Preview: “Post 9/11” @ OHWOW (LA)

Posted by lowpro, June 8, 2011

After kicking things off at their new Los Angeles space earlier this year with Scott Campbell’s Noblesse Oblige (covered), quickly followed up by a unique body of work from David Benjamin Sherry, OHWOW will look to continue making waves with an impressive summer group exhibition. Including such blue chip names as Dan Colen, Terence Koh, Hanna Liden, Nate Lowman, Adam McEwen, Ryan McGinley, Dash Snow, Agathe Snow, and Aaron Young, the Miami-based transplant gallery has brought out some of the big guns to further their […]

Ai Yamaguchi – “kumogakure” @ Aki Gallery (Taiwan)

Posted by sleepboy, June 8, 2011

Closing just last weekend, the Aki Gallery in Taiwan hosted Ai Yamaguchi’s new body of work entitled kumagakure or hidden in clouds. The title is taken from a chapter of The Tale of Genji from Japanese literature and along with inspiration from the beauty of Taiwanese nature, Yamaguchi has woven together an exhibition that features a continuation of her custom shaped paintings, a large-scale piece, various art-related products, and a special walk-in art structure. Besides a piece here or there for various art fairs, we don’t […]

Scott Musgrove Summer Online Show (2011)

Posted by sleepboy, June 8, 2011

A couple years back, we brought you word of an opportunity to purchase some nicely priced works from Scott Musgrove (featured). Included in this rendition of his summer online show are affordably priced studies, small watercolors, and drawings (including a sketch of part of a painting that we highlighted in a creative process article). His next solo won’t be until 2012 in Rome, so don’t pass this chance by if you are looking to acquire something from Scott. More of the work available as of […]

Openings: Invader – “1000” @ Galerie Le Feuvre (Paris)

Posted by sleepboy, June 8, 2011

Yesterday night in Paris, resident street tilemaster Invader put on the mother of all shows to celebrate getting up for the 1000th time at La Générale, organized by Gallerie Le Feuvre. Almost as impressive as the amount of work the French artist created is that fact that it seems he meticulously documented everything as evidenced by a large wall covered by what looks to be a photo of every single piece (perhaps not surprising as being obsessive-compulsive may run in his blood seeing his cousin […]

All right kids, Kaws is coming back to homebase for the summer.

Posted by sven, June 7, 2011

Currently showing at New York’s Fredericks and Freiser, Matthew Palladino’s latest exhibition simply entitled New Work is about to come to the end of its run on June 11th. AM has heard that of the four of the new pieces created for the exhibition – his first showing in a Chelsea gallery – one of the paintings was acquired by the Whitney Museum for it’s permanent collection. We’ve enthused over Palladino’s work in the past, and wondered where he would take his dynamic and versatile painting […]

Streets: Phlegm – “Shrines and Caskets”

Posted by sleepboy, June 7, 2011

Looks like Phlegm has found a new location and is continuing to work on murals for his forthcoming photographic edition of his zine Phlegm Comic. If you remember, the UK-based artist had taken us on a tour of an abandoned school where he had spent time getting up a series of works, also slated for the epic comic which has been two years in the making. For those impatiently waiting for the wall zine, you may want to check out a separate project presumably to be […]
