AfterModern: Out of Doors

The book, edited by Katie and Eric, is a collection of essays...
Laughing Bike
(08 December 2005) - Another highlight from the Basel weekend (yes, updates are still coming) was Soundbike, an art project by Jessica Thompson. Basically, a fleet of bikes was outfitted to emit laughter when the rider pedals. The faster the pedaling, the louder and more hysterical the laughter. In addition to being a lot of fun, I though her piece was a perfect little statement on the art...
ITP Winter Show
(08 December 2005) - Mark your calendars because next Sunday and Monday is the Interactive Telecommunications Program Winter Show. The student work presented will include interactive art and sound, assistive technology, wireless devices and physical installations. ITP is a fantastic program that pushes the boundaries of technology mediated interactive experiences. It's also near and dear because some of us here at CH (myself included) graduated from there or...
White Walls "Untitled" Show
(08 December 2005) - The opening reception for the White Walls Gallery show "Untitled" starts tonight. The group show features artists: Caleb Neelon, Sylvia Ji, Ogi, Sage Vaughn, and Anthony Yankovic III. If you don't live in SF, poo for you.

Cool Hunting Video Presents: Art Basel Recap
(06 December 2005) - A Recap of this year’s Art Basel/Miami Beach including Art Positions and the Miami Beach Convention Center....
Scope Art Fair
(05 December 2005) - Scope presented as impressive a show as we've come to expect from their fairs. I appreciate the economics of including smaller galleries and less expensive work (the kind I can actually afford to buy), though I prefer a tent or hall to the difficult to navigate, overcrowded rooms and hallways of a hotel. The 70+ galleries from around the world presented works by some...
hoLAnda 2005
(02 December 2005) - It might seem like the current focus of everyone's attention is on Art Basel, but across the Atlantic, the second bi-annual exhibition of Latin American design, hoLAnda, runs through 4 December in Amsterdam. Held in the restored Posthoorn church and organized by the Amsterdam-based Latin American Design Foundation the main event includes premiere designers like Mexico-based Bala Studio's Jetson-esque funerary urn (pictured, above right)...

There is so much great art and...
Art Basel: Grand Opening
(01 December 2005) - Now in its 4th year on Miami Beach, Art Basel opened doors last night to an eager crowd of collectors, dealers, artists and press. The main event is at the Convention Center, but the overwhelming popularity of Basel has resulted in many outcroppings of art all over Miami and Miami Beach. After the jump are some shots of work (both old and new) we...
Chucks by FactoryPeople and Youth of Tomorrow
(24 November 2005) - Austin City Limits puts on the ACL Festival every September, and Factory People is the social hub of the event, with many of the bands dropping by the shop to buy new tour clothes, take a turn on their DJ setup, or just hang out. This year Factory People asked Youth of Tomorrow to create a unique item for an installation at their big...

The concept starts on the street, where "menus" are distributed, and includes new vector work, hand-rendered work,...
Cut and Paste Winner
(22 November 2005) - Lines stretched out the door last Saturday for the Cool Hunting-sponsored Cut and Paste design competition held at M1-5 in NYC. Inside, attendees crowded the room to witness a "design off" that pitted eight premiere New York designers against each other in three judged tournament-style rounds. Winner Alisa Suthayali (see Default) is a designer at 2x4 and won with her “Hearts and Bars Badge”...

Slater Bradley at Taka Ishii Gallery

Titled Uncharted Settlements III and running through 10 December, the subject of the snapshot-like photos add a geek culture edge to Bradley's exploration of themes like youthful obsession, fandom, impersonation, and...
Trendwatching Seminar
(11 November 2005) - As you know, Cool Hunting is a daily update on things we like. Despite the name, we don't report on trends. Yesterday I (along with Spear and others in the blogosphere) experienced one of Reinier Evers' Trendwatching seminars. I've been a subscriber of the Trendwatching.com newsletter for years, but this was the first seminar I've attended. If you're in need of a quick, high-impact...
Deptford X
(09 November 2005) - This year's conceptual premise of Deptford X, a loose collection of exhibitions and events in and around Deptford in South London, explores how we engage with the temporality of cities, in both real and imagined ways. Running through November 27th, the 7th annual art fest includes exhibits like Turner prize shorlisted artist Simon Starling's "Cracked Teapot (Wagenfeld), 2005" a billboard featuring the classic German...
Wacom Cintiq
(09 November 2005) - As you may remember, we're sponsoring the Wacom Cintiq-- competitors will be on stage drawing on these LCD tablets which are big enough (21") for the audience to see the work in progress. I dropped by the motion graphics firm UV/Phactory earlier this week to get a demo of the Cintiq and was pretty blown away. The screen is crisp and clear, the surface...

(13 October 2005) - McSweeney's, the youthful bi-coastal publishing house, is one of the more prolific enterprises out there, having put out dozens of books, a quarterly journal, and monthly magazine The Believer, all within the last few years. Not the least of their accomplishments is the non-profit 826 program that originated in their San Francisco space and offers writing workshops and tutoring for grade school-age kids. 826...
Sneaker Pimps Pics
(07 October 2005) - If you were unable to get past the log jam at the door to Sneaker Pimps, or if you just weren't in town, following are some pics from the event. The biggest so far, last night's NYC tour stop featured all sorts of crazy custom, limited edition kicks and an array of live performances. ...
