WWWorld Click | Aftertaste

Is this really only the second installment of WWWorld Click? Yes, it’s. I’ve recently relocated to a new… um, location. Time literally moves more slowly here; there’s more time to work and more time to waste. There’s also more time for browsing. Here’s are some recent web developments from around the globe.

In New York, there’s no better look on a guy than when he’s just come from the barber. Unfortunately the crispiness goes away after a day or even a few hours. No longer! Monira Al Qadiri reports that, from where she sits in Kuwait, “Airbrush Beards Are All The Rage.” Indeed; and one that leaves François Sagat’s tattoo’d cranium in the dust. There’s a 7aboob joke with a “blowing” innuendo there somewhere, but my cat’s trying to jump out to our balcony so… one sec.

Back. Okay, what the fanfic is going on here? The Jonas Brothers sandwiching Marc Jacobs’s gay porn actor boyfriend, Harry Louis? Where is The Other One? (Answer: at home dragging this photo to the secret j/o folder on his hard drive) What could these eyebros possibly have to talk about? This is a shanda for poor Marc; first openly sleeping with an uncircumcised goy and now homewrecking America’s most beloved family act since the Brady Bunch. Let’s just hope there’s a Falcon-sponsored whirlwind global bathhouse concert tour livestreamed on Cam4 in the works.

Okay, are we done talking about post-internet, new aesthetic, death of painting, etc.? JK Keller is shutting it down with his new iPhone oil paintings. Bodacious, sebaceous. This is the very essence of DISability, an issue we hope to explore in future feature stories.

In transfiguration news, Oliver Laric brings us the story of a UK organization “His Church” convincing government officials and corporations to donate confiscated counterfeit clothing to them. They, in turn, stitch the His Church logo right over the counterfeit logo and redistribute the garments to the homeless and other people in need. Of the project, co-ordinator Richard Humphrey says, “.” [sic] God moves in mysterious ways… even through Shanzhai anxiety.

And speaking of anxiety, we’re all in agreement that this:

is definitely the step right before this:

right? Good, I’m glad.

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 »]

Ivory Coast, 2012 I had an epiphany recently in Dubai after serendipitously wandering into the wrong club. This was The Garage, an “African” club, which friends assumed was an Ethiopian venue. Turns out it was an “Ivory Coast Night” at the club. I had previously only heard Ivory Coast pop, never club music. Yet the distinct beat was instantly recognizable. It was one of the most memorable nights of my life, musically-speaking, mainly because it’s… [read more »]

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 »]
