Genesis P-Orridge’s 30 Years of Being Cut Up
Ex-Throbbing Gristle, ex-Psychic TV, ex-Thee Majesty frontman and current collage virtuoso, Genesis P-Orridge has a new exhibition, a retrospective spanning 30 years of collage work, running until October 18 at New York’s Invisible Exports.
Genesis has taken a cue from his old friend William S. Burroughs’ trademark writing style and translated it to his art as well as his body over the past three decades, the work is a test in endurance and dedication, Genesis states once again that he is a true walking work of art.

Malcolm McNeill and the Lost Art of Ah Pook
Malcolm McNeill was just finishing art school when he began his seven year collaboration with the author, William S. Burroughs. This work, which has never been published, is finally going to see the light of day. Fantagraphics has two books coming out this Spring by McNeill: one with his lost drawings and paintings, and the other a reflection on the relationship between word and image which has made an indelible mark on the artist and master draftsman.

December Editions at ADC Gallery in New York
December Editions, a special group show of prints on paper, just opened at the ADC Gallery in New York. The exhibition features works by designers who have produced their work through a variety of limited edition printmaking processes, including Paula Scher, partner at Pentagram, ADC Hall of Fame Laureate and winner of last year’s ADC Design Sphere Awards, and ADC Young Gun winners Andrio Abero and comics destroyer, Paul Pope, along with some of my work. Stop in to have a look at the candy-colored great wall. The show runs through December 23. Read more
Lubalin Now at New York’s Cooper Union
Herb Lubalin’s influence as a graphic designer is undeniable, and now his name graces the side of the new building at Cooper Union. The inaugural exhibit of the Lubalin Center just opened with the beautiful Mike Essl-curated show, Lubalin Now. I’ve been noticing recently that design exhibitions have been blowing away more traditional fine art shows and this one is no exception. It’s quite exciting to see the influence this man has had on many of today’s young top designers. Standouts for me were the pieces by Deanne Cheuk, Alex Trochut, Justin Thomas Kay and Rick Valicenti. The show continues until Dec 8.
Robert Crumb’s illuminated version of Genesis
A favorite from my more perverted days — I’m saying they are behind me — Robert Crumb has once again shocked his audience. This time by not getting dirty but rather completing a 207 page word for word illuminated version of Genesis. The Hammer Museum in LA is currently exhibiting this Magnum opus. Crumb definitely did not rest on the 7th day, this epic undertaking is enough for one man’s life work, yet disturbingly enough is just one of his many. A quick side note, I saw Raymond Pettibon at the exhibit and even he was looking a little overwhelmed by the endless black frames of drawings, he still looked pretty damn cool though, too.

I don’t know how San Francisco artist Liz Hickok constructs her dramatic cityscapes entirely out of jelly without at least nibbling a bite out of one of the imposing facades.
The Australian film collective behind the sci-fi spoof, The Time That Time Forgot, perfectly capture the look and feel of awkward, low-budget rip-offs from the ’70s — the psychedelic lighting, bad dubbing, and amazing hair. One almost wishes Italian Spiderman was for real. [more about Italian Spiderman]
