Nicholas Kirkwood x Keith Haring on Nowness.com. Drown in the imagitivity! Oooh, the 1980′s are finally being “summed up”, thanks to the power of Swarovski crystals. Is there nothing lazy fashion designer with a bedazzler can’t do? Fashion will save and educate us! Etc… In the past day or so, The Getty has been uploading a host of short, narrated overviews of objects in its collection to its YouTube account. Some of them, like Titian’s Portrait of Alfonso d’ Avalon, Marquis of Vasto, in Armour with a Page, one of my favourite paintings in their collection, is [...] I used to hate fire extinguisher graffiti but then I realized the purity of it, the ejaculatory, infantile, primeval joy of it, and now I like it even more. There’s an inevitability in Katsu’s MOCA piece, that his tag is speaking for a lot of other writers and graffiti lovers here. Someone get [...] I recently came across Gerry Judah’s work on BLDGBLOG, and it’s nuts, totally gonzo hot painting/installation/sculpture.

Beautiful, beautiful stuff that seems right off the cover of a new wave sci-fi novel, [...] 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. [...] Matthew Thomas is on both my “favourite people” and my “favourite artists” lists. He has been both a peer and a mentor to me for most of the past decade. I’ve been lucky enough to curate a mini retrospective of his work for Angels Gate. I’m not usually keen on two kinds of [...] David Ng at the LA Times, I am in your debt. Seriously, show up at my house and demand a six pack anytime you like. According to Ng, Hollywood writer Steve Melcher started This Is Priceless, a blog that combines classic paintings and humorous one-liner titles. It’s like Ziggy for the terminal degree set. [...] |
