Video: The London Police – “Brothers in Arms” Preview

Posted by sleepboy, September 6, 2009

AM stopped by Carmichael Gallery on Friday to check in on Chaz and Bob (The London Police) and their newest show “Brothers in Arms” (teased). We were surprise to see them handcuffed together as they went about finishing up their paintings and setting up their show (some of their best work to date by the way).Â Suffice it to say that it will make it interesting in the days leading up to the opening next Thursday night.Â We’ll have more on our little visit later […]

Preview/Video: Edwin Ushiro – “Softly Encompassing the Womb” @ LeBasse Projects

Posted by sleepboy, September 6, 2009

Edwin Ushiro is making his bid for collectors to take notice on a jam-packed week of art coming up. With big shows almost everyday starting on Wednesday, an artist really has to bring his “A game” to get some love this week. Luckily, judging from what we have seen and by the trailer video by Modus Films for “Softly Encompassing the Womb,” Ushiro has done just that. With his unique blend of Hawaiian and Japanese aesthetics, his vibrant paintings are a breath of fresh air […]

Video: “Pixo” Documentary about Pixacao

Posted by sleepboy, August 31, 2009

Recently, we saw another video about Pixacao, the distinctive form of graffiti found in Sao Paulo, Brazil that we first mentioned here. The video includes more extracts from Joao Weiner and Roberto Oliveira’s documentary “Pixo,” presented last year at The Cartier Foundation in Paris for the “Ne dans la rue” or “Born in the streets” exhibit.

Video: Ernesto Yerena – “Con O Sin”

Posted by Ken, August 22, 2009

In this new video, Obey Giant’s Ernesto Yerena explains the concept of “Con O Sin” or “With or Without.”Â His subject for the piece, a member of the norteno music scene (literally “northern,” a style of Mexican music heavily driven by accordion and bajo sexto) represents the idea of â€œCon dinero o sin dinero hago siempre lo que quiero,â€ or “With money or without, I’ll always do as I please.”Â Grafted together entirely from still photos, Con O Sin shows a carefree side of Ernesto, […]

Hush x Complex – Style and Design Project

Posted by sleepboy, August 21, 2009

Have you ever wondered how a painting or sculpture from your favorite artist would look if it was brought to life?Â Well, fans of Hush (interviewed) got sort of an idea when he recently collaborated with Complex on a project where they paired four artists up with models to create “four unique fusions of style and sex appeal” for their annual Style and Design package.Â Nice to see he got a little diversion after hitting up LA and SF with a couple solo shows earlier […]
