Cool Hunting
A one-night only art show, Stacks features works by 21 emerging artists all working within the same parameter—a cube. Stacked to create a collectively-curated "Exquisite Corpse meets totem poles," the cubes are made from a variety of materials, and range in style from "defiantly poetic to graphically visionary." Though there's no word on the artists yet, works are affordably priced from $50-$500. Curated by Nathan Pickett, check out Stacks at Josée Bienvenu Gallery on Sunday, 15 October 2006. From it's New York debut, the show will then travel to other locations, each stop inspiring a different arrangement of the cubes and creating a new perspective on the work.

"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...
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...
Galeria Fortes Vilaça, one of São Paulo's most important galleries (which represents such art heavyweights as Os Gemeos and Vik Muniz), is breaking in its new Galpão Fortes Vilaça archival space this weekend with an internationally studded group show called "God Is Design" curated by P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center's Neville Wakefield. The curator took cue from the industrial design of the building to inspire...
This time around we chose to cover the Whitney Biennial with help from the museum's exhibition designer, Mark Steigelman. Last week's video on Olaf Breuning included a glimpse of his Biennial installation at the Park Avenue Armory (an off-site component that's new this year) and this episode is a select survey of the works by the 50-odd artists showing at the Whitney. Mark explains the...
One would think a life out in Arizona would produce imagery of arid deserts and funny little plants that grow under such conditions. But Joe Sorren's paintings speak of hope, innocence and another world, with the bright sun rising high into the clouds over an endless ocean of dreams. Sorren's new painting "In the Morning, in the Tide," will show at Alix Sloan's new...
"In Effect," another well-curated exhibition by the good folks at OKOK Gallery opens tomorrow and features new works and a collaboration from Diem Chau and Jen Stark, who both use common materials and turn them into subversive and sometimes hypnotizing works. Apparently we have a collective infatuation with the art of paper cutting, if our videos on Chen Hang Feng and Tom Gallant are...
