Mr Brainwash “One of the most prolific street artists in California, MBW doesn’t fit the stereotype of your average street vandal. His artistic process chiefly consists of throwing random modern cultural icons into a blender and cranking on turbo power. The results are by turns profound, provocative, and inspirational.” (via: juxtapoz)

New Kids On the Block - “Summertime”

The video says it all better then I could.

simko:


Have you ever had those weeks when you just hate New York and everything about it? Those days when you feel like you live at the epi-center of everything that is dirty, evil, and wrong with the world? Those times when you want to pack up all your stuff, and hop on a train to anywhere else but new york?

I’m in an I hate New York rut and need to get my mood turned around quickly. It’s summer…the best time of year in New York and I just can’t find the love! Anyone, please anyone send me some New York pick me up!

Without a car, moving in New York is absolute hell. I’ve moved an average of 1 time a year for the last 6 years, each time swearing I will move out of New York before I ever move again. To keep consistent with my good luck with apartments and moving, last night, the hottest day of the year thus far, I spent a solid 5 hours hauling box after box of “stuff” into an apartment that I then discovered has horrible mold growing in it and I cannot sleep in the place till the EPA comes! Every move I try to get rid of more things, but each time it seems like I have somehow acquired more. I am considering organizing a “shit-swap” to get rid of it all. Any takers? Anyone have any ideas about how to get rid of mold on brick?

Desk deception: What appears to be a pile of papers is in fact a hunched figure
Desiree Palmen, a 44-year-old Dutch artist, creates “invisible” works of art.
“The artist makes cotton suits and paints the camouflage on by hand, painstakingly matching it to the chosen background. Either she or a model then poses in the suit in the chosen place.
The scenes are photographed and filmed and then put on display.”

Ratatat “Mirando”

I think its pretty halarious they made a video out of Predator.

It was so hot in the city today, decided to take an impromptu trip out. Took the metro-north along the Hudson to Beacon, NY. The assessment…Not a lot to do in Beacon; nice little farmers market, river front walk, couple places to eat, but most the stores were closed on Sunday. Yet, I still would say, if you get a chance… I highly suggest visiting the Dia: Beacon. One of the best museum experiences I have had in a long time. It’s an amazing space, has a great collection, and very few people there so you can actually walk around and experience the works.

“Swoon and Tennessee Jane collaborated at Honey Space last week in an attempt to raise awareness of the brutal killing of women in Mexico that has been rampant since the early 1990s. Here is the text from the exhibition, telling the story of Silvia Elena, one of the murdered women in Juarez, Mexico.” via:sukapants
“Housed underground, one must descend through a hole in the floor to get to the exhibit. There’s a ladder to aid the descent, but at the opening last week one had to climb down rubble. Once underground in the long-sealed, candlelit sub-basement, visitors encounter a shrine dedicated to Silvia’s memory while they hear the sound of dirt being cleared from Silvia’s grave, the desert winds, and Silvia’s mother speaking about her daughter.
The eerie setting “provides a window into the tragic and ongoing issue of femicide. Defined as a pattern of murder targeting women, to which authorities have often systematically turned a blind eye.” The show runs through July 5th.” via: Gothomist

Honey Space Gallery:
148 11th Ave. (between 21st and 22nd)
