Abe Lincoln Jr.'s first solo show, "Taqueria Pendejo (El Sabor De Caca)," opens December 1st at the Orchard Street Art Gallery in New York City.
Best known for his street art, this show features his first installation, an "authentic" fast-food taqueria, which includes tasty "Super Pendejo Meals." The concept starts on the street, where "menus" are distributed, and includes new vector work, hand-rendered work, and t-shirt designs.
The show opens December 1st (Kidrobot is throwing the opening party and giving away toys to the first 50 people there) and runs through January 6th at the Orchard Street Gallery, 139 Orchard Street in New York. Open Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 - 7:00 p.m. and weekdays by appointment. Call +1 (917) 682-6753 for more information.

In New York this weekend? Don't miss this fascinating installation at Rare Gallery through Saturday. Chris Larson's massive sculpture, entitled PAUSE, is a full-size representation of the Dukes of Hazzard '69 Dodge Charger crashing into the Unabomber's cabin -- two metaphors for lawlessness converging in time and space and providing at least one interpretation of today's geopolitical climate. Rare Gallery 521 West 26th Street...
"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...
Another experiment in reinventing the screen, New York-based sculptor Reed Barrow's LED chandelier, dubbed "Monument to an Amaranth," functions as a 360 degree display, playing a 12-minute video loop of abstract imagery. The teched-out fixture is a departure from Reed's other recent work, which tends toward absurd cultural interpretations (like a life-size werewolf sleeping in the web of a phosphorescent dream-catcher). Monument also has...
by Naomi Nevitt While the Lower East Side has savored its fair share of hype over the past few years—from the rebellious beginnings as a skate-punk mecca to its recent emergence as a blue chip design destination—the area south of Delancey has always been somewhat on the cusp of the real action. But with the recent opening of the New Museum, i.e.: the area's new...
This weekend Ami and I got to check out You, Urs Fischer's installation at Gavin Brown's Enterprise. (Click images for detail.) The piece is an eight-foot deep crater measuring about 38x30 feet dug within the pristine white walls of the gallery. According to New York Magazine the pit took a ten days to build and cost about $250,000 using a jackhammer to remove the...
The Tate Modern always does an incredible job of reinventing their Great Turbine Hall with large, encompassing installations and with Doris Salcedo's "Shibboleth" they may have outdone themselves. Stretching imagination and the definition of sculpture and installation itself, Salcedo created a subterranean crack in the floor that stretches 584 feet across the entire length of the Hall. The upshot is a jagged abyss that...
