We have some exciting news for Twist fans out west. Right on the heels of announcing an upcoming exhibition from George Condo set for opening this Saturday, the PRISM Gallery in Los Angeles has given word that Barry McGee has “next” (come May 12th).

Teaser: INSA – “Self Reflection is greater than Self Projection” @ Londonewcastle Project Space

Posted by sleepboy, March 28, 2012

Tomorrow, March 29th, at the Londonewcastle Project Space, a special one night only showing of an installation from INSA will be opening its doors to the public. As you can see from the photos above (by Ian Cox), the experience will prove to be immersive and somewhat disconcerting for the viewer as the walls, ceiling, and floor are wrapped with some of the UK-based artist’s signature imagery. Self Reflection is greater than Self Projection reiterates issues of the female body and commodity fetishism that is often […]

On Friday night, March 30th, Pace Primitive in New York will be hosting the opening of Ryan McGinness’ newest solo show entitled Geometric Primitives.

Continuing on this theme, McGinness has taken advantage of Pace Primitive’s inventory of African art, which has historically featured schematic reductions of […]

Teaser: Yoskay Yamamoto – “Jokes On Me…” @ LeBasse Projects – Chinatown

Posted by sleepboy, March 11, 2012

Over the past couple years, every time we have stopped by Yoskay Yamamoto’s (interviewed) studio for a visit (here, here and here), we saw evidence of some pretty sweet customs he had been working on when he had extra time. Taking classic toys and figures and remixing them with wood, clay, and paint, the new pieces were changed to have classic Yamamoto features. It now looks like these will all be revealed to the public at the LeBasse Projects in Chinatown in a showing entitled […]
