Streets: Banksy – “Better Out Than In” (New York) – Day 8 & 9

Posted by juggernut3, October 10, 2013

After a great first week in New York City where Banksy hit seven different locations over seven days (covered here), he starts off the week on Monday with a philosphical reference piece (Day 8). Then yesterday, we woke to find that the elusive Bristol-based artist had brought out the big guns – literally. For Day 9 of Better Out Than In, Mr. B gets a little more clever with an installation inside an empty lot in the Lower East Side near the corner of Ludlow & Stanton. Banksy sets […]

Inside there’s a rare interview with the ever elusive Mr. […]

Over the weekend, the Shulamit Gallery in Venice, California opened their doors to Gary Baseman’s (interviewed) Mythical Homeland.

Take a look at more opening night photos below… Discuss Gary Baseman here.

Openings: Ian Davenport – “Colorfall” @ Paul Kasmin

Posted by K., October 8, 2013

Now through October 26th at Paul Kasmin Gallery, British artist and YBA alumnus Ian Davenport has an exhibition of new paintings titled Colorfall. Known for his colorful “puddle” abstract paintings, Davenport brings brilliantly chromatic canvases, a spectrum of more or less evenly painted stripes cascading down before some unseen current disrupts their flow, transforming them into swirling eddies of colors mixing together. Don’t miss this show from an amazing artist. Photo credit: AK for Arrested Motion.

AM recently stopped by the new studio space of Tomokazu “Matsu” Matsuyama (interviewed). The Brooklyn-based artist was busy getting ready for his solo exhibition at Luxembourg’s Zidoun & Bossuyt that opened yesterday.

The exhibition runs from October 3rd until November 9th, so stop by if you’re in the area. Discuss Matsu here.

Structures: Alex Chinneck – “From the Knees of My Nose to the Belly of My Toes”

Posted by sleepboy, October 2, 2013

British designer Alex Chinneck has made over the facade of an abandoned building in Margate, England which he entitled From the Knees of My Nose to the Belly of My Toes. The project brings to mind the Dalston House by Leandro Erlich which we shared with your earlier this year and has the same whimsical feel to it. Taking about a year to build, the installation features the front of the four-story residence melting and sliding off the side of the building, while preserving some of the fire and water-damaged […]
