An interview with Nina Katchadourian about her video, “SkyMall Kitties.”

“It's rare that we encounter someone who loves SkyMall as much as we do. But this week, SkyMall Monday is honored, excited and a wee bit giddy to profile not a product, but a person whose singular passion has enriched our lives. Nina, an artist based in Brooklyn, NY, produced the song and video that pay tribute to the cats of SkyMall. Needless to say, she has a place at the SkyMall Monday table anytime she chooses to join us.”

Masami Teraoka has an artist page on Celeste Network: an international art prize and network for arts professionals, and discusses the aesthetic and ideas behind his work:

“Weaving news media, reality, fantasy, visionary, imaginary and otherworldly reality with humor, line, form and color, commentary, topicality, and a high level of aesthetics is a challenge. I try to focus on current issues articulated on a metaphorical level rather than recreating a mere copy of reality.”

Artist’s Reception & Program: February 24, 7 pm

“An artistic pun can be very amusing, as can art based upon clever wit, farcical satire, or fanciful whimsy. This show is a sampling of works by 16 artists who use such potentially droll approaches, from artists who make humor the central theme of their work, to those who only occasionally decide to tickle our funny bone.”

Brief write-up about Travis Somerville exhibition, “...A Portion of that Field,” at the Charlie James Gallery in Los Angeles.

“His omnivorous use of found and recycled materials doubles as both vintage, primary sources and politically-charged imagery expressing the volatile history of American race relations; and as juxtaposed elements in lively, engaging compositions.”

This exhibition is concurrent with “Rededicated to the proposition...” at Catharine Clark Gallery.

Exhibition: Ray Beldner


New work from Ray Beldner shown at the Cerritos College Art Gallery exhibition, “RE:CREATION : Serious Play with Canonical Art”

“From February 8th to March 18th, the Cerritos College Art Gallery will transform itself into a seriously playful replica of the archival repositories and exhibitionary complexes that have traditionally dominated art historical discourses of canonical inclusion and organization; i.e. museums. Each of the works displayed on the stage of this simulated museum performatively recreate milestones from the partisan canon(s) of art history, but present them with/in divergent materials and/or interdisciplinary conceptual frameworks.”

and dematerialized vision of the society. “

“Walter Robinson’s Sculpture Making Down to a Fine Art,” a blog entry about Walter Robinson:

“[he’s] a sculptor who like to poke holes in pop cultural icons any chance he gets, like this “Pyramid (Abu Gharib Minnies)” piece, featuring Disney’s favorite female vermin. Although we’re usually not too keen on artsy farsty language, we like this description of his work:
‘Walter Robinson creates sculptural installations that deliver slick candy coated indictments of popular culture, sometimes further emboldened with tactile resin coated surfaces, glitter and cheap gems.’”

“Re-Present” at Elizabeth Leach features Adam Chapman’s “Diagram of Isolated Moments Forming a Memory.”
Exhibition runs February 04 - March 27, 2010

“Diagram of Isolated Moments Forming a Memory by Adam Chapman (San Francisco, CA) is a single channel programmed animation, framed and mounted as if it were a traditional drawing, in which colored lines and forms swim around, periodically forming representational portraits of the artist’s close friends and family. Every second of the installation is original. The piece is rule-generated and not a fixed composition, with a complete two-hour cycle forming fifty portraits. Chapman seeks to capture those fleeting, euphoric moments in which one catches a glimpse of clarity; a second of understanding one’s self, as well as one’s relationships.”

The exhibition, “Telling Stories,” featuring films by Christoph Draeger, opens on February 4 and runs until March 6.

Screening on February 11

“Storytelling came into politics for the first time under Ronald Reagan's presidency in the 1980s in appearance. Als Reaktion auf die unaufhaltsame Kommunikationsflut und Ausbreitung der Massenmedien entwickelte sich jenes innere Kontrollsystem, das auf Szenarien und zotige Anekdoten baute und bald an die Stelle sachlicher Argumentation in offiziellen Ansprachen trat. In response to the unstoppable tide of communication and the spread of mass media developed that internal control system, based on scenarios and built ribald anecdotes and soon took the place of argument in official speeches.”

Another press article for the exhibition is available below:

"This is a fine show, serving up a lot of ideas about media, I recommend it. If you haven’t been to this gallery take a peek inside…from the outside it does have a little of that “I don’t wanna go in there because I don’t know what they will expect of me” look, but buck up, as my uncle Charlie would say, “what’s the worst that could happen?” No. Don’t start thinking about that."

Exhibition: Christoph Draeger


Christoph Draeger’s movie, “The End of the Remake Trilogy: Hippie Movie” and two additional film shorts will be shown at the MoMA:

“Hippie Movie is a funny, romantic documentary about a "hippie" movement, named Tropolicalia, which was founded by Draeger in Warsaw as an ironic revisiting of San Francisco’s Summer of Love, 1967. The film meditates on the political, social, and cultural behavior associated with the hippie movement, which confronted many issues—rising social injustice, an unpopular war, ecological concerns—that seem to be making a comeback today.”
