Joseph Beuys Likes New Wave and New Wave Likes Him

by Emily Colucci September 6, 2011September 6, 2011

When I hear of German performance artist Joseph Beuys, I think of felt, fat and riding in an ambulance to live in a New York apartment with a coyote in “I Like America and America Likes Me.” I certainly don’t think of a hilarious attempt at New Wave pop.

A Harajuku Cinderella Story

Avatar photo by Hrag Vartanian August 31, 2011August 31, 2011

This week’s Video Column pick had me at the abstract flatulence. Kyary (aka きゃり or Carrie) started as a Japanese fashion blogger, became a Harajuku fashion mag model, launched a line of fake eyelashes and now (since last month) she’s a Jpop phenom. What’s not to love?

Avatar photo by Hrag Vartanian August 2, 2011August 3, 2011

It’s incredible to think that back in 1973 performance artist Chris Burden used a recorded video excerpt of his performance that same year, “Through the Night Softly,” to create a 10-second black-and-white spot that was broadcast five times a week for four weeks on KHS-Channel 9 in LA.

Shepard Fairey’s Secret “Revealed”?

Avatar photo by Hrag Vartanian June 14, 2011June 22, 2011

I can’t believe TMZ is in the art game (you know you’re mainstream when … ) but the look on street artist Shepard Fairey’s face when his wife offers her take on if he goes out on the street posting stuff anymore is priceless. Ouch.

Lindsay Lohan Stars in Art Video, World Doesn’t End

by Kyle Chayka May 31, 2011May 31, 2011

Richard Philips might be better known in the art world as a photorealist painter, but the painter just turned videographer with an art project-cum-advertisement for celebrity and tabloid icon Lindsay Lohan.

General Idea Tells You to Shut the Fuck Up

Avatar photo by Hrag Vartanian May 10, 2011May 10, 2011
