Art of The Carnegie Hall 0910 Season Guide



A feeling of satisfaction, of joy, even, came to me as I opened my mailbox tonight and found a copy of Carnegie Hall’s 0910 Season Guide.

Perhaps, this is the first time Carnegie Hall sent me the guide for the entire upcoming season; based on my recent experience seeing the YouTube Symphony Orchestra on April 15th [...]

James Turrell Holograms @ Pace Wildenstein



I attended James Turrell: Large Holograms opening tonight in Chelsea and I was impressed with what I saw.  Turrell’s Holographic Paintings don’t translate well in Photographs.
I tried making a short video to see if, by moving around the holographic paintings, I could capture some of the effects that are missing in the photos I [...]

England Invaded Again



It’s the last few days of the Invader show at the Lazarides gallery in Rathbone place (closes September 12th). I finally made it down to have a look around and also had a hunt around a bit for some new street pieces. My two favourites have to be these large pieces found above head height in Shoreditch.



 



The gallery show itself occupies the ground floor of the Lazarides gallery in Rathbone place. It’s all been superbly documented on Wallkandy’s flickr stream so head on over there for a comprehensive look. In the meantime here’s a couple of photos of the large Rubik’s cube piece occupying the back room and a bit about the quick code pieces on display:




I liked the way Invader had constructed pieces out of tiles that can be read by camera phone bar code readers. If you’ve got a camera phone on your mobile you may even have the software to read these pictures without realising it. On my Nokia I found a barcode scanner under Office applications and it’s a simple case of opening that up and pointing it at the picture – you should even be able to ‘read’ these pictures by pointing your camera at them online as well (especially the one Ive simplified at the bottom). When one of these 2D barcodes is recognised the reader will translate it into text or a link.

Welcome Back Art World!! Tonight the L.E.S Galleries Open Up..!

Yes..It’s the start to the busy Fall Art Season in NYC. Yea!! To start it off right.. tonight all the uber hip galleries on the Lower East Side, have joined forces for a joint night opening extravaganza. FYI.. Much to MAO’s surprise.. It would seem they’ve also signed a deal with the devil, aka Big Money with The Armory Show for some added media exposure. We’d guess the regular flood of gallery applications for their NeXT Art fair might have slowed down to a trickle a bit, perhaps..?? Anyway.. it’s great to see such a coordination… should make for a…

Seen On The Streets Of Williamsburg

From Chris – “Saw this in Williamsburg, corner of Lorimer and Metropolitan Ave. I’m hoping someone has appropriated a key to open the panel and created their own art. The book is from 1993, so I am assuming it is not an Ad.”

Mystery solved. The phonebooths are the work of Jordan Seiler. You can see more of them here.
