Los Angeles, absence makes the heart grow founder… So, David Choe (featured), welcome home! After a six year hiatus from showing in LA, the man who paddle-boated down the Mississippi, safaried the Congo Jungle, was jailed in Japan, and once exhibited in an ice cream parlor, will be making his homecoming in the heart of Beverly Hills this April 23rd for an exhibition to blow the hinges off.

Posted by juggernut3, April 20, 2010

As hinted in our previous coverage of Tomokazu “Matsu” Matsuyama’s (interviewed) collaboration with Medicom, there is another surprise collaborator in this project: Nike.

The famed mural space on Soho’s Houston Street is about to cycle on to the next artist.

AM stopped by Shepard’s Studio Number Two on Friday (more on that later) and got a sneak peak […]

This past weekend, AM caught the opening of the Date Farmers, Eric White (interviewed), Nicola Verlato and Fulvio Di Piazza at Jonathan Levine Gallery. The two shows were unique as it touched on both ends of the spectrum in terms of dimensions with all the way from large scale museum size works to a cornucopia of medium to smaller size pieces. First, we saw the immense paintings from “Three Handed” which featured Eric White, Nicola Verlato and Fulvio Di Piazza. Eric’s breathtaking piece “Massacre of the […]

Video: Takashi Murakami’s UStream Channel

Looks like Superflat icon Takashi Murakami is a fan of UStream seeing as he has already uploaded about 100 impromptu videos of his life and works in the studio. For example, the footage seen above sheds light on what looks to be his biggest painting to date – “Cloud Dragon”. Listed under “takashipom”, you can see the full list of what you can watch (if you can get past the annoying ads) on his channel here. See another example of him at work in the studio […]
