Cheol Yu Kim by Josh Rubin
Cheol Yu Kim (above) is a Korean artist who's work is currently being shown at the CUE Art Foundation. His drawings and watercolors combine incredible skill with abstracted imagery of flying and swimming things. The work is hieroglyphic in style and suggests the elaborate stories of a child's imagination. Aside from the new Richard Serra Torqued Ellipses (below) at the Gagosian, this was the best art I saw all weekend. The Serra pieces were mind blowing, as usual. This series just keeps getting better with each iteration.

Bas Louter: Dust (Asphault)
Currently on display at the Ambach & Rice gallery in Seattle's artsy neighborhood of Ballard is a collection of works from Amsterdam-based artist Bas Louter. Louter uses ink and charcoal to create a chiaroscuro effect for his works, which conflate historical characteristics and imagined futures to suggest an adventure into an unknown destination—explaining the latter portion of the exhibition's title. The initial word, Dust,...

Bill McMullen: Hype, Hustle, Rip-Off
Bill McMullen is so — I hate to use the word — creative. Widely known as one of the Beastie Boys' graphic designers (we're talking "Hello Nasty" and beyond here), he is also well known for his limited edition "action" figures which were sold at Kidrobot while they lasted. Some people remember the sick designs he did for the seminal skate store, SWISHNYC, while others...

Mr.: Nobody Dies
Currently on view at Lehmann Maupin in New York, Japanese artist and Kaikai Kiki collaborator Mr. is presenting his first foray into film with "Nobody Dies," a 35-minute short about a group of adolescent Japanese girls who partake in a paintball riddled war game of capture-the-flag. Carefully toeing the line between perversion and commentary, the film is a continuation of the artist's investigation into...
