‘Cube Light’
A new installation by the Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei–who also brought us the Sunflower Seeds at the Tate Modern–has been erected in the new Misa Shin Gallery in Tokyo. It looks absolutely incredible (more photos can be found at the Tokyo Art Beat website). I can’t wait to see one of his works in [...]

1 bit symphony
Tristan Perich’s 1-Bit Symphony is an electronic composition in five movements on a single microchip. Though housed in a CD jewel case like his first circuit album (1-Bit Music 2004-05), 1-Bit Symphony is not a recording in the traditional sense; it literally “performs” its music live when turned on. A complete electronic circuit—programmed by the [...]

Marclay has excerpted thousands of these fragments [...]

MAC/VAL – Let’s Dance!
MAC/VAL | Musée d’art contemporain du Val-de-Marne could be my new favorite contemporary art museum in Paris. It is definitely a trek to get to its location in the south-west of Paris (take line 8, exit liberte, then jump on the 180 bus for 30 min), but once there, you will be treated with a [...]

Runaway
Kanye West’s short film ‘Runaway‘ features the story of a Phoenix who falls to earth, falls in love, then returns to the sky. While the narrative is disjointed, and the images at times a bit perplexing (e.g. the Michael Jackson float being led by a marching band), in the end what West delivers is nothing [...]

ABOVE
“A picture is worth 1,000 words.” I sat for a while considering if I should describe this piece and the multi-layered meanings depicted in the painting?! The stencil and symbolism in the painting take on some heavy current topics of social, political, and racial issues just to name a few. I decided it’s best for [...]

Sunflower Seeds at the Tate
The amazing sunflower seed exhibition at the Tate Modern in London, has been closed due to “too much dust!” I was really looking forward to seeing this work by Chinese artist, Ai Weiwei. The exhibit features 100 million pieces of painted porcelain and is meant to create dialogue about the concept “made in China.” Visitors [...]

Miss Havisham Cake
Love this! “Great Expectations, the Miss Havisham Cake,” a crazy, vermin-infested caked created by the Hotham Street Ladies Art Collective submitted to the Melbourne Cake Show was disqualified on grounds of “bad taste.” So creative though!
