New York è terra di nes- suno — come quella di John Carpenter —, da cui fuggire, come lo scenario del fi lm I guerrieri della notte. Così Spencer Sweeney ribalta una macchina della polizia sul soffi tto sostituendo alle sirene luci stroboscopiche. Creare uno spazio aperto all’interno di una mostra a Downtown è un invito a condividere un’occasione di visibilità con la propria gang. Rimane memorabile la serra dove Peter Coffi n ospita band come i Black Dice, come poi è so- lito fare AVAF (assume vivid astro focus) nelle sue installazioni. Ma l’operazione più riuscita è quella di Dash Snow e Dan Colen che con altri Warhol’s Children9 occupano Deitch Projects per un party notturno trasformandolo in Nest (2007), sporco antro urbano tappezzato da tag dove suonano i Gang Gang Dance. La distanza tra strada e galleria si accorcia. Le mostre di Steve Powers, KAWS, Neck Face e Swoon, come quelle degli artisti della San Fran- cisco Mission School, Barry McGee, Margaret Kilgallen e Chris Johanson, sono un inno alla street culture. Le loro opere raccontano di re- ietti, immigrati clandestini, senzatetto. Dipinti, disegni, wall painting e installazioni riproducono angoli bui della città di notte, insegne di piccoli negozi, rifi uti. I loro riferimenti vanno dai graffi ti all’arte folk, una generazione di “Beautiful Lo- sers”, come la battezza Aaron Rose nella grande mostra di cui molti sono protagonisti.

A intenção, de fato, é bastante restrita: trata-se de descrevê-lo e problematizá-lo, pensando-o em contraponto à sonoridade e à performance musical da banda.

  • Town & Country April, 2011 the Culture: Art
    Town & Country April, 2011 The Culture: Art Shows of the Season Rachel Wolf Who'll claim contemporary art supremacy this month: L.A. or New York? California's newest art impresario, Los Angeles's Museum of Contemporary Art director Jeffrey Deitch, is finally making waves in his new home. Along with a team of graffiti gurus, he'll launch the country's first full-scale museum survey of street art. "ART IN THE STREETS" (April 17-Aug. 8 at the Geffen Contemporary) traces the movement from its roots-with works by Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat to contemporary practitioners like Banksy and Shepard Fairey. It's already deliciously controversial: In December, Deitch was accused of censorship when he painted over a MoCA-commissioned mural by the street artist Blu meant to promote the April exhibition. (Deitch thought residents would be offended by the antiwar work, which depicted coffins shrouded in $1 bills.) And contentiousness won't be in short supply on the East Coast either, thanks to KARA WALKER, the New York artist best known for her raunchy silhouettes and stop-motion animations about race and womanhood. On April 23, Walker mounts her largest exhibition of new work since 2008, a two-venue show at Chelsea's Sikkema Jenkins gallery and Lehmann Maupin's Lower East Side locale (through June 4). Of particular interest is a new video that builds on the scenic work Walker did for Lincoln Center's recent production On the Levee, a drama about the worst river flood, pre-Katrina, in U.S. history. .

  • Brian Gibson (Musician)
    Brian Gibson (musician) Brian Gibson (born July 25, 1975) is a musician and artist based out of Providence, Rhode Island. Gibson is best known as the bassist for the band Lightning Bolt. Sound[edit]. Brian Gibson is particularly known for his unique and complex set-up, tuning, and use of his bass guitar. The majority of Gibson's playing draws on fairly simple loops and major/minor chord structures, yet also employs more advanced guitar techniques, such as tapping. Gibson uses a high amount of distortion, feedback and effects. Brian Gibson (born July 25, 1975) is a musician and artist based out of Providence, Rhode Island. Gibson is best known as the bassist for the band Lightning Bolt. In the summer of 2015 he co-founded the game development company Drool. At Drool, he created the art and music for the video game Thumper and co-designed the game alongside Marc Flury. Thumper was released with critical acclaim in October 2016. Bryan Gibson grew up playing baseball, riding BMX bikes, and exploring the woods of the quaint town of Orangeburg, SC. It wasnâ™t until fourteen years after his birth on New Yearâ™s Eve that he picked up a guitar and tried his hand at a set of strings. That was also the year his grandmother Gibson passed awayâ”the first major death in his life. âœUp until that time, I hadnâ™t really been exposed to mortality,â says Bryan. âœI was nowhere near being able to grasp the idea that this all wasnâ™t forever. Brian Gibson is a musician and artist based out of Providence, Rhode Island.

  • You Don't Immediately Think of Jeffrey Deitch and Larry Gagosian As
    Pogrebin, Robin. Jeffrey Deitch and Larry Gagosian to Collaborate in Miami, The New York Times, October 15, 2015. You don’t immediately think of Jeffrey Deitch and Larry Gagosian as collaborators. Indeed, the two were historically competitors, dealers who represented some of the same artists at different points in their careers. But these art world heavyweights — both protégés of the dealer Leo Castelli — have known each other for years and de- cided for the first time to collaborate. The result is an ambitious exhibition on figurative painting and sculpture in Miami in December. “Larry and I have wanted to do a project together for some time,” Mr. Deitch said. “Everything came together.” The show, “Unrealism,” opens on Dec. 1 in a 20,000-square-foot space in the Moore Building in the Miami Design District and will remain through the week of Art Basel Miami Beach (Dec. 3 through 6). Craig Robins, the developer who spear- headed the district, offered Mr. Gagosian the space, and Mr. Gagosian said he thought of Mr. Deitch. “He’s one of the most imaginative, innovative curators out there,” he said. “My gallery represents a lot of figurative artists. I think it’s a very important part of what’s going on now.” Mr. Deitch had long wanted to explore the subject in a show, but said he never had the chance as the director of the Mu- seum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. When he returned to New York, he was struck by the work of emerging figurative painters — many of them women — like Ella Kruglyanskaya, Jamian Juliano-Villani and Tala Madani.

  • A Large Shipment of Swimsuits Has Dropped in the Lap of Greek Artist Ioanna Pantazopoulou, Facilitating the Creation of Her Latest Ephemeral Monument
    A large shipment of swimsuits has dropped in the lap of Greek artist Ioanna Pantazopoulou, facilitating the creation of her latest ephemeral monument. Pantazopoulou has a knack of masterfully mining the detritus of our everyday consumer culture and transforming it into epic sensation. For this exhibition the artist has created a temporary residence in the gallery by altering the space with a large-scale hut. Ioanna’s sculptures are created on site, therefore the space becomes a vital component to the development of the work. The outcome, simultaneously rough, fragile, and ambiguous, provides a trace of her activity. The viewer will be presented with a hypnotic web of interlocking bikinis used as a curtain wall for the structure. The roof of the dwelling is composed of an excess of tinsel streamers. Pantazopoulou became fascinated with the material after visiting a variety of used car dealerships. The overabundance of bikinis and streamers subvert their original leisurely intentions, and in this new incarnation are used to build an eerie setting. According to the artist the experience of disorder and unexpected combinations is manifested throughout by the re-inventing of rules. In addition to the large scale work there will be a variety of smaller works sculpted from discarded rope climbing gear, hundreds of smuggled Cuban cigar labels, and cast aside piano keys. Brian Chippendale's airy new paintings unveil a secret inner world assembled from raw drawing, scrawled notes, and compulsive doodles. By shedding the density of his past work, Chippendale trades out his heavily-populated collages for visually lighter canvases. The artist’s characteristic rainbow-hued palette remains at play as he edits out the layered space with white to carve out a new arena for expression.
