Mike Harte and Jamie Shovlin: Bourbon Joy by Jacob Resneck
While the rest of us nurse our heads and livers in post-St. Patrick's Day convalescence, British artists Mike Harte and Jamie Shovlin will unveil the fruits of their week-long bourbon binge. For the past week, Harte has been furiously painting in the company of his magnanimous compatriot, Shovlin. Both have been plowing through a bottle of bourbon per evening to create a seven-piece exhibition to be unveiled 18 March 2009.
While Harte is the one doing the painting, it's renowned prankster Shovlin who provides whiskey and amoral support—leading both men to take credit (and blame) for the outcome of a week of bourbon-and-paint.

The Live! Show
The year was 1979. Cable television had just broken the big three television networks' stranglehold in America when Jaime Davidovich began appearing on boob tubes across New York City. Appearing every week on "The Live! Show," Davidovich developed the character Dr. Videovich, a satirical television psychologist who claimed to treat TV addiction. The show featured fake advertisements for Videovich's treatments and products as well...

Faile: Lost in Glimmering Shadows
by Ariston Anderson For London street art fans, the must see-show this week is Faile's "Lost in Glimmering Shadows," as they bring their inimitable prints and paintings across the Atlantic. The art collective's London show last year, "From Brooklyn with Love," sold out instantly, and led to an invitation from the TATE Modern Gallery to invite them to paint their exterior this past May.

Giles Round at ICA
Native Londoner Giles Round creates sculptures and assemblages that resemble the confounding models of a minimalist stage set designer and his work is currently being shown at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts. Rectilinear frames evoke the woodwork of Donald Judd, twisting in space to create volumes into which he introduces monochromatic panels, lights and typographic studies. Like other minimalist artists before him, Round appropriates...
