Ernesto Neto’s installation in Paris

I never thought i’d ever have any reason to go to the Pantheon in Paris. Today i did. Ernesto Neto has a very impressive installation under its dome until December 31.
Called Leviathan Thot, the work recalls the sea monster from the Book of Job.
The gossamer-thin and stretchable fabrics are hanging (and slowly bouncing when you […]

Artissima: the new media art-y

Fabio Paris Art Gallery (from Brescia, Italy) was showing a couple of nice works at Artissima, such as Space LED, by Tonylight (see previous post.) My favourite piece at the booth was an eerie picture of a guy i though i’d recognized. He was dressed in white and was cautiously walking in the greenest fields […]

Andres Serrano at the PAC, Milan

Yesterday evening i visited Salt on the Wound, an exhibition of some of most significant works of American photographer Andres Serrano, at the Padiglione d’Arte Contemporanea in Milan.
It’s very hard to ignore Serrano’s work. He’s been spending the last decade(s) shocking the world with photographs that use semen, that depict a masturbating nun or Jesus […]

Artissima: Bruno Peinado

I don’t like everything Bruno Peinado creates. But when i do, i spam all my friends with images of his work. Now it’s your turn, you’re my friend too:
At Artissima, he had several pieces, the only one i really dug is Untitled, Vanity Flight Case, a giant disco ball-like skull that was slowly spinning and […]

Artissima, the pretty gizmos

Artissima, the art fair that closed yesterday in Turin, was even more recreative than the last edition i attended (two years ago.) Best moments (ex-aequo): buying for peanuts art magazines i’ll never find the time to leaf through and catching hilarious snippets of conversations all over the venue: “The problem with contemporary art is that […]

The Marshmallow Show, a one-night private viewing and auction of works this Sunday by Gregory Siff promises to be “an evening of beauty, madness, love and junkfood.” The event will feature 37 new works by Siff, including the delightful junk food water colors shown here. The works will be auctioned to benefit […]

The Septemberists

The Septemberists, artist Anthony Goicolea’s film mythologizing the creation of Thom Browne’s Spring/Summer 2007 collection, is as neo-18th century Americana as the suits themselves. Gorgeously-shot by Brooklyn-based cinematographer Brian Rigney Hubbard over five days on a farm in Massachusetts, the story follows a cadre of young men through the lush landscape as they pick cotton, […]

Steve Powers: Street Art

Do you really need a white cube to show art? Is a great painting sitting on a street corner still a great painting? Can someone make something new happen in an art world where everybody has seen everything already?
Steve Powers, armed with enough gallery and museum credentials to stuff a resume (he’s a graffiti writer, […]
