Scott Andrew and I met up this March near his home in Pittsburgh’s Squirrel Hill. Scott is a multimedia artist, whose solo work dances across immersive videos, installations, sculptures, and performances to “evoke a childlike yearning for play.” Scott is also a primary collaborator and co-founder of the Institute for New Feeling, “a research clinic committed…
I stumbled upon Julie’s work on Instagram, my daily source of artistic fiber. I experienced a kind of visceral glee from gazing at her visually arresting paintings surmounted only by the longing to see (and perhaps touch) her works in person. She successfully marries a stunning painting practice with tactile elements that emerge from the canvas….
Truth be told, I would have loved to sit down with Rebecca Reeves in person to pick her brain about her art work, which begs to be further investigated. However, as Bucks County and San Francisco are separated by a vast 2,900 miles, we had to settle for a digital exchange. My initial investigations of…
Time is the strangest thing, and that is especially apparent here in Nebraska. I arrived two weeks ago and find myself asking what has happened since. Three hours can pass by like three seconds back home. It’s not that I haven’t been working, I have – on doors, on temples, on crocheting giant socks –…
Amber Imrie-Situnayake’s Picks @amberimrie I was fortunate enough to travel out to New York last weekend for three days! I took this time to indulge in a much needed art-cation, I went from galleries to museums, and returned home with a stack of new books and even some small works of art! Since this trip…
“Those rich motherfuckering landlords couldn’t wait to get us out so they could build their precious condo.” My studio neighbor conspiratorially leans into me as we chat in the hallway of our new artist work building. After being booted from our former artist warehouse in Glassell Park, many of us moved together into a new…
Tides is a series of wearable garments by Amabelle Aguiluz, whose work we’ve been following since the beginning of the year. Her influences very much derive from bodies of water and the organisms that live in them. From the first time I saw her work at Art Share LA to her collaborative residency with Szalt Dance Co and their…
Basement Gallery Announces art opening, work by Edwards Symes, curated by Anja Ulfedt. Opening Friday October 9th, 7-9pm
I had found out about Matt Hall’s work, like so many other artists I have found recently, through Instagram. I loved the way he was combining traditional skeletal articulation and conceptual ideas. Pouring over the sculptures and cabinets on his website, I saw little hints of Joseph Cornell, Mark Dion, and a sort of Mellvinian…
SUBJECT: Corporate Art Opportunity Dear Idiot Artist, Would you like to put a whole bunch of your art in a corporate lobby for the people who work there to admire/ignore for a full year? If so, we’ll pay you 1,000 to 2,000 dollars per year–that’s PER YEAR–depending on the size of the lobby. But wait,…
