NYC///OPENINGS///OS GEMEOS’ “TOO FAR TOO CLOSE” AT DEITCH PROJECTS…

osgd-58.jpg

The two-headed Brasilian art phenomenon that is OS GEMEOS (Portuguese for “The Twins“) brought their fantastic art circus to NYC when their phenomenal show of new work “Too Far Too Close” opened at DEITCH PROJECTS as the art party of the summer on Saturday nite. In it, identical 24-year-old twin brothers GUSTAVO and OTAVIO PANDOLFO have created a sprawling cityscape within superstar downtown art dealer JEFFREY DEITCH’s cavernous Wooster Street space. Mirroring their psychedelic storybook street paintings that cover the city walls of their native Sao Paulo…

THE OC///OPENING NITE: THE DEBUT OF THE LAGUNA MUSEUM’S “JUXTAPOZ SHOW”…

jxt10730.jpg

As the editor of JUXTAPOZ ART MAGAZINE from 1996—2006, I had a personal stake in scoping out the LAGUNA MUSEUM’s “Juxtapoz” retrospective group show “In the Land of Retinal Delights” last nite. Celebrating the so-called “Juxtapoz Factor” in the modern art world, the exhibition chronicled the magazine’s golden age, the years when the underground art world literally exploded into public consciousness and began to permeate the fabric of everyday life in the form of ubiquitous art shows, innovative merchandise, and corporate marketing and advertising campaigns. Assembling a roster of over 150 artists including…

LA///HYPE 2.0///”MR BRAINWASH” KILLS HOLLYWOOD’S FEW REMAINING BRAIN CELLS…

mr-bwash.jpg

To call last nite’s opening of newly minted and ridiculously named “artist” MR BRAINWASH an “art show” would be a disservice to artists everywhere and even Mr Brainwash himself. Instead, let’s call it what it really is: a grand art prank of epic proportions. A heist. A spoof. A joke. Or maybe just the biggest, funnest, sloppiest high school art fair of all time. But let’s not call it an “art show.” Unfortunately, the majority of the Hollywood zombies lined up around the block for the better part of four hours awaiting entrance didn’t quite get the joke…

CHINA///ROADTRIPPING///CLIMBING THE GREAT WALL…

l1000958.jpg
One of the most memorable experiences in life has to be climbing the legendary GREAT WALL OF CHINA. Built between the 6th century BC and the 16th century, the 4,000 mile Great Wall was constructed to protect the northern borders of the Chinese Empire during the rule of successive dynasties. The area pictured here is closest to Beijing, the former capital city of the Ming Dynasty which was responsible for building the most strong, fortified, and enduring segments of the wall. At its peak, the Ming Wall was guarded by more than one million men and historical records indicate that around two to three million Chinese died as part of the centuries-long project of building the wall. Now, the colossal structure is a modern tourist trap where American, Euro, and native Chinese travelers mingle to gawk at each other and the monumental gigantitude of the twisting path before them.

NETHERLANDS///AN INTERVIEW WITH ANDREW SCHOULTZ…

ashoultz1-sharp.jpg

Dreamer & renderer of mythic battles, ANDREW SCHOULTZ made his solo European debut at the renowned MAMA GALLERY in Rotterdam Netherlands last week, bringing his chaotic and apocalyptic landscapes to the otherwise peaceful nation. Filled with a curious mix of Middle-Eastern and medieval imagery, Schoultz’ large-scale murals can be overwhelming in their complexity of composition and heavily layered imagery, both hallmarks that have come to define the artist’s enigmatic work. Now, in an attempt to de-mystify his oeuvre, Schoultz sounds off on the method to his madness in the enlightening interview below. HAVE A LOOK:
