Cool Hunting
Who: 22 young artists
What: A touring exhibit of their work (one per artist). Highlights include the incredibly detailed, 2" pencil drawing by Randall Sellers (above left), a luxurious watercolor by Charlene Liu (above right), and the most beautiful tree you've ever seen cut out of a McDonald's bag (after the jump), by Yuken Teruya. This year's collection has sculpture, video, paintings and drawings.
Where: The New Museum of Contemporary Art/Chelsea in New York City, through October 29th, 2005.
Why: When good things come out of marketing meetings. This is the seventh show in the Altoids series. Every year they nominate a group to curate work from emerging artists, send it around the country, and then bring it to the New Museum, where the entire collection has been donated. Props to Altoids for supporting young artists instead of Nascar.

"Actus Reus" is the debut solo exhibition of Tamara Kostianovsky, an Israeli artist raised in Argentina and currently living in Brooklyn. The show consists of life-sized animal carcasses painstakingly reconstructed using second-hand clothing, which are all former pieces from the artist's actual wardrobe. The patchwork constructions adopt a remarkably grotesque quality, hanging from meat hooks in an antiseptic gallery space. The exhibition's Latin title...
Wangechi Mutu’s new show “Little Touched” at Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects is so complete and polished that it feels more like walking into a museum than a gallery. Originally from Kenya, Mutu’s work focuses on the constant exploration and discovery of identity as a woman, immigrant and African in New York City. Known for her lyric collages like “A’gave you” (pictured right), this...
