I was listening this weekend to ‘On The Media’, one of my favorite radio shows, and heard this piece about artist Caleb Larsen and a recent sculpture of his entitled ‘A Tool To Deceive And Slaughter (2009)’.  The sculpture is an 8 inch black acrylic cube.  The cube is for sale on ebay.  Actually, it is [...]

I just last weekend went with some friends to the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum.  I hadn’t been there in several years so when I received their invitation I figured it was high time I went for another run-through.  In retrospect… my time would have been better spent doing something else.  With the friends of course.
I [...]

My creativity was weened on years of Star Wars obsession.  How can you be a kid in the 80’s and not love Chewbacca??  I also think Hello Kitty could be the cutest thing on the planet.  I couldn’t resist exploring this convergence of science fiction and cuteness.

If you are a guy you were most probably once a boy.  And if you remember anything about being a boy you probably remember having to defend yourself from other boys (unless you were the one on the attack).  On the playground your friends (and even those you did not consider friends) would try out [...]

I just finished watching Waltz With Bashir.  Better late than never.  I really liked it.  Waltz With Bashir is the 2008 film by Ari Folman documenting an episode in the 1982 Lebanon War.  It is autobiographical in that the storyline follows Folman as he tries to reconstruct his lost memories of involvement in that incident.  The event in question was [...]

I know I am late to this party but Danziger Projects is currently showing an exhibit of Andy Warhol Polaroids titled, ‘Greatness; Andy Warhol Polaroids of Sports Champions’.  Currently hanging in Danziger’s 534 West 24th Street gallery, the exhibit features sports stars such as Muhammad Ali, O.J. Simpson, Pele and John McEnroe.  Most of the champions [...]

I just ran through the exhibit ‘Bauhaus 1919-1933: Workshops for Modernity’ at MoMA.  Unfortunately all I could manage was a quick visit.  One of the perils of visiting MoMA during a weekday, even at lunch, is the possibility of it being overrun with masses of super-sugared sixth graders on a class trip.  With a generous helping of European tourists [...]

I saw Wong Kar Wai’s ‘In The Mood For Love’ for the first time while living in London in 2007.  I just re-watched it tonight as we noticed that it was showing on PBS. 
What.  A.  Film.
I immediately was reminded of what a masterpiece of filmmaking this movie is.  Wong Kar Wai is nothing short of a genius.  [...]

The Beastie Boys were one of the reasons I wanted to move to New York City.  Them, the Talking Heads, Sonic Youth, Andy Warhol and well… lots of other reasons (if people can be ‘reasons’).  But the Beastie Boys are up there.  Actually back in the early months of 2002 I found myself unemployed and [...]

Andy has done it again.  Hot painting of the moment ‘200 One Dollar Bills’  (1962) sold at Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Evening Auction last night for US$43,762,500. Over three times the high estimate of $12 million.  The New York Times article about the sale describes five collectors in competition for the piece.  The painting is a [...]
