Teaser: Clare Rojas – “Inside Bleak” @ PRISM Gallery

Posted by sleepboy, February 18, 2011

It was during the opening of the wonderfully curated Come As You Are group show (covered) at the PRISM Gallery that we first saw these abstract works from Clare Rojas. There’s no telling if she will continue to explore this new direction, but she will be returning to the three story architectural space on the western end of the Sunset Strip this Saturday night, February 26th with a new body of work entitled Inside Bleak as well as a performance under her stage name Peggy […]

Openings: “Art Machine” @ The Hole Gallery & ALIFE

Posted by juggernut3, February 18, 2011

AM got a chance to attend the opening of Art Machine at The Hole recently. The collaboration between the gallery and NY fashion collective ALIFE featured a special vending machine where artwork could be purchased and dispensed. We got there before the public was allowed in and watched the final “stocking” of the goods. With artwork and goodies from artists such as Matt Leines, Ricky Powell & Kenny Scharf, it was sort of a rush to get in front of the crowd to get a […]

Setup / Preview – POW WOW ’11

Posted by juggernut3, February 18, 2011

It’s been a crazy few days since we landed in sunny Hawaii where the crew has been in the thick of getting ready for the big POW WOW ’11. We worked alongside our friends at Hypebeast, Booooooom and the rest of the sponsors to stretch canvases and build modular installation platforms in anticipation for Saturday night’s opening. Artists such as Will Barras, Meggs, Ekundayo, Prime, Jeff Hamada, 123Klan, Kamea Hadar and Jasper Wong have begun working on their various murals. It’s looking to be a tremendous event come […]

Streets: JR (Venice, CA)

Posted by sleepboy, February 17, 2011

It looks like street photographer JR is back in Southern California after Eurotrash took over the Lazarides pop-up gallery last July. If you remember, as an adjunct for that show, he worked on a sweet collaboration with Vhils in downtown LA. This time, the French street activist will be bringing his “The Wrinkles of the City” project over to the States after it’s original start in Shanghai. Here is a piece he put up in Venice, the first in a series of twenty large-scale photos […]

Recommended openings for this weekend (Feb. 18th/19th)

Posted by Andrew Hosner, February 17, 2011

Following a very robust early February due in part to some very high profile shows opening, things slow a lil’ bit the world over this weekend. Leading the charge will be the big POW WOW event over in Hawaii and DABS MYLA’s debut out in the desert at M Modern in Palm Springs alongside a small showing of new works on paper from the legendary SHAG. Looking ahead to March, we’ll have major solo shows to look forward to from the likes of Jose Parla, […]

Releases: KAWS – “Dissected Milo” Vinyl Figures

Posted by lowpro, February 17, 2011

In a project that most have been aware of for quite a while, it appears that the KAWS x BAPE Dissected Milo figures will see the light of day very soon. With the character appearing on a series of shirts from a few years back, and also getting a reprise with BAPE’s 2011 Spring Collection, it was only a matter of time before it was manifest in vinyl form. Coming in at 8″ in height and most likely produced in the same editions of the […]

Video: Highlights from “Suggestivism” @ GCAC

Posted by sleepboy, February 17, 2011

With a show filled with such plethora of strong and iconic works from an A-list of artists, Suggestivism definitely deserves a second look. If our coverage of the opening didn’t encourage you to see the exhibition in person, perhaps this video from Hurley featuring some footage of the art as well as an interview with curator and artist Nathan Spoor will convince you to head over to the Grand Central Art Center before April 17th, the close date. Discuss this show here.

Streets: Kid Acne – ‘Art Fags’ & Ema – ‘Dropmen’ (Paris)

Posted by sven, February 16, 2011

One of our favourite things we’ve seen on the streets over the last few months have been Kid Acne’s Art Fags. Acne has frequently brightened the day with his playful creations, but this huge street art in-joke makes us smile everytime we come across one. KA has been on a pasting spree on the streets of Paris, along with partner in crime Ema – who has getting busy dropping her Dropmen alongside the looseys. Perhaps we will see some more action from Kid Acne in […]
