpts, cartoons and art. Basically, it’s what your high school’s art-literary mag aspired to be — what it would have in its locker, if only it had one.
What’ll strike you first (after the Chuck Close cover) is that each piece save the table of contents has an estimated reading time. Sure, it’s a normal convention of the series, but it’s still pretty novel.…
A last minute heads-up on what looks to be a very resonant event: the second annual Asian Contemporary Art Fair opens to the public tomorrow and runs through Monday.
Showcasing the work of both established and emerging figures at the forefront of Asian art, ACAF NY will get underway at Pier 92 Friday, November 7. Upwards of 80 international galleries and non-profit organizations will feature an exciting array of art from 15 different countries.
In addition, two special exhibitions, numerous panels and lectures, and an intriguing performance piece called “Control” are…
It could just be our love for duct tape, bright colors and NYC speaking, but we think we just might have a crush on Aakash Nihalani. He’s the fella who’s been sticking some very rad shapes around town since the summer. And if his recent Flickr updates are any indication, the cold isn’t slowing him down.
Nihalani’s all about “highlighting the unexpected contours” that the city’s had all along. This means you’ll find his work serving as platforms for subway musicians or emphasizing the brickwork we’d otherwise overlook.
Now, seeing Nihalani’s…
Is the image above making your brain go bananas? If so, how do you like them bananas? Because believe you me, there’s much more where that came from. And if you don’t like them bananas, here’s what you can put on the return label:
MELA Foundation’s Dream House
275 Church Street, 3rd Floor
New York, NY 10013
Because that’s where the high caliber bananas inducer pictured originated. La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela, the artists behind the Dream House Sound and Light Exhibition, call their work “a time installation measured by a setting…

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,…
The Lazarides Gallery of the UK, most famously known for its representation of the graffiti artist Banksy, has opened its first U.S.-based exhibit in New York called The Outsiders. Amongst the 50 or so works are a collage of our revered president, Dubya, made of porno clippings and a new one of Paris Hilton done in the same fashion. Jonathon Yeo, the artist, says he is giving proceeds from the sale of the Hilton piece to Ms. Hilton herself, since she never got paid for “One Night in Paris.” Murals also…
