Video: R. Crumb – “The Bible Illuminated: R. Crumb’s Book of Genesis” @ David Zwirner

Posted by sleepboy, March 29, 2010

After stopping by the David Zwirner booth at Art Basel last year and checking out the wonderful Marcel Dzama pieces in their inventory, we also learned about an upcoming R. Crumb show. The controversial show from the infamous cartoonist featuring a comic version of the first book of the Old Testament (previewed), has come and gone but the good folks of Vernnisage TV have documented everything with some video footage (seen above).

Banksy & David Choe’s Films to Screen in U.S.

Posted by sleepboy, March 29, 2010

Street art lovers will be happy to hear that two pretty awesome films “Dirty Hands” and “Exit Through The Gift Shop” from David Choe (featured) and Banksy respectively will be opening in select cities in the United States. Although not a general release as of yet, this might be our best chance stateside (at least in major metropolitan areas) to get a look at these documentary/films. “Exit Through The Gift Shop” will be showing in LA, NY, and SF starting on April 16th and hopefully […]

Sculptor Christy Langer sent AM an exclusive preview of a couple of her new pieces that will be featured in the upcoming “Meticulous Engagements” show coming soon to the Shooting Gallery.

Update: Shepard Fairey – May Day @ Deitch Projects

Posted by sleepboy, March 27, 2010

Looks like more information is coming out about the upcoming Shepard Fairey show at Deitch Projects (teased). The exhibition entitled “May Day” (for multiple reasons) will feature mostly portraiture celebrating some of the artists, musicians and political activists the artist most admires, although this flag piece is pretty sexy too… Says Fairey, “These people I’m portraying were all revolutionary, in one sense or another. They started out on the margins of culture and ended up changing the mainstream. When we celebrate big steps that were made […]

Posted by sven, March 26, 2010

Our most anticipated show of the year thus far opened in London this week at Lazarides and we had to make the trip down to see Ian Francis’ (featured) “Exodus”. We teased you a few images last week, but now we can bring you some shots from the opening of the paintings and charcoal pieces the show comprised of. The show is surprisingly Ian’s first London solo show, and it signals his departure from the UK to pastures new in the United States – hence […]

Video: Mark Warren Jacques – “Mind Visit”

Posted by Ken, March 26, 2010

Portland artist Mark Warren Jacques (interviewed) will be returning to San Francisco soon and has released a video in conjunction with his visit. Entitled “Mind Visit”, the short film is an exploratory journey into both the mind and studio of the young artist as he diligently prepares for his part in the upcoming group show “New Territory” debuting next weekend at White Walls. Equally haunting and enlightening, “Mind Visit” is less of a welcoming insight than it is a seemingly drug induced and slightly voyeuristic […]
