Good or Wanky? You decide.

I'm not sure. Leaning towards the latter.

MUTATE BY PIERRE DEBUSSCHERE AND CARLOTTA MANAIGO

FffFound inspiration

Phew. That one was a doozy. Well, it's been awhile.

Huh?

Love this piece by artist Roger Borg, based on the NYC MTA's horribly worded slogan. Seriously, the grammar and syntax in this thing drive me crazy every time I see a city bus or poster. I know the MTA are trying to be "catchy" but -- argh! So many pronouns without antecedents. If you (who?) see something (what, specifically? a suspicious person? or a cute dog?), say something (to whom? and what to say? something about the first something? or about something else entirely?). 

Ugh, what a debacle. I am glad that Roger here made some art about this mess of an attempt at communication.

Fashion is Danger

I heart Flight of the Conchords!

Treadmill + Final Cut Pro = Gareth Pugh AW09 Film

Really nice video, in all honesty.

Armory Show

Denise Grünstein, "Figure Out" from "The female gaze" (2009). C-print, non-reflective glass, and wood frame. 35 1/2 x 44 1/4 in. Edition of 5 + 2 AP. Available at the Galleri Charlotte Lund booth.

I've only gone to the Armory Show a few times, and then only when friends or family were showing in it, as I tend to find it super overwhelming and I want to smack people for trying way too hard to be arty. However, today I was perusing the show website and was taken by the above image by Denise Grünstein. It retails for $11,000.00. That's pretty pricey, even if the wigs are included. Anyway, if you have some free time you might find yourself in the area and want to take a gander at the show, which runs from March 5–8. If nothing else, you can find out what this year's Big Art Trend is -- the last time I attended the show, the Trend was photographs of piles of books -- every gallery that showed photography had one. One large, color, shiny, glossy print of a pile of books. How embarrassing!

This magazine is IT

Yes, Groomer to Groomer magazine is real. I checked. This month's edition features articles on "The Proper Use of Dryers" and "Be Careful With the Knees, Please!," among other gems.

TG has got to do a story for this magazine, post haste. Especially if we can feature a chicken.

this man speaks the truth

seriously. he is a truth teller. i often feel like a luddite because i don't want a cell phone that does anything but ring (no email, internet, blah blah) and i think flying is amazing. this dude knows his shit.

Hello Kitty for MAC film

It looks like our cat Marvin.

Amazing.

Women Milan's Auguste Tomasuite @ Jill Sander. At first I thought the tears were gelatin and a new makeup look on the runway and thought, "Finally, something new and interesting." But sadly no, these are the real tears of an overworked, underpaid, probably seriously underfed girl who is over her crap job. The image is beautiful and so, so, so sad. I want to give her a hug.

Love.

Bettina Komenda

Bettina Komenda makes some seriously bizarre and interesting work that I am really feeling. FYI she is a photographer in case you are confused. She also works with fashion still life and children, in addition to mens' and womens' fashion, which I find really interesting, and she does so without looking her insane style at all. A+ 100%.
