New Art / Daniel Jensen
October 30, 2009 | New Art | by Gerry Mak 
|
The beguiling crudeness of Daniel Jensen’s work adds to its expressiveness — like the work of a psychotically precocious child, Jensen’s drawings, paintings, and sculptures seem slapped together in a mad frenzy, yet manage to display a deft sense of movement, depth, and demented emotion. Read more

New Art / Olivia Jeffries
October 29, 2009 | New Art | by Gerry Mak |
Using found/re-purposed paper to draw on, British artist Olivia Jeffries creates pieces that look as if they have fallen out of the notebook of some latter-day Da Vinci.

New Art / Art Decks
October 28, 2009 | New Art | by Ilana Kohn |
I love it! With the CD now being eclipsed by the MP3, I find myself feeling even more nostalgic for the simple charm of the cassette. Australian artists Andrew Smart and Jared Schmidt create ‘large scale hand-made wooden cassette tapes, routed, sanded, bogged, primed, and painted with a high quality paint finish’. Aha! The perfect way to memorialize my old mix tapes. Read more

New Art / Mark Wagner
October 26, 2009 | New Art | by Nicklaus Andersen |
Brooklyn-based collagist Mark Wagner does more with a single dollar than many people can with millions. His imagination, sense of humor and indignation, and eerily capable hands make money fun again, in an ironic way. Next under the knife, cigarette ads? (For it!) Read more

Some cool work from Robots Will Kill, an arts site dedicated to exposure for artists and media often disregarded by the mainstream art world. The core collective of artists that makes Robots Will Kill run also work on murals, canvases, clothing design and various other artistic outlets. Read more

New Art / Andreco’s Fake Religion animation
October 22, 2009 | New Art | by Ilana Kohn |
Presented only with stills from Italian artist Andreco’s stop-motion animation Fake Religion, I was really loving it, purely based on its stark, surreal imagery. I was pretty disappointed not being able to locate the actual video, but that aside, I simply adored the images. I really would have loved to have seen the video presented in the breathtaking setting of the Palazzo Re Enzo in Bologna. Such a beautiful contrast of aesthetics between the dramatic murals and vaulted ceilings of the Palazzo and the stark graphic imagery of Andreco’s animation. Read more

New Art / Michael Cline
October 21, 2009 | New Art | by Gerry Mak |
Painter Michael Cline fixates on the ugliness of a city, rife with homeless and mentally unstable people, latchkey kids, prostitutes, and brutal police officers whose ephemera — cardboard signs, clippings from porno ads, doodles, and dirty underwear — lays bare their true inner decay and psychosis.

New Art / Maria Calderon
October 19, 2009 | New Art | by Dave Mata |
I had the pleasure of meeting painter Maria Calderon a few years back through some mutual friends. Even then her work was stunning. It seemed as though you could stand back and take in everything you thought you could, and if you moved up to a piece, you were pulled in to all the different stories, different landscapes, within a single painting. The vibrant colors and never ending spacial trickery really does it for me.

New Art / Santa, Santa, everywhere Santa
October 16, 2009 | New Art | by Roger Link |
‘Santalopes are everywhere’. That’s what artist Andrew Erdos will lead you to believe with his current project, The Sweetest Thing. The project documents an international fraternity of perverted and well-traveled Santas celebrating debauchery, idolatry, and lots of candy. The absurdity of this year-round celebration of Christmas, with its ridiculous costumes and overtly sexual themes, helps the viewer marvel in and enjoy the American trash culture on display. Erdos is known for working in all mediums including photography. His work has been shown at many museums including The National Centre for Contemporary Art in Moscow and the Beijing BS1 Contemporary Art Center in China. Read more

New Art / Tim Biedron
October 15, 2009 | New Art | by Dave Mata |
Multi-faceted artist Tim Biedron is probably best known for his incredible tattoo work (which you have to book an appointment for about three months in advance). Although he’s very successful at inflicting pain in an incredibly beautiful way, he still finds time to paint and hash out the drawings that originally inspired his work on the human canvas. His drawings, in particular, have an off-kilter reminiscence of horror masked with simple images of animals, fish, and characters from his mind that at first appear harmless, until you realize there’s something just a bit off about them.

New Art / Brian McKenzie
October 14, 2009 | New Art | by Gerry Mak |
London-based Brian McKenzie’s prints, paintings, and clay sculptures all have a great, almost retro spookiness about them. They look like illustrations for German cautionary fairy tales. Read more

New Art / Street art in Zagreb, Croatia
October 14, 2009 | New Art | by Casper Johansson |
MP5 + TO/LET are a collective of three girls from Rome and from Bologna who have been working on installations and graffiti since 2006. This graffiti was created in Medika, a new squat in Zagreb, Croatia. They were invited there for the Vox Feminae Festival, and this was painted in four days in the main entrance. Read more

New Art / Terry Rowlett
October 12, 2009 | New Art | by Nicklaus Andersen |
Terry Rowlett’s bright, finely rendered paintings use Renaissance posing, compositional techniques, and color symbolism in juxtaposition with modern industrial implements and precarious ecosystems to interrogate modern conundrums like religious ecstasy, gender roles, and technological ‘progress’, all with a unified stoic irony that ultimately evokes sympathy in the viewer.

Ok, some random news and observations about this thriving, jiving metropolis that is New York City. 1. There are that many tattoos around Williamsburg, Brooklyn that I reckon I’m making more of a statement by not having one! Seriously. People nod at me on the street as if to say, ‘cool man, I love that clean skin. Where’d ya get it done?’ Read more

One-woman noise act Child Bride makes droning, ambient, sample-laden, tribal noise that sounds like a pagan cyber-witch mourning the death of her shaman.
In 2004, a local government in Paris revealed plans to redevelop an area of the city. However, in response to time lag and a lack of consultation, a residents group launched a virtual design competition for the area in Second Life. Read more
I ran a series of 80s nights in New York last year — showing cult 80s movies and playing classic cuts from that era of kitsch and spice — purely so I could spin After The Fire’s Der Kommissar over and over. Yessir, this was the future of music in 1983. Pity no one was listening.
Swedish designer Paula Hagerskans has a cool masculine-edge to her female fashion lines. But it’s her attention to detail that really blows my mind. Her perfectly tailored jackets, along with her flat dress shoes, make dressing up fun, comfortable and classy. When asked what she keeps in mind while designing, Hagerskans responds, ‘Bohemic music lovers, humor, graphic design and the female body’.
