Nathalie Djurberg is a Swedish video artist who is best known for her clay-mations, videos featuring animations made out of clay with music by Hans Berg. Her work seems naive at first, but on closer inspection, it is often violent and erotic at the same time. Her work is currently exhibited at the Camden Arts Centre in London

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.

O-clay, Nirvana like you’ve never seen them before. Though they do less damage to the stage here than a typical Nirvana set.

Chantal Claret from the New York-band Morningwood taught herself how to do claymation and she made a video for their song Snobby Little Elf. It’s pretty amazing.

Green Jelly’s claymation video for Three Little Pigs proved to the masses that claymation isn’t just for kids with its beer-swilling, joint-toking pigs and Joe Camel-esque wolf (who meets a bloody end at the hands of Rambo). Nathalie Djurberg takes things one step further — beneath the bright colors and whimsical characters that populate the plasticine world of her short films flows a current of feces, perversion, and violence.

Artist Liz Hickok has created stunning representations of San Francisco entirely out of Jello-O. ‘I make the landscapes by constructing scale models of the architectural elements which I use to make molds’, she says. ‘I then cast the buildings in Jell-O. Similar to making a movie set, I add backdrops, which I often paint, and elements such as mountains or trees, and then I dramatically light the scenes from the back or underneath. The Jell-O sculptures quickly decay, leaving the photographs and video as the remains’. Read more

Of all the weird places the world has to offer, the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia has to be one of the coolest. Literally. At 3,700m above sea level, it’s the biggest and highest salt flat in the world, where after dark, temperatures can drop to minus 40 degrees celsius. The best way to explore the salt flat is to hire a 4WD and driver from the Uyuni township. En route, you can even stay at a Salt Hotel, where everything is, quite literally, made from salt: the chairs, beds, tables and even the walls. There’s no heating and the beds aren’t exactly ‘plush’, but it’s worth every salty second. Read more
What can’t Jay Z do? Not content with having recorded the contemporary tribute to Gotham City, the all round entrepreneur has just launched an online lifestyle magazine called Life and Times, which the mighty one will personal curate.
Days Off is an incredibly catchy but smart punk band from Chicago. While they’re the best of what pop music through the ages has to offer, they’re by no means pop-punk. As infectious as their hooks and choruses are, there are enough off-kilter rhythms and complex guitar work to give their music a layered feel, putting them into a category all their own.
Two of the nicest dudes I’ve ever met own and design the ridiculously cool clothing line, Kane & Unke. It’s pretty much all I have in my closet. They used to be sold exclusively at Metropark, but have recently fired up their own online store which I’m told will be up and running around July.
