Cool Hunting
The NYC-based artist Ryan McGinness, known for his graphic-inspired art, is a super busy guy. He has every day scheduled until mid-2010 — just thinking about his numerous upcoming shows and books, all due out by year's end, leaves us exhausted. (Click images for detail; see gallery details after the jump.)
Last week, McGinness opened a solo show in Milan, "A Shadow Feeling of Loss," at Paolo Curti & Annamaria Gambuzzi & Co. and his first show in Toronto, "Aesthetic Comfort" at Artcore/Fabrice Marcolini, which includes his new work that will be shown in black light. Then parts of that show including the fluorescent seen in black light move to the Cincinnati Art Museum 25 October 2008 for an expanded-upon version of "Aesthetic Comfort."
Then towards the end of November, McGinness will have a show simultaneously shown in Hong Kong and Seoul, “No Sin/No Future” at CAIS Gallery.
You may not be able to get to any of these great shows, but you can get a piece of the action, as two Ryan McGinness books are being produced in conjunction with the shows. One is a limited edition soft cover artist book that goes with his Aesthetic Comfort exhibitions printed in fluorescent orange, yellow, pink, and green. The other is a collection of snapshots, sketches, notes, and scans that is a compendium to the No Sin/No Future at CAIS Galleries in Seoul and Hong Kong.

Marked by eerie, nightmarish imagery, the work of Alfred Kubin seems awfully appropriate on Halloween. The Austrian artist mined the depths of the human subconscious to craft some of the most enduringly spectral drawings, watercolors and lithographs. The recently-released monograph "Graphic Works 1897-1910" accompanies the retrospective by the same name that is currently on display at the Neue Galerie New York, which focuses on...
The celebrated Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky recently published a new book called "Quarries," which is also currently featured at London gallery Flowers Central. After his 2005 book on China, which looked at many aspects of their industrialized society and the 2006 award-winning documentary "Manufactured Landscapes," Burtynsky narrowed his focus to a very specific type of man-made landscape. The subject explores the scars left by...
Producing work that is wildly imaginative and meticulously realized, the Brazilian artist known as Bruno 9Li is the latest of the Rojo Magazine group to publish his own monographic book. Entitled Agora Eterno, the book's release is being paired with a month-long solo exhibit, Tormenta, being held in his hometown at the brand new Sao Paulo branch of Rojo's Artspace. The theme encompassing the...
Shek Kip Mei Estate, Hong Kong's oldest public housing estate, is composed of 100 rooms, each closet-like in size at only 100 square feet and built in response to a devastating fire in the 1950s that left thousands homeless. In a new series of photographs called "100 x 100," Michael Wolf captures the residents of this housing complex who are almost enveloped by the...
An exhibition of photographs from Michael Wolf's new book, Hong Kong: front door / back door opens today at Colette in Paris and runs through 3 December. Having lived in China for over 10 years, the book is Wolf's third monograph that takes the country as its subject and his images reflect both his intimacy with the city and an objective journalist's eye. The...
