View this post on Instagram Last night while rushing to different gallery parties and open studios we came upon the @jr X @time Bowery mural. We were stopped in our tracks. To say this might be the most important current art installations may be an understatement. We seem to forget that all of humanity is generally fighting towards the same goals (happiness, acceptance, love, success, etc). Even though we may have different approaches we seek the same things out of our life’s. Twenty-four hours after completion, someone tagged the black-and-white imagery with the number “11” – in blood-red paint – which represents the murdered Jewish congregants at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. #strongerthanhate #treeoflife A post shared...
French artist Jean Jullien is to exhibit a show entitled “GIB,” at the Arsham Fieg Gallery. The miniature presentation features Jullien’s original works of natural landscapes and minimalist subjects. “The show is called GIB because it’s the opposite of BIG,” stated the gallery.
The French graphic designer and illustrator will be displaying his miniature paintings and sculptures alongside 3D models of Daniel Arsham and Ronnie Fieg, the galleries curators/owners.
The Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles has reinstalled a Barbara Kruger mural "Untitled (Questions)." The piece was first unveiled in 1990 and aimed to provoke civic discourse towards democratic institutions and the government. Original (1990): Today (2018): It reads: “WHO IS BEYOND THE LAW? WHO IS BOUGHT AND SOLD? WHO IS FREE TO CHOOSE? WHO DOES TIME? WHO FOLLOWS ORDERS? WHO SALUTES LONGEST? WHO PRAYS LOUDEST? WHO DIES FIRST? WHO LAUGHS LAST?” Krugers bold-face text message is plastered across a nearly three-story-tall wall on the side of the MOCA building. The MOCA LA posted on their Instagram: View this post on Instagram 𝘞𝘏𝘖 𝘐𝘚 𝘉𝘌𝘠𝘖𝘕𝘋 𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘓𝘈𝘞? . MOCA is thrilled to announce that #BarbaraKruger’s work Untitled (Questions) is being installed...
As revealed by the artist on instagram, this year Takashi Murakami will dress up in a custom made outfit inspired by the Kanye West and Lil Pump "I Love It” music video. The exaggerated look is made up of a smiling flower print button-up, traditional Japanese camoflage pant, a gold “Hiropon” necklace and a pair of YEEZY slides. “Hiropon” is the name of Murakami’s lauded sculpture from 2001 that serves as a physical representation of Japanese “Otaku” culture and its distinct representation of female sexuality. The Artists wrote on his Instagram: "I found the music video of Kanye West (and Lil Pump )’s "I Love It” incredibly shocking. Its like you’re being served a raw, contemporary human being, delivered straight to you via YouTube, iTunes and...
After sponsoring the conservation of Andy Warhols "Shadows", Calvin Klein's NYC Headquarters will be hosting an exhibit featuring the newly restored works. In partnership with the Dia Art Foundation, the show will display the late artist’s iconic Shadows, silkscreen paintings that boast dynamic blurs of dark and light colors such as yellow, violet, coral, and aqua. All panels displayed at the space went under a 9-month restoration process that took place at Dia:Beacon in New York. “Shadows” was first presented in New York City by Dia in 1979. Andy Warhol’s precise instructions to installing Shadows (1978-79) have always been tricky. The monumental 102 silk-screened and painted canvases must also hang in the round, lined edge to edge. The intent is to reflect the continuity...
