Emerging Artist

Tweet Premature artists are the next big thing! Emerging Artist explores contemporary culture’s obsession with the newest, freshest thing. Extreme youth. Pregnancy. Kim Kardashian’s unborn baby North, MTV’s Teen Mom, every cover of US Weekly; it’s practically a movement. Our desire for younger and younger artists is insatiable and growing as mothers in Williamsburg cradle their newborns to classes for ‘young artists’ ages 0–6 months—while artists at 30 ask, Am I too old?

Rabbit is Rich | Bryan Dooley

Rabbit is Rich Bryan Dooley May 9th – June 15th, 2013 Rod Barton, London EC1 A subtle masc energy wafts through Bryan Dooley’s new solo show at Rod Barton. A kind of high-testosterone, enlightened bisexual vibe — where wooden prayer bead sashes, deconstructed from car seats, are worn by commercial imagery of luxury cars, log cabins, and avocados. QB: “180 timber right, green sight stack, haze. Rubbin taper!!! …………….SNAP!” Coach: “Shiit, keep it moot-able!”

Benvenuti a Palazzo Peckham!

Out of a conversation in Peckham, comes Palazzo Peckham! The Palazzo doesn’t claim to represent the people of Peckham, neither all the artists working there. The use of Peckham represents art-communities needs for a place. It could be exchanged for any district on the edge of a city that hosts a young generation of artists living and working together. Conversation in this community has moved online, artwork can be out-sourced for fabrication and delivery to… [read more »]

Dry Wipe & The Universal Addressability of Dumb Things

Mark Leckey’s latest curatorial effort at the Nottingham Contemporary pulls together objects new and old. In The Universal Addressability of Dumb Things, he mixes the history of technology with the ubiquitous reality of digital objects.

FREE COOPER UNION!

In the Art School Issue, we began to examine emerging issues surrounding the curriculum, cost, and administration of schools around the globe. Today, these issues have come to a head, and it isn’t pretty: Cooper Union, a school that has been free for 154 years, has announced that it will begin charging tuition to new students in 2014. The students of Cooper Union have since occupied the school, and are calling for President Bharucha’s resignation.… [read more »]

Everyone’s Knocking Off Angel Barta!

J’ACCUSE! Angel Barta––notable fashion blog comment section socialite––has launched a social media campaign alleging that Marc Jacobs has been copying design ideas from her. The following comparison pics, taken from her blog, make a convincing argument. What do u think?

It’s Tan Mom, Bitch!

UPDATE: The official Tan Mom music video is here! BUT… she’s not very tan, is she? Summer is coming, and it’s time for that base tan. We’re loving superstar ‘Tan Mom’ Patricia Krentcil’s new song. In it she mocks the benefits of skin care: “A message to use protection from the sun, Ha Ha Ha,” and claims to be hotter than Octomom (definitely not true). TMZ has the exclusive: Unfortunately your browser does not support… [read more »]

JON RAFMAN | Annals of Time Lost

The conversation surrounding the presentation and archival of new media art has often revolved around the issues facing curators and historians as they struggle to bring older works to newer formats; in Annals of Time Lost, Jon Rafman reframes this responsibility into an opportunity: A COPEX LD75D microfiche reader displays Rafman’s New Age Demanded, a series of busts rendered from 3D models; while a nearby plinth houses a 3D print of a bust from the… [read more »]

Did you have fun at Art Dubai with Lauren Devine? …While you two were held up at customs, we had our eye on Abdullah Al-Mutairi’s new work at the Global Art Forum, and we’re excited to post it.

An Evolving Turn

MICHAEL JONES MCKEAN In different ways, you both seem invested in discussions involving objects and images produced explicitly for our consumption – commodities that are manufactured, branded and massively marketed to us. If we pan out there is, of course, a long history of artworks using consumer-based objects and images, sprawling from the readymade, synthetic cubism, surrealist collage, arte povera, pop, neo geo and now to our extended epoch of appropriation. Yet this trajectory, leading… [read more »]
