New Aiko Project

Posted by sleepboy, February 14, 2010

Haven’t heard from the Lady Aiko since her solo at Josh Liner’s last April, a brief appearance in China, and her participation in Art Basel’s Wynwood Wall project, but she recently posted something she’s working on. The project is still a secret but definitely appropriate for today don’t you think? Discuss Aiko here.

Streets: Zilda

Posted by sleepboy, February 14, 2010

After we brought you a look at the risqué “The Red Light Exhibit”, the ESPO Love Train, and the Sam3 Valentine’s prints, we have one more to share with your loved one – the “romantic” street art of Zilda. First introduced to the French street artist by Unurth, we like the recent series of classically inspired work. Here’s wishing you all a Happy Valentine’s Day from AM. More work from Zilda after the jump.

If you have been reading AM this week, you may remember our recent review of the Sotheby’s, Christie’s, and Philip de Pury auctions.

More images after the jump…

Video: Hitler’s Reaction to Deitch Named as MOCA Director

Posted by sleepboy, February 10, 2010

For those who spend a lot of time on the internet, um yes, like us, you will have seen some sort of parody by now involving Adolf Hitler in scenes from the German film “Downfall”. The Führer, played by actor Bruno Ganz, can be seen berating his generals during the last days of the Nazi regime, except the subtitles are all rewritten for comedic effect. For example, his mock reactions to the bursting of the real estate bubble or Kanye West’s dissing of Taylor Swift. [...]

Preview / Interview: Sarah Joncas – “Shadow Play” @ Roq La Rue Gallery

Posted by sleepboy, February 10, 2010

Canadian artist, Sarah Joncas, is set to open her show “Shadow Play” at Seattle’s Roq La Rue gallery this Friday, February 12th. As the title of her show implies, not only will her paintings include the interplay of “shadow” imagery, “play” also references one of her inspirations – film noir and all that comes along with that genre. The soon-to-be graduated art student talks about this and much more in the interview we conducted with her – after the jump…
