Sebrina Fassbender at the Wallace Gallery
My dear friend Sebrina Fassbender’s photographs will be shown again in New York, in a group show at the Amelie A. Wallace Gallery at SUNY College. This past summer, Fassbender’s highly sexualized, painful, and often graphic photographs of women, were shown alongside those of LaToya Ruby Frazier at Higher Pictures. For the upcoming show, Sebrina’s work will be shown in slide-show format. Of the series, Fassbender says: ‘I made the show very raw and passionate. There is no holding back!’

Don’t Talk To The Police: talk by former criminal attorney
Trust your local cops? Not according to one law school professor and former criminal defense attorney who gives an entire lecture on why none of us should ever talk to the police. It’s worth a watch.

Pay close close attention to Tichenor’s embroideries: they are lovely and blur the line between fine art and craft. Read more

Oh man, my eyeballs feel like they’re dropping out of my head. This clip is pyschedelic in a way that platform shoes and polyester shoes could never be. The Faint are the shizz, and that’s the truth.

The work of Australia’s Ben Frost is always interesting. He’s known for his controversial art juxtapositions that confront contemporary Western paradigms in our advertising obsessed society. Crapitalism is on display until November 3 at Opus Gallery in Newcastle, UK. I do hope any disgruntled viewers refrain themselves from slashing his work with a knife, unlike the infamous 2000 Australian episode.

I adore the band Health and am left fascinated by this glamorously bouncy We Are Water remix by Canadian duo Azari & III, who have taken it to outer house-space. It’s pure 80s late night disco at its finest. Ghost Buster meets Short Circuit, anyone?

The problem with awesome things like these pencils made out of recycled newspaper is that you almost don’t want to use them.
