Shit!
Andres Serrano is one of my top favorite photographers, and I was sooo surprised to see he’s having a show at Yvon Lambert this fall, titled “Shit”. Most famously known for his piece, Piss Christ, Serrano is coming back to exploring bodily excrements in this new series, merging it together with bright backgrounds, that are similar to his last series, he gives the photos a sense of humour.

the black list
This documentary collaboration directed by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders and Elvis Mitchell who conducted the interviews premiered yesterday on HBO. The subjects range through different well-known Black individuals and touches upon their ideas and experiences of the Black identity in America. This doc follows in the spirit of Greenfield’s Blacklist photo series.

i’ve been a fan of heron preston’s blog for a while and look forward to checking out his newest project:
After Nature
After Nature
July 17th – September 21st
This is my favorite show curated at the New Museum so far. Each of the floors it’s shown on was filled with something that made me say, “cool” . I didn’t get a chance to make sure, but I do believe there was a ” live person” installation … either that or some weird lady was laying on the floor rolling around and looking crazy, which either way is pretty effective. The exhibit brought together a conglomerate of works by artists that weaved together perfectly in creating a sense of trauma. I was especially captivated by the work of Maurizio Cattelan, Allora and Calzadilla, Pawet Althamer, and Roger Ballen.
They also have a little online exhibit as well: check it out here.
Lauren Kelly
Lauren Kelly’s part of the New Museum’s Altoid Awards exhibit up now in their lobby. I gravitated towards her work because of it’s racial subject matter shown through a stop action animation with black Barbies. It was pretty cool to see something like that in a Museum.
Here’s some info on her. Check out the show at the New museum.
Lauren Kelley
Lauren Kelley uses stop-motion animation to explore stereotypes of femininity and race. By using her voice to speak for a cast of black dolls, Kelley breathes life into plastic characters while poignantly and humorously addressing issues such as gender, womanhood, and the human condition. Whether telling stories of unplanned pregnancy or exploring the world of flight attendants, Kelley’s work introduces its viewers to a world in which dolls and puppets are caught in endless streams of consciousness and are trapped in a bizarre theater of the absurd. Kelley was born in 1972 in Baltimore, Maryland, and currently lives and works in Houston, Texas.

I’ve been dying to go to Coney Island this summer, but I haven’t made it there yet…and now I’ve accumulated yet another reason to visit the BK beach…Steven Powers aka ESPO has a public installation dealing with torture at Guantanamo Bay, that I must go see.
arturo herrera
Herrera has a few ‘drippy’ pieces up at Sikkema for their group show. He had a piece similar to this image up , it was made with black felt and semi-big. The pieces I was really drawn to were these delicate collages he created. But, sheesh, his work reminds me of some pieces I’m making too. Gonna keep a look out for more of his work.
