New Banksy @ NNLS Charity Auction

Posted by juggernut3, March 25, 2009

Banksy is at it again. This time, he’s created a new piece to be auctioned off for another charity event. The NNLS auction is actually an “undies” auction where celebrities literally donate their “bottoms” to raise money for the charity at hand. Sir Banksy managed to find another creative way to donate undies to the cause without revealing his waist size by remixing his “Very Little Helps” image that he revealed last year at POWâ€™s Open Day (covered).Â He used a stencil of “Union Jack” […]

Posted by juggernut3, March 25, 2009

Award winning photographer Chris Anthony is back with a new series of works hosted Corey Helford Gallery opening March 28th. The show entitled “Venice” is set to a theme where the world is submerged in an icy, overcast, andÂ flooded landscape. Think of intriguing subjects shot and showcasedÂ in a dreary “Waterworld” setting. Breaking into the sceneÂ and hitting his stride asÂ aÂ photographer of gaudy rock bands while just a teenager, Chris thenÂ took some time off after “retiring” at the age of 17 to direct music videos and commercials.

Armory Focus: Mizuma Art @ Armory NYC

Posted by juggernut3, March 21, 2009

Japan’s Mizuma gallery made quite a splash at this year’s Armory, selling out most of the art they imported from the land of the rising sun. As usual, their booth was filled with some of Japan’s notables: Akino Kondoh, Sashie Masakatsu, Makoto Aida, Aoyama Satoru, andÂ Tanada Koji to name a few. We were hoping to catch more of Sashie’s work, but like in Pulse Miami (covered), he sold out quickly.Â Another piece weÂ saw was a beautifulÂ pieceÂ by Ai Yamaguchi. The centerpiece of the gallery was a magnificent […]

The piece was represented by Frey Norris, where he sold out his previous show (covered).Â Matsu’s beautifulÂ work was recognized as one of the gems of this year’s monster show in the ever growing UAB.
