DIS week: Beyoncé vs. The World

This week, everything happened, and nothing happened. Before 12:43 AM last night, I thought that the most relevant thing to happen this week was the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. But boy. was. I. so. incredibly. absolutely. WRONG. Because this morning, while all the basics were sleeping, Beyoncé went ahead and released “Beyoncé” (what else would it be called?) – a 2 part album featuring 14 music tracks, and 17 music videos. It was then and there in… [read more »]

PREMIERE | Felicita – “Doves”

London-based multimedia artist Felicita hits us with a follow up to the ridiculous R&B of “n my teeth”. Or was it called “climb up eh”? The video is unabashedly saccharine, and quite literally so. And the music is equal parts sublime pop and confusingly experimental. oh hey u got a mineral smile an a tangerine twinkle ure veins are blood orange an I’m thinkin u wanna come see me? take some vitamin C wi me?… [read more »]

DIS week: Less Art, More Basil

Are you having like the *best* time at Art Basel? I bet you totes are. This is what was going on everywhere else but Miami: Sex, Drugs & The Chosen Ones: Esquire says that we should all not sleep, have more sex, and take more drugs because thats what all the smart people do anyways. Right. Because I love taking advice that sounds like it came from the same creepy guys who yell at me… [read more »]

Bloomberg New Contemporaries

UK’s many higher education institutions graduate thousands of fine art students annually, of which only a very small percentage manage to get picked up by a gallery, break into the (local, national or global) art market and make a living. Already filled with anxieties of peer-comparisons and the amount of followers of their Tumblr portfolios, these barely matured artists are confronted with a largely excluding cultural sector, and for many, the dream of becoming a… [read more »]

DIS week: Maybe This Is Love

Did you watch that lady gaga muppet special thing? Neither did I. Here are some other things I don’t care about this week: Black Friday: Happy Black Friday! Which in itself is an oxymoron, but whatever. Hope you got that thing you wanted for that really good price. Hope it was worth it standing in the cold holding that sad latte while I was inside on my 4th serving of pumpkin pie. Hope all your… [read more »]
