Hipsters in the Land Before Time

Time traveler Molly Lewis has been to the Jurassic and returned with crayonic documentaion that hipsters once roamed the earth in reptilian guises. Now the question remains… Were dinosaurs “too hip” to survive and is hipsterdom a sign of the decline of the species?

Kusama + Baby = Awesome

I’m by no means the only person to have fallen headfirst down Kusama’s infinitely reflected, obliterated work. Flickr user Sanhelsington has captured the distillation of the intoxicating power of Yayoi Kusama.

Commune with Fake Jeffrey Deitch in the InterWild

Memo to LACMA: Never Do This Again

Bravo is debuting Work of Art tonight, and Jacyln Santos, whose work reads like a “primer on rehashed post-feminist painting”, took the time to get her teeth fixed for television and to bless us with a video testimonial on her dentist of choice. I’m currently betting that we’ll be hearing some quality soundbites [...]

Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!

This space has been blank for a while, as I’ve been up to my neck in preparation of Open Studios at Angels Gate.  Sometimes you’ve gotta choose between doing your job right and busying yourself as an unpaid internet loudmouth.  Spring is always the busiest time of the year for [...]
