Posted by lowpro, May 11, 2011

Granted the honor of inaugurating LeBasse Projects’ new Chinatown space with its first solo exhibition, Nate Frizzell (interviewed) will aim to kick things off in dramatic fashion with To Become Myself (teased), opening this Thursday, May 13th. Based around a series of charcoal drawings, the body of work will again serve as a major departure from the status quo, bravely mixing up technique in a manner similar to that of the landmark I Should Know Who I Am By Now (covered), which saw the Los […]

Posted by sleepboy, May 9, 2011

One of the people we connected with in Hawaii for the POW WOW event (covered) was videographer Mikey Inouye. It seemed him and his crew were everywhere at the same time documenting all the action. The fruits of their labor are now evident with this new video.

Posted by sleepboy, April 26, 2011

We only caught of glimpse of noted “venture philanthropist” Eli Broad at the Art in the Streets opening a couple weeks ago, but apparently Morley Safer was able to spend more time time with him for the latest segment of 60 Minutes. The engaging interview touched on many topics including the self-made billionaire’s charitable goals and philosphies, his art collection, and the love-hate relationship the art community has with him.

Posted by sleepboy, April 17, 2011

Back in March, we brought you some photos from Swoon’s (interviewed) first solo exhibition in Australia held at the Metro Gallery. This was probably right before she worked on her next-level illuminated installation piece for the MOCA show (covered). Well, apparently our friends at Acclaim Magazine, who happen to be conveniently based in Melbourne, were able to get some footage of the show along with an interview with the Brooklyn-based artist. Discuss Swoon here.

Posted by sleepboy, April 17, 2011

When we first saw this new piece from Melissa Haslam’s (featured), we thought it was a photograph. But, it looks like she has just upped the detail in this new body of work since her last show at LeBasse Projects (covered). Her new show is entitled Kigurumi will open in July and is inspired by cosplay enthusiasts that she knows. Take a look at a video by Melissa’s sister during a photo reference shoot of Kigurumi girls…

Posted by lowpro, April 5, 2011

Focal point of OHWOW’s hugely successful, and immensely compelling, exhibition last fall, Untitled Photographs (covered), Tim Barber recently sat down with Camerabag.tv for a insightful interview.
