Cool Hunting
Opening tomorrow in Miami and presented by local artists Team Turbo Sex, "Together For Never" is a surreal trio of giant photographs that would fit perfectly above your family's dining room table.
Alexis Mincolla, one half of Team Turbo Sex (TTS), explains that these photographs are a reflection of the notion of contemporary female friendships in Miami. The goal was "to make something that was as creepy as it was beautiful that plays off of a sort of repulsed fascination...to articulate the complex dynamic of close girlfriends and the external societal pressures that occur to them today."
TTS is made up of the self-titled "purveyor of the absurd" Alexis and accomplished Norwegian multimedia artist Stian Roenning. Their previous collaboration, "Black Sunday," uses stop-motion video to cruise through the dark side of Miami's party scene. ("DISCO'S OUT, MURDER'S IN. PARTY PARTY PARTY PARTY.") TTS conjured "Together For Never" just in time for Art Basel Miami 2008.

In early 2003, photographer and writer Tom Schutyser traveled in a West-East direction along the Silk Road documenting the sights he saw along the way. The resulting show, "Caravanserais a Metaphor," is a photographic glimpse of his journey from Iran through Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan to China, shot in black and white. Opening last week at the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture Paris Val-de-Seine in...
Photographer and CH contributing writer Jonah Samson's photographs of sex-driven miniatures on display at Seattle's G. Gibson Gallery are controversy writ small. Selected from his series "Pleasantville," the photos are part of the group exhibition entitled "View Master," featuring photographers Lori Nix and Grace Weston, who also make use of the creepy realism of dioramas in their work. Where Nix' desolate scenes suggest countless...
by Julie Wolfson A physical exegesis of the album Dark Night of the Soul, controversial filmmaker David Lynch collaborated with the album's creators—Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse—to create a two-room installation at the Michael Kohn Gallery in Los Angeles. The intermingling of the music and photos was no accident. A huge fan of Lynch, Danger Mouse approached the filmmaker about working together on a project. Lynch,...
Of the many insights to be gleaned from the upcoming exhibition at the International Center of Photography featuring the work of Richard Avedon's work from 1944-2000, I found it particularly fascinating that the photographer would forge such intense connections with his subjects that he would often leave sittings feeling embarrassed over what they shared. The show explores these intimate relationships and his many contributions...
Following the wild success of his first NYC solo show earlier this year, photographer Peter Sutherland is doing what he does best and hitting the road for an encore solo show opening at the Hope Gallery in L.A. this weekend. Sutherland, who's also a documentary filmmaker, is as interesting himself as the subjects he chooses. A Chameleon-like style—though his lumber jack beard is consistent—and...
Born and raised in a fishing camp along the banks of a muddy bayou in rural Louisiana, all the esteemed tattoo artist Scott Campbell wanted to do as a youngin' was "draw pictures all day long." That aspiration is today a reality, with the results on display not only on the bodies of some lucky individuals, but in his first major solo presentation opening...
