Anonymous: In the Future No One Will Be Famous by Ami Kealoha

Anonymousshow

With an anonymous cast of 11 international artists and a curator, the group show "Anonymous: In the Future No One Will Be Famous" opens today, 31 October 2006, at the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, embracing the flip side of Warhol's quip about 15 minutes of fame. In part a statement against the current over-inflated art market that spawns "artists as brands whose works have become masterpieces in ignorance of philosophy," the exhibit's layout also intentionally confuses the art objects with the everyday fixtures in the gallery—Duchamp-style. Edited by anonymous and Max Hollein, the catalogue includes contributions from Dominic Eichler, Stephan Heidenreich, April Elizabeth Lamm, Eckhart Nickel and Hans Ulrich Obrist and is availiable from Schirn for €20.

Tom Schmelzer: More Meat on the Bone
The work of Tom Schmelzer is unequivocally conceptual, but the actual concept is often left up for debate. His previous work has dealt explicitly with American culture, including their Commander in Chief, but his upcoming solo exhibition, "More Meat on the Bone," subsists on veiled references. Take the installation "Caught in the Line" (pictured), which incorporates three Australian parrots, three bird cages, tank targets...
Jimenez Lai
A simple description of Jimenez Lai's work is difficult. Taking architectural plans and renderings, the Ohio-based artist brings them into the world of comics, drawings and models in two- and three-dimensions. The juxtaposition exposes the absurdity of CAD in comics and comics in CAD. (Click image for detail.) This isn't the first time Jimenez Lai has been written up but now he's breaking through...
