Roxiny Reader Find

By Roxiny in New Art on Tuesday 18 December 2012

Graphic designer and art director, Ebon Heath, has exhibited internationally with his stereo.type mobiles, installations, jewelry, and performance art making type come alive. Showing us what it looks like when words are liberated from a two dimensional page to express their unique content, Ebon’s art strikes a nerve with me as a songwriter. I am fascinated with the power of words as an instrument that can take thoughts and emotions and make them into something that can resonate with others.

Video art by Jill Magid

Robert Raimon Roy Reader Find

By Robert Raimon Roy in New Art on Friday 9 November 2012

Jill Magid engages impersonal systems of power (such as Dutch surveillance cameras and NYC transit police) in a game of seduction. The resulting work is often just as much literature as it is art. She’s also really hot. I’m in love. [watch a video below]

By Amos Oaks in New Art on Thursday 26 July 2012

I’ve experienced a subculture of proletariat that, from the viewpoint of the air conditioned white-collar or the intellectual locked in his office with a stack of Marxist literature, is nothing more than a stoic backbone. Sunburned roofers, dust-coated concrete finishers, swollen knuckled carpenters – drunk, high, toothless, bruised and broken – are dreamers, too. My recent opening was a semi-autobiographical look at that life.
