Basel Week Miami ’09: Judith Supine @ SCOPE

Posted by sleepboy, December 8, 2009
Situated right near the entrance of one of the sections of the SCOPE art fair, the New Image Art booth siphoned off alot of the traffic as attendees passed by.  Not that they needed the prime location with the large Judith Supine installation to grab everyone’s attention.  We take a closer look at said installation after the jump, as well as the additional four pieces seen above.

Koons Train Derailed

Posted by sleepboy, December 8, 2009
The Jeff Koons – LACMA $25 million train project previously reported here appears to have hit a snag on the rails, err road. The idea may have sounded great several years ago, but with the current economic climate and in light of the decline of museum’s investment portfolio and donations, the project has been delayed and may be shelved completely. Via Bloomberg. Discuss Jeff Koons here.

Openings: HK Venture (Part II) – Jeremy Geddes

Posted by sleepboy, December 8, 2009
As we reported last month, the “HK Venture” exhibition featured an artist whose work left a lasting impression in our minds – Jeremy Geddes. The Melbourne-based artist has worked in illustration and comics, picking up a Spectrum Gold Award along the way. His new body of work features cosmonauts, seemingly weightless like in space, but suspended in urban environments instead. Take a look at the pics from the exhibition after the jump as well as two prints that were recently released…

Now, we have some behind the scenes pics of Zezão, Stephan Doitschinoff, Ramon Martins, Carlos Dias, Daniel Melim, and Titi Freak getting their freak on (no pun intended) as they set up for the groundbreaking show at one of the most respected museums in Latin America. If you like the pics after the jump, you might want […]

Basel Week Miami ’09 – Wynwood Walls Video

Posted by sleepboy, December 8, 2009
Here’s another sweet video from the minds at Vernissage TV. This time, they are profiling the Wynwood Walls project that we have been covering all of last week at Art Basel. It was a pretty mind-blowing to see so many large murals from quality artists all in the same location, something that probably doesn’t happen without the influence of Deitch with the backdrop of the premiere art fair in the U.S. Discuss Art Basel here.

Openings: “Grifters” Group Show @ Lazarides (Rathbone Place)

Posted by sleepboy, December 7, 2009
“Grifters,” a group show with a super lineup, opened last week at Lazarides – Rathbone Place. As expected, the artwork was fantastic and was placed well throughout the spacious gallery. And as an added bonus, some of the artists put up some pieces in the streets (like David Choe) to complement the show (more on this later). Take a look at all the images after the jump…

Posted by sleepboy, December 7, 2009
A show we teased you with last month is opening this Saturday night, the 12th, at Shooting Gallery. Our friend Travis Louie (interviewed) will be bringing his “Lifetime Companions” to San Francisco, a body work based on the theme of companions you are stuck with during your life – some wanted, some not so much… For example, you can see Travis working on “Stan and his first wife, Big Judy – she broke his heart and stole his house.” See the concept sketch for this […]
