Jonathan Feinstein talks to Grant Willing

Jon Feinstein: There has been a lot of talk over the past few years about how the internet and the digital age are changing the nature of photography, how populist photo sites like Flickr and JPEG magazine, and online art/photo projects like Tinyvices, Humble, and now Fjord (as well as a million blogs!) are dramatically […]

Diary of Miami Day Two

I went to Pulse yesterday. The amount of art at these fairs is astounding. You could see a thousand pieces in a day, and probably only remember the bad stuff. It is an exciting, yet slightly vertigo inducing, way to look at art. I’m still on the look out for a painting of William Shatner. […]

Diary of Miami Day One

Sleigh’s career reached its climax in the 70s when she decided to turn the male gaze in upon itself with some anti-traditional male odalisques. […]

There was a little Bigfoot who liked to play in mud pools after long days of rain. Mother Bigfoot always told him not to. Little Bigfoot never listened. One day, it rained a lot in the forest, but as the sun emerged from behind the clouds, little Bigfoot went outside to build a mud palace. […]

Till Gerhard talks to Nicholas Weist

Nicholas Weist: Till, the narratives of your paintings are generally scenes of vague horror, dystopia, or pop culture gone brutally wrong. Do you feel you paint from life, or is it more of a forecast, a forewarning? Till Gerhard: I would say that I certainly do paint from life, as a lot of my source […]

Palm Trees and Rollerblades: A Diary of the Miami Art Fairs

Every vocation, corporate franchise, sexual perversion or cultural obsession has its own annual convention. No matter what obscure hobby or freaky shit floats your boat, there is a fair, festival or convention to celebrate it.
