For my latest series of polaroid composites I am using the portrait to create images of faces captured in between moments of the paparazzi’s flash and a candid pose. These faces are made up from individual instant photos of various pieces of subway posters. Each separate photo competes for attention in the grid, causing the eye to vibrate back and forth from the individual to the whole image. Read more

Noah Post creates collage paintings that effortlessly evoke the character and complex quality of line that deKooning and Brice Marden championed. What looks chaotic is actually an exercise in control. His expressive use of mixed materials and paint pump energy into each image. Are they maps of lifelines or side sliced sections of an archeological ruin? Whatever, I keep clicking next to see more. Read more

This music video by Ewan Jones Morris and Casey Raymond is based on a memory sequence created by Ben Pridmore. Simple, imaginative and fun. Conceptually perfect.

In this interview with The legendary surrealist filmmaker Jan Švankmajer, we get a glimpse into the mind of a brilliant creative visionary. His unique melding of live action and animation is reminiscent of the Monty Python years. It is a pleasure to learn what it is that makes him create. Or, as the surrealists say, there is only one poetry and it does not matter which means we use to capture it.

I recently saw Allison Schulnik’s show at Zieher Smith Gallery in Chelsea. It was like walking into a celebration of paint in all its thick, impasto glory, as it came together to create a land of misfits and dazzling rejects. The show stopper was the stop motion, claymation, called MOUND that was both a macabre ceremony and beautifully choreographed ballet of creatures set to the music of It’s Raining Today by Scott Walker. In the film the material of clay and paint comes well off the canvass and fuses Frankenstein life into each gently crafted character.

This is Miranda July’s shoot with Vice where she poses as extras from famous movies. I love the challenge of figuring out the movies she referenced here. Miranda July proves again and again how creative, humorous and brilliant art can be (especially hers). She conjures the photo performance work of Cindy Sherman. Read more

Tigersushi and Excuse My French released a video for DYE’s new single, Fantasy. The song is pretty cool, but the video is soaked in awesomeness. Directed by animation wunderkind, Jérémie Périn, the video tells a tale of a group of teenagers out for a night of mischief and fun when things get weird. Fast. It’s as if someone drops some serious hallucinogens mixed with some very NSFWorld material, all wrapped up in a Dali nightmare. It made me want to revisit the manga adapted movie, Ghost in the Shell.

On first glancing at Carrie Witherell’s visually arresting series of images, Relic, I immediately think of old scientific recordings, kind of like what William Henry Fox Talbot did with plants in the 1800s. These creatures are trapped in a dream. Looking deeper into them, I realize these Cyanotypes are constructed and the shapes are actually built up from tracing paper. Read more

It’s a really good thing I don’t have any money, otherwise I’d spend it all on ridiculous things like historically accurate Viking swords by MAD Dwarf Workshop.

Every year we get a new one, every year we play it safe. So, this year, why not open your mind a little and get hold of one of these tasteless date makers. If nothing else, it’ll be a very good conversation starter. Read more
How can you not love a band called ¡Apeshit!? Their name says it all. I got to catch these guys tour at a warehouse in Bed-Stuy the other night as they were capping off their most recent tour, and even though there were only 20 or so people in the audience by the time they went on, their set was absolutely epic, culminating in frontman Pat Berran being hoisted up and subsequently dropped by the drunken, sweaty, and heavily tattooed crowd. If you love fast, spastic, intensely brutal punk, this band will make you crap your pants.
