Cool Hunting
A few weeks ago Creative Time curator Peter Eleey explained that we generally look to art for a transformative experience when he was telling me about the concept behind the group show “Strange Powers,” which opens today 19 July 2006 and runs through 17 September 2006. The works that Eleey and co-curator Laura Hoptman chose for "Strange Powers" are imbued with many more forms of spellbinding magical powers than traditional art, hopefully lending a supernatural experience to visiting the show. Including art by James Lee Byars, Sophie Calle and Fabio Balducci, The Center for Tactical Magic, Peter Coffin, Jennifer Cohen, Anne Collier, Trisha Donnelly, Douglas Gordon, Jim Lambie, Euan Macdonald, Jonathan Monk, Senga Nengudi, Paul Pfeiffer, and Eva Rothschild, among others, tonight I will suspend my disbelief and venture into the exhibition—and leave with my free Hex Spell sticker (courtesy of the Center for Tactical Magic) and maybe a bit more faith.

If artist Duke Riley was born in Ye Olde Days, he would have sailed the world discovering new lands and cultures. Or maybe he would have been a tattooist working on the edge of society covering sailors with anchors and other types of flash. (He founded Cherry Bomb Tattoo.) But, obsessed with circumnavigating the Island of Manhattan, he makes do studying the history of...
Tomorrow multi-talented Hungarian-American artist Rita Ackermann celebrates the release of "Under Pressure from 2006 - 2007," a new collection of her collages and installation work. With an extensive curriculum of projects and exhibitions (if you've been to the NYC bar Max Fish, you've seen some of her work in the stained-glass windows), the book itself is a forty-page, full-color, over-sized publication of her mixed media...
Artist, athlete, and activist Vanessa Chakour's abstract artwork is a vivid display of her stream of consciousness on canvas. With bold colors and shapes, her curious pieces are harmonious but come about through the chaotic interaction of an evolving sense of self and artistic expression. Her first one-woman exhibition entitled "Innerscapes" opens tonight at the Ambrosia Gallery in New Rochelle, NY. Innerscapes Opening reception:...
We're always fascinated when the surreal and the practical intersect. That would explain our past delight with Blendie, a blender that responds to growling noises and is included in the upcoming group show, Untethered. Opening at Eyebeam next week in Manhattan the exhibit is promises a myriad of creative curiosities. With 15 artists on display, this season's offerings include a a photocopier that reads...

She has become a mainstay at the likes of Deitch, MoMA and the Brooklyn Museum of Art, however her latest project might be her biggest yet. With the backing of Deitch, Swoon recently launched "Swimming Cities of...
For years I've been completely in love with Walton Ford's meticulously detailed watercolors of animals, so you might imagine that I was practically giddy to see his new work now on view at Paul Kasmin Gallery. On first glance Ford's paintings might be mistaken for 19th century nature illustrations, but beyond the flawlessly rendered historical aspect of the paintings, the images often integrate both...
