"Ms. Beecroft's efforts also relate to the girl-power approach to feminism that has all kinds of younger female artists asserting their autonomy by adopting behavior once considered and demeaning to women. "

"But just how separate or independent can that art be when it is commissioned by a commercial patron such as this powerful global brand?
Very independent, according to Yves Carcelle, the chairman and CEO of Louis Vuitton Malletier.
"We thought it was important to give the space we have here another dimension; to commission works of art to enable a very wide public to have contact with modern art."

"Banksy isn’t a street artist anymore. He may have made his name with anarchistic stencils over the past decade but there’s not a spraycan in sight in his latest show. Instead, his paintings and installations would sit happily with the 90s shock schlock of Damien Hirst et al."

roadsworth - montreal
"The grey area between graffiti and vandalism is more than theoretical for Roadsworth: his controversial street images have turned pavement into politics in the city of Montreal and rekindled debate about the nature of public art." read more

Fire hits SoHo building housing Prada store
"PRADA opened their first Epicenter store in New York City in December 2001. Designed by the Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), it is the first in three epicentres proposed for the USA. The epicentre is seen as a working experiment and is a space designed specifically to accommodate change - change in the store’s functionality, interactions, and content."

games*jokes
read this: "Surreality, as it turns out, is more seductive than incomplete reality."
made me think of Feng Mengbo's work for documenta.
"With "Quake III" as the basis of his work, Feng has come up with a very different sort of video game. On one hand, the keyboard has been replaced by a "dancing board" to allow users to control the game with their feet; on the other hand, Feng Mengbo has imparted a clearly ironic-political note to the game by inserting himself-camera in one hand, plasma gun in the other-into the game as an on-screen figure. Feng Mengbo is one of the leading Chinese media artists. His games, films and photographs reflect his unique style and creativity in dealing with virtual reality.
and also reminded me of haaning's turkish jokes presented at documenta also.
and pierre bismuth's jungle book.

hmmm
basquiat shoes.
via incepem
would you wear them or keep them as an untouchable work of art?
reminds me of haaning's travel agency
"By moving the gallerist from his office into the exhibition space and establishing collaboration with a travel agency, the gallery was transformed into a functioning travel agency with the gallerist working as a travel agent. The visitors of the exhibition had the possibility to buy flight tickets, train tickets, travel insurance etc. These services were sold cheaper than in other travel agencies, since they were sold as art objects, which in Germany are taxed lower than if the travels etc, were sold as normal services from a travel agency."
on the ticket it was written "THIS IS AN ARTWORK BY JENS HAANING VALID ONLY IF THE TICKET IS NOT USED"
what do you do? use it or keep it?

"Imagine waking up one morning to see your car has been tagged, only instead of dripping messy paint, your hood ornament is all snuggly warm in a knit cozy. If thatÂ’s not changing the world for the better we donÂ’t know what is. This just makes us smile and smile, and after all, isn't that what art should be all about? Where my Knittas at?!"
makes me think about christo.(smaller funnier post-feminist contemporary and many other words version of it).

portable exhibition inside volume4
guerilla girls and superflex are featured in this.
wonder if the girls did something new.
"volume is a project by AMO + C-LAB + Archis
The isolation of the self; the sacrosanct object; the solitude of ‘outstanding’ architecture. Are these signs of a moribund culture? If so, where did our vitality go? Can we find it in other domains? Can we re-animate, re-infuse ourselves with energy? Read how reality seeps through our unassailable myths and penetrates our splendid isolation."
