Art in the Streets is Coming to MOCA,
Do You Approve? MOCA-latte.org doesn’t.

This is interesting, MOCA-latte.org, a website devoted to developing a critical dialogue regarding Art in the Streets, MOCA’s upcoming, “inevitably criticized” exhibition.  They’re sending out stickers allowing you to play the part of Jeffrey Deitch, “approving” or “disapproving” of various pieces of street art out in the wild, they have a forum, a [...]

Edith Abeyta: Opening Tonight at Windward School & Long Beach Garment Manifestation

I’ve been having a number of exciting art moments during “Spring Break in LA 2011!!! Woo!!Woo!!”, including a much anticipated visit to Edith Abeyta’s ongoing installation, Long Beach Garment Manifestation, at The Collaborative in Long Beach.  It’s massive, architectural an an awe inspiring piece of installation art.

Last Week to Get Your Butt To LACMA for Fashioning Fashion

Sure, you could just browse my Flickr set for all the best bits and lie to your friends that you saw the show, but really?  You’ve got the time.  LACMA’s fashion collection is one of LA’s most hidden gems and I’m hoping that the new addition of space at LACMA creates more opportunities [...]

Robot Prom Coming to a Theatre Near You

The photos from the Cypress College Class of 3011 robot prom were unforgettable, and the teaser for what I think it’s safe to describe as the most anticipated robot dance party film of the coming Oscar season is an accelerated cardboardstorm of pure joy.

Vision of the Bleak Future in Astoria, Oregon

I don’t have any way of proving this, but this super ominous, super awesome painting has a “shot for a trade paperback” vibe to it.  Definitely a lot of 1970′s cover art flavour going on, regardless.  Are those Sardaukar there?  Found in the basement of an antique mall in Astoria, Oregon, I was [...]

Obliterate me Forever with Juciy Kisses! Yayoi Kusama x Lancome Lip Gloss

Yayoi Kusama is seriously heavy into merchandising.  She’s beyond, galaxies beyond out concepts of selling out, immune, teflon coated against any criticism due to her high priestess status.  Does she even know what’s carried out in her name?  Does she even care?  She’s made of evil magic, and served by an army of [...]
