Cool Hunting
Chris Isenberg, the creative force behind No Mas, wore a full Yankee uniform complete with stirrups and a plastic batting helmet almost every day from ages 4 to 7. Now in his early 30s, Chris' connection to pro sports is just as deep and much more complex. It will all come together at his first gallery show that opens this Friday, 21 October, at Melody Weir Gallery here in NYC. In true No Mas form, Fall Classic is a statement about fallen athletes like Rose, Tyson and Strawberry-- with whom Chris feels a sense of kinship. It's also an exploration of the intersection between sports, politics and culture.
The focus of the show will be a fantasized recreation of Chris' childhood bedroom decorated with recent works as well as creations from his childhood. Mixed in will also be some paintings by Mickey Duzyj and a selection of No Mas customized starter jackets and t-shirts.

Since we last covered the work of Marcus Tremonto, the New York-based lighting magician has been busy with a host of new projects including collaborations with the Swarovski Crystal Palace and an exhibition at Spazio Rossana Orlandi during this year's Milan Furniture Fair (images after the jump). Recently, Tremonto completed an installation for his first exhibition in Switzerland at the Franziska Kessler Gallery in...
With his keen eye for pop culture and irreverent humor, Eric Yahnker's current exhibition of highly-detailed pencil drawings and conceptual sculptures at Ambach & Rice Gallery taps into a zeitgeist also seen in the work of contemporaries like Mathew Cerletty and Karl Haendel. Posing as a serious act, it's a wink-wink-nudge-nudge approach that's unabashedly "now," sharing a sensibility with Leslie Nielsen in "Airplane" and,...
by Kelsey KeithLast week we were taken aback at NYC's Pulse Art Fair by artist Dietrich Wegner's "Playhouse," an installation shaped like a mushroom cloud and built like a tree fort covered in swaths of cotton. A study in contradiction, "Playhouse" mingled with tattooed babies and dotted light paintings in Chicago gallerist Carrie Secrist Gallery's booth. Wegner creates "images that are safe and unsettling, abject...
Adopting its name from the governmental region that includes Williamsburg, Greenpoint and East New York, Eastern District is Bushwick's latest art gallery and exhibition space, which typifies the New York art world's shifting focus. After an abbreviated Fashion Week photo show, the gallery is holding its grand opening tomorrow with "Made in Brooklyn," a exhibition from Marvel comic artist Juan Doe. Noted for illustrating...
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 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...
