Daniel Arsham
I have a major crush on Daniel Arsham. I like everything he does and has done, which also makes him very annoying to me. When you find an artist that somehow manages to accomplish this, there is no place to feel anything but respect. And exhaustion.
His first solo show in LA opens on January 20th at OHWOW, titled: The Fall, The Ball, and The Wall. The ‘wall’ alludes to Arsham’s befuddling sculptures that appear to ooze from the surface of the wall. And the ‘fall’ relates to structures that seemingly defy the laws of nature. ‘I’m trying to create a space where the architecture appears to be in movement’, he explains, ‘as if it is in the process of forming or deforming itself’. I love in his new work how he infringes the ordinary uses of architecture.

Expressionist paintings by Lisa Solberg
If you are chosen for the path of an ‘expressionist’ and/or ‘abstract expressionist’ painter: first of all, you accept that painting the intangible, aka ‘nothing’, is a lot of the times harder than painting the ‘something’. Know the challenge. Secondly, painting from only a real and honest place within yourself can be extremely exhausting and at the same time intoxicating; or, sometimes you’ll just need to get intoxicated. Give yourself a break! Read more

There are two kinds of metalheads: those that are drawn by the hyper masculine, angry, aggressive aspect of metal, and those that are drawn by its Wagnerian drama, themes of pagan nature worship, and disdain towards modern civilization. The line between the latter and hippies is quite thin. I am one of these sorts of metal fans, which is why I also really love bands like The Lickets, an empyrean, luminously beautiful, experimental folk collective. They make music that makes you feel like a tiny speck floating in the vast oceans of existence, perfect for a night of star gazing, just like Burzum’s fourth album, Filosifem.
