Cool Hunting
Blaine Fontana (you may remember him from a Scion) will be having his very first solo exhibit on the east coast, opening this evening in the city of brotherly love—Philadelphia. As his largest installation show to date, it will feature original paintings, graphite drawings, two brand new limited edition lithograph prints as well as the first eight of his Nestkeeper figurines. So if you heading to Old City tonight for First Friday, stop by the Lineage Gallery to have a gander at his new body of work, although somewhat ostentatiously titled, The Manifest Soup Transcripts of Four Corners. He'll be at the opening reception from 7-10pm. Perhaps some kind brotherly Philly resident will be generous enough to bring him a bottle of Yuengling to congratulate and welcome him. The show will be up thru 8 October, but for those not able to make it to Philadelphia, check out his website for a list of where he'll be thru July 2007.

I'd never heard of Steven and Billy Blaise Dufala, two brothers producing art together under the moniker Dufala Brothers, until yesterday when Amy Adams, director of Fleisher/Ollman Gallery in Philadelphia, sent me a couple of jaw-dropping images of their recent work. Now I'm contemplating a day trip to Philly just to see their installation. "Long Runner" (below) and "Special Air Mission 28000" (right), are both...
Blurring, compositing and distorting figures of Shaolin monks in traditional Kung Fu stances, artist duo Justin Guariglia and Zoe Chen's recent photographic work interprets the spiritual and more metaphysical sides of the 1500+ year-old practice. Their show "Qì," opening this Friday at Gallery 339 in Philadelphia, is the culmination of the pair's collaborative efforts on the subject. Featuring black and white images of figures...
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...
by Ariston Anderson Street artist Banksy makes breaking the rules an artform, but his current exhibit, a legal installation of over 100 pieces at Bristol's City Museum & Art Gallery is surprising even his closest followers. Playing on earlier covert stunts that targeted the Tate and MoMA, in an unusual reversal, this time the institution welcomes the anonymous artist with open arms for his...
by Ariston Anderson Artists Robi Walters and Leanne Wright joined forces after meeting in London in 1991, designing album covers for prominent underground dance labels and producers including Giles Peterson, Bebel Gilberto and Carl Craig. After moving back to Leanne's native Canada in 2004, their art began to reflect the changing nature of the music business. In their new show Bless-ed at the newly founded...
Featuring work by artists who are "altering materials and repurposing objects that prompt viewers to investigate the act of looking and perceiving," the unifying theme behind the impending group exhibition "Deviate" may be a little broad but it makes for a show that speaks to CH's penchant for the obsessively subversive. The nine artists represented take a largely conceptual approach using a diverse collection...
