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.

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...
by Laurice Parkin The video art of Saskia Olde Wolbers is transfixing to watch not only for the dreamlike fluidity accompanied by surreal narrative, but also to see the intensely complex handmade models that the artists films. These miniature sets combine both the architectural space and uniquely constructed parts to bring the artist's imaginative landscape to life. Unpopulated and desolate, the worlds are beautiful, strange...
"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...
After exhibiting up and down the eastern seaboard, Brooklyn-based sculptor Mark Andreas has crossed the East River to make his Manhattan debut. Andreas' Reactive Sculpture Series includes the hulking 400-pound Seed Spreader (pictured), an intimidating machine equipped with three-foot spinning blades. It brilliantly expresses the fear associated with the industrialization of mass food production that, in the words of the artist, “conceptually speaks to...
Fans of Pee Wee’s Playhouse, RAW and SLASH magazines and the comic character Jimbo know and love the work of Gary Panter. You probably know it too, having seen his “jagged lines and surreal cartoons” in magazines, on TV and on the internet too. “Pictures from the Psychedelic Swamp: 1972 – 2001” a micro-mini retrospective of thirty years of drawings, sculptures, painting and installations...
Since bursting onto the scene eight years ago as one of the hottest young photographers in town, Ryan McGinley continues to produce enduring images that focus on the energy and enthusiasm of youth. In his latest show entitled "I Know Where the Summer Goes" (a title taken from an early B-side by Belle and Sebastian), McGinley continues to move from his original casual snapshot-style...
