The Ballet: Mattachine
(22 September 2006) - I just got my copy of Mattachine, the debut CD from The Ballet. The handmade package features a simple triangular pattern printed on the disk, erotic drawings printed on a sheet of paper from a legal pad, and the liner notes suggest a very literal stemming of the rose from the attached pin. Self-proclaimed "Sissy-pop," The Ballet's debut CD features members of The Aislers...

Agora II

The performance is interactive in the modern sense of the term, in that there are videos, live drummers and flashing lights. But you also have performers that ask you to hold their...

Bonfire of the Brands
(28 August 2006) - Neil Boorman is exactly the kind of bloke you would expect to see dressed from top-to-toe in labels. As founder of the Shoreditch Twat, DJ at London club 333 and a writer for The Guardian, brands that you or I might covet, from Apple to adidas, have decorated every part of his life. Until now. You see, he's decided to burn all of his...

Cosmic Wonder
(11 July 2006) - The opening of the group show Cosmic Wonder this coming Friday, 14 July 2006, at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco signals the death (or latest high watermark depending on how you look at it) of second-wave psychedelia that's flooded contemporary art in recent years.

Things and Stuff @ KidRobot
(05 July 2006) - Tara McPherson is having a solo exhibit at KidRobot on Thursday 6 July 2006 where she'll be showing some things and stuff. What? "things and stuff" not descriptive enough for you? Well for those of you unfamiliar with her work, I guess not.

Evany Thomas
(27 June 2006) - Evany Thomas’ diary. I say “diary” because she started reporting the quotidian aspects of her life long before the blogging craze got started. (I am not being snobby, I am just telling it like it is.) She is such a witty writer and she covers topics that are close to my heart, like: shopping, cakes, lipstick, dating, the trauma and joy of freelance work, and...

Cool Hunting Video Presents: 2006 NYC Tattoo Convention
(05 June 2006) -
(05 June 2006) -
On 21 May 21 we visited the seventh annual NYC Tattoo Convention at the Roseland Ballroom in Midtown Manhattan. We captured the performance of Lucky Diamond Rich, the most tattooed person in the world and met with Spider Webb, perhaps the most rebellious tattooist in history. Spider Webb was at the forefront of the movement to legalize tattooing in New York City during it's city wide ban from 1961 to 1998. Lucky Diamond Rich has been tattooed in 45 cities by 136 international tattoo artists. We caught up with Lucky on the Lower East Side of NYC after the show and discussed the life of tattoos. The following is an episode that reveals a brief glimpse into the world of ink. Headphones are suggested but not mandatory.

The recent book New Media Art by Rhizome founder Mark Tribe and art critic Reena Jana anthologizes some of the innovative artists in the field, documenting a moment when the genre is at its apex (or over, according to some). The cast includes current new media darling...
