http://www.crggallery.com/index.php Mindy Shapero "The Infinite Truths of Flatterland" will open on Friday, October 27th Mindy Shapero will make her New York solo debut at CRG Gallery. The new sculpture and large drawings form what Shapero refers to as “The Infinite Truths of Flatterland”, a continuation of her previous exhibition “Inside the Circle Traps” at Anna Helwing Gallery last January. ----------------------------
The New Yorker (September 19, 2005) The ineptness of the response by FEMA and the U.S. government after Hurricane Katrina was an outrage to everyone who watched it unfold. The images of bodies floating unclaimed in murky waters were clear signs of the lack of care and empathy by those at the top of the government. In his cover, "Deluged," Barry Blitt turns the tables on the situation. As the Oval Office is slowly submerged, the reader gets a release that goes beyond the first laugh and unleashes the floodgates of the nation's collective anger.

Americans in Paris, 1860-1900 Opens at "Paris became the world's most beautiful metropolis in the late 19th century, and one of its most dynamic," noted Philippe de Montebello, Director of the Metropolitan Museum. "Filled with the best of the old and the new - from the Louvre's magnificent collections to Haussmann's grand boulevards - the city attracted throngs of American art students and artists. Along with their international counterparts, they found themselves plunged into a vibrant cultural milieu, a place that a Boston painter described as 'one art studio.' Although the lure of Paris for late 19th-century American artists is now widely recognized, Americans in Paris, 1860-1900 breaks new ground as the first-ever treatment of this subject in a major exhibition in leading museums"… ----------------------------
Bouroullec Floating House La Maison Flottante is a studio for resident artists of the CNEAI (National art center for print art). It's currently floating on the Seine river and is moored at the "impressionist island" in Chatou. It was conceived by the Bouroullec brothers together with architects Jean-Marie Finot and Denis Daversin. It has “an aluminum skin enveloped by a wooden trellis [that] delimits the long alcove laid onto the rectangular platform of the boat (23mx5m). Large flower pots placed on the terraces are the starting points of creepers that should invade the walls and roof. In the near future, plants will cover the whole, thus integrating the building within the landscape of the shores and providing further intimacy to the residents.”. ----------------------------
Richard Prince Presented in Cologne COLOGNE, GERMANY.- Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are proud to present in their current exhibition works by Richard Prince from the last twenty years. Already in 1988, Richard Prince’s photographic works from the early 1980s were featured in the group exhibition “Das Licht von der anderen Seite II / Fotografie” at Galerie Monika Sprüth. The photographs from his Cowboys, Desert Islands, Gangs, and Upstate series along with the Tire planters sculptures represent important aspects of Prince’s artistic production since the early 1980s. Richard Prince’s work had a major impact on the concept of ‘appropriation art’. His artistic strategy of appropriating foreign pictorial worlds can be understood as the initial spark for a generation of artists that – in the early 1980s – made the artistic discourse regarding the questions of authorship and originality of the artwork the subject of their work… :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: 10-13-06
http://beta.ldn.flavorpill.net/52722 Conrad Shawcross: No Such Thing As One Is Conrad Shawcross a failed inventor, a successful artist or both? It's difficult to tell, since most of his beautiful, sad structures are deliberately flawed machines. Pondering science's quest to reduce the universe to ever-smaller parts, a huge, mirrored arrangement of tetrahedrons spreads, fractal-like, across the gallery, while elsewhere, a complex machine spits out rope at exactly the same rate it unravels it. The ambitious, intricate "Binary Star 2006" depicts stars trapped in each other's orbits in a whirl of light and motion. For inquiring minds, there are dense mathematical explanations behind the works, but "ooh, pretty" is also a respectable response. - CA ----------------------------

I began earlier this month introducing some of the artists who show at leo Koenig gallery, Lets continue with: A looK at Torben Giehler Toben is a serious Biker. He entered a 5 day race through the Alps this past summer. Looking at the snapshots of the race from his flicker page, it strikes me that these paintings are informed not only by the by dramatic Swiss landscape but also the brightly colored spectacle that is a bike race. His latest work Gotthard Pass (pictured above right), describes what might be a route from this race. The paintings are hard edge and look like a virtual reality field that grew out of Tron but they are also very personal paintings that reflect a place and an activity close to the artists heart. Rock on Torben. ----------------------------

Dalek vs. Blacklisted EP How to describe yeastCulture? They are Mark Silver and Nick Hillel. They make stunning music videos for the likes of Nitin Sawhney and Jamie Cullum. In fact, they came up with the live visuals currently accompanying the aforementioned jazz-Hobbit on his North American tour. They can do it off-the-cuff too, and have VJ'd for artists as varied as the Beastie Boys and Matthew Herbert, and also at the Big Chill. They'll be pulling out all the stops as part of the BBC's Electric Proms here in London later this month, when they'll be VJing for three nights. They've just come up with their new website too, where you can see loads of exquisite examples of their work and a smattering of their personal politics. That's where you'll also be able to get the Yeast Book that they're giving away for free that features their images and ideas. That's yeastCulture. One thing they're not is lazy. :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: :::: 9-29-06
http://pogue.blogs.nytimes.com/?p=138 Pixel Art! A note at Digg.com alerted me to a thriving underworld of pixel artists: people who create art one click at a time, using the Pencil tool in Photoshop (or something similar). It looks to me like painstaking, backbreaking work, but the result has a look all its own. The original message pointed out the pixel art of a Taiwanese guy named Jason Huang. But some of the commenters pointed out that Eboy is even more talented, and even sells prints of his work. There were also fans of Supertotto and Pixeljoint.com. But best of all, all of this discussion led me to this amazing music video, illustrated completely by pixel art and hypnotic in the extreme. I couldn’t take my eyes off of it. ----------------------------

http://www.we-make-money-not-art.com/ Thermoesthesia The surface of the monitor screen displaying the images is warmed and cooled by 80 Peltier modules. A PC controls the electrical circuits feeding current to the modules. The thermographic displays can read out temperatures ranging from 5° to 45° Celsius. A photosensoric touch-pad system registers the position of the user’s hand via infrared light diodes and thus enables the visitor to interact with the thermographic images. You can get a rough idea of what it looks like (but not what it "feels" like of course) with the video of Thermoesthesia, found on digg ----------------------------
