Shirin Neshat at the Gladstone Gallery through February 23 2008-02-19 06:27:00 Press Release:Shirin NeshatJanuary 19 - February
23, 2008Gladstone Gallery
is pleased to announce an exhibition of new video installations and photographs by artist Shirin Neshat, her third solo exhibition at the gallery. Neshat’s work engages the viewer through powerful images, sweeping scores, and evocations of human passions and desires, while examining the social tropes that both stratify and unite. Neshat pitches these dialectics of East/West, man/woman, and oppressor /oppressed, to such a degree that these seemingly immutable polarities become malleable locations for query. In two new films and accompanying photographs, Neshat continues her exploration of Shahrnush Parsipur’s novel Women Without Men.In adapting the magical realism of Parsipur’s fantastic retelling of the 1953 c

Promo for Cartoon Network by Shilo 2008-02-06 06:29:00 In the tradition of "don't forget to animate the lyrics" (See Kanye Wests' "The Good Life" earlier on this blog) we found one, very nicely executed promo by Shilo, for Cartoon
Network. Again, we feel two sided about this: beautiful execution, great typography, but not a terribly original idea. However, pretty edgy for a kid's network promo which also deserves kudos.[By way of Motionographer.com]. Read more:Promo

Bruno Munari Exhibition 2008-02-01 06:18:00 Scultura da Viaggio, 1958Ferro Verniciato, 43x50x54cmCollezione Privata, MilanoVia SHIFT magazine comes a lovely article on the inspiring Bruno
Munari.The presence of Bruno Munari spanned so many decades of Italian culture – roughly from the early 30s to the 90s and influenced various fields as painting, industrial and graphic design and pedagogic methods: the temptation to call the Milanese, "master" is almost an inescapable temptation only softened by his love for lightness of touch and the constant use of irony and paradox that elude the pomposity of such a definition.Bruno Munari Exhibition

Stefan Sagmeister & Michel Gondry at Deitch projects. 2008-01-25 06:10:00 Two of my heroes and creative role models exhibit back to back at Deitch projects in New York; Stefan Sagmeister and Michel Gondry. Sagmeister proclaimed that Style= Fart at an AIGA sponsored lecture at Cranbrook Academy of Art back in 1999 when I was a student there. His graphic design is often informed by sharp wit and smart, insightful social commentary. And if you are even mildy interested in Music Videos or accessible Avant Garde films, the groundbreaking work by director Michel Gondry can't be missed.

"Brooklyn Boys Make Tambourine Dream" Flagrant Fowl article on New York Observer 2008-01-11 14:50:00 ...On a sweltering night this past summer, at a crammed two-story house party deep in the outskirts of Williamsburg, Cole Gerard dropped his remix of Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m On Fire” on a pair of turntables. You could hear the pounding “slow mo disco” beat (as Mr. Gerard describes it) from the rooftop, where revelers escaped for a smoke and a view of the industrial skyline. In the kitchen, Springsteen’s original plinking guitar line was the lullaby for partiers passed out on the tile floor. Spank Rock, the underground Philly party rapper, was getting a lap dance in a dark corner. The living room was packed, the air thick with sweat and cigarette smoke and hormone-induced heavy breaths from dancers making out, shouting out requests and falling off tables and sofa cushions.
