And that’s just the approach to the conclusion of the interview. I think this is actually one of his more focused interviews/rants, and his general notions are more clear/less distracted here than anywhere else I can think of. There’s a whole performance after the interview… Jonathan Messe is a spellcaster, a contemporary art conjurer [...] Tonight Gateway: Japan opens at the Torrance Art Museum, a gathering of Japanese and American artists curated by Yuko Wakaume, Ei Kibukawa and Max Presneill. Among the American artists in the show, three of them, Jocelyn Foye, Macha Suzuki and Devon Tsuno number amongst my favourite people and artists. I spent yesterday previewing [...] Yoshimura Masunobu, a founder of the Neo-Dada Organizers, has died. I do not know if he is a victim of the earthquake or if he has simply passed away. He was a key figure in the Anti-Art movement and took part in the seminal Yomiuri Independent Exhibitions that shaped avant garde art in [...] 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. My prom involved rocking the world’s most fabulous, glam pants only to end up double booked at my table, left with no seat or food for me and my lady, being tailed by a hotel detective and discovering that the Poorman was the DJ. I doubt I was in the building for more [...] Annoying Sound Warning! The video below is accompanied by what I can only imagine is the rejected soundtrack from Atari’s ET: The Extraterrestrial II or something of equal quality. It will loop and repeat itself for the entire 10:43 of the video, so I strongly suggest turning off your speakers before you hit play. [...] 818 photographs of the New York Jazz scene, 1938-1948, courtesy of photographer Down Beat magazine photographer William P. Gottlieb, via the Library of Congress. There’s a total of 1600 in the archive, and they’re adding more to Flickr each month, so if this tunes your piano, keep checking back for more. Everyone is [...] Things have been too quiet on the Murakami front lately. The above video, Akihibara Majokko Princess, somehow fills the empty space between his colossal (and totally premature) MOCA retrospective and whatever will come next from the knockoff handbag inspirer and lord of Japanese pop. In the video, commissioned by Murakami and directed by [...] Been a bit of a busy week for the arts in LA, eh? February 4-7 Actions, Conversations and Intersections @ Municipal Arts Gallery. A host of events are taking place daily as part of this project. Check out the February 4-7 schedule on their site for lots to do all weekend. Of particular [...] As always Jonathan Meese speaks for himself (and in all likelihood, for only himself). Uploaded by YouTuber AnuBobby in 2008, these videos represent an incomplete record of a Valentine’s Day performance (or lecture, perhaps) that I presume was related to Meese’s 2008 show, General Sweetie, at Galerie Mirchandandi + Steinruecke in Mumbai. Only parts [...] |
