Basel Week Miami ’10: Wynwood Walls

Posted by juggernut3, December 8, 2010

Last year, Wynwood Walls started out as an ambitious project to revive and reclaim the worndown Wynwood Arts District with art. This year, Tony Goldman upped the ante by expanding the project space with new works and installations by Ryan McGinness, Invader, Kenny Scharf, Ron English (featured), Jeff Soto’s (featured), Logan Hicks (interviewed), Friends With You and Shepard Fairey. In addition, a restaurant and a project gallery space were also created on-site to keep onlookers submerged in the arts. After checking out the space during […]

Basel Week Miami ’10 – Faurschou

Posted by Khoi, December 8, 2010

Walking into Copenhagen and Beijing-based Faurschou’s booth at Art Basel Miami Beach was like walking into a carefully-curated, intimate museum show. With pieces by Ai Weiwei (including a half-million dollar sunflower pile that was created pre-Tate), Cai Guo-Qiang, Robert Rauschenberg, and Lucian Freud, everywhere you looked, you saw near-masterpieces. They certainly brought out the big guns, which you will see after the jump…

Openings: Kid Acne – ‘When the Smoke Clears’ @ Concrete Hermit

Posted by sven, November 19, 2010

South Yorkshire’s finest – Kid Acne – opened his latest solo show in London last week at Concrete Hermit. ‘When the Smoke Clears’ brings a fine selection of the varied aspects of this artist’s oeuvre together in one space. The installation begins with the hundreds of one-line-drawings of Kid Acne’s signature house emblem in white paint marker pen on the window to the gallery and store. Step inside and the floor is spray-painted in a vivid Day-Glo pink with a black sinuous pattern running throughout […]

Openings: Swoon – “Fata Morgana” @ Galerie L.J.

Posted by sleepboy, October 24, 2010

Swoon’s (interviewed) newest solo show “Fata Morgana” opened in Paris last night at the Galerie L.J. An appropriate title for her show as the Brooklyn-based street artist changed the interior of the gallery like a “unusual and very complex form of mirage” with her customary immersive installations. It seems like we haven’t seen her transform a space so extensively since last year in Berlin. Take a look at the exquisite paperwork, cutouts, and wall hangings after the jump courtesy of Guillotine.

Installation: MOMO “Better Than 2009″ @ Anno Domini

Posted by sven, October 10, 2010

Here’s an exhibition we’ve been looking forward to… Conceptually astute graffiti and street artist MOMO was in residence for a week working on his installation at San Jose’s Anno Domini. AM brings you a behind the scenes glimpse of what’s on offer for his first US solo show, playfully entitled “Better Than 2009”, which opened Friday October 1. What we love about MOMO is the daring use of color and space within his work. If you didn’t read this recent article in the New York Times […]

Beyond Eden ’10: Shark Toof Installation

Posted by Khoi, October 8, 2010

Beyond Eden is this weekend and from what we’ve seen, it looks to be one amazing event. LeBasse Projects is one of the galleries participating in the 2-day fair and one of the artists they will be showing is Los Angeles’ own Shark Toof. The hustling hometown hero, whose prolific work can be seen all around the streets of the city, presents a large scale installation as well as a selection of pieces. Come by this weekend and see his amazing work when the fair […]

Openings: Brian Viveros – “The Dirtyland” @ Thinkspace Gallery

Posted by sleepboy, October 7, 2010

A couple weeks ago, Brian Viveros’ “The Dirtyland” exhibition opened at the Thinkspace Gallery in Culver City. The immersive exhibition featured paintings, drawings, one-off hand-finished prints, installations, sculptural work (with the help of Gustavo Ponce), and video from the Riverside based artist all inspired by his fascination with Hispanic culture in general (bull-fighting, day of the dead, luchadores, etc) and of course, nicotine. When we visited his studio before the show, Brian was really excited to have a large space all to himself to fully […]

Showing: Matthew Feyld “Untitled 1 & 2” at Krets and Neon, Sweden

Posted by sven, September 30, 2010

AM recently brought you a glimpse of Matthew Feyld’s installation coming together at his two concurrent solo shows in Sweden at Krets and Neon. It was following his period of residency during August and the beginning of this month at the galleries. Both shows have since opened, and as we suggested may happen, Feyld was let loose to assemble a large freestanding installation at Neon. Consisting of large scale wooden cut outs, the installation work is some of the largest the Saskatoon, Canada-based artist has […]

Openings: Yoshitomo Nara – “Nobody’s Fool” Retrospective @ Asia Society

Posted by juggernut3, September 10, 2010

Yesterday, AM attended the opening of Yoshitomo Nara’s epic retrospective at New York’s Asia Society. With anticipation building since attending his “Open Studio” session a few weeks prior, we didn’t know what more to expect from Nara and YNG/graf aside from the artwork being created by the artist and the cool construction of the “Home” installation. After checking out opening night though, it’s pretty obvious the expansive & comprehensive retrospective put together by curators Miwako Tezuka & Melissa Chiu will delight fans old and new. […]
