Way II War

What the what? Way To War, that’s what! Kirin J. Callinan is hands down the best thing to hit my inbox this month. Coming to you from Australia via our friends Terrible Records in the U.S. (and Siberia Records in Australia), it’s great to know what really happened to Paul Pfeiffer from The Wonder Years (just kidding). Launching [...]

Maryam Nassir Zadeh

Jonas à La Carte

It was the evening when Venus and Jupiter were perfectly aligned and reached its closest point to the human eye. I was getting ready for dinner with the “godfather” of American avant-garde cinema – Jonas Mekas. Filmmaker, poet and curator, Mekas is a living monument. He fled his native Lithuania at age 22, trying to [...]

Grand Rapids, New York

When I heard that our friend Alex Niemetz’s band was scheduled to drop a video for their single, I was stoked. Just in time for summer and pizza, Grand Rapids are a young, downtown New York-based country-garage band, and watching this today reminded me that, “yes, I do like rock and roll.” The band formed in 2009 and [...]

Presenting Comedy, By Olive Ingrid Leiss

Who is Eleanor Friedberger?  A musician, we think. More importantly, who was Eleanor Friedberger’s miniature on-stage ingenue-companion during her March 24 performance at the Crowley Theater in Marfa, Texas? (Ballroom Marfa invited Eleanor to partake in a weeklong residency and recording session at the Marfa Recording Company which culminated in the performance at the Crowley). [...]

Red Rum

It’s Friday the 13th. Why not celebrate by playing in traffic or painting something black? Or you can always get killed by this new video from our friend Tezo. Have a miserable day and see you in hell.

Forever Vision

Josh Slater is an artist known for his trippy, psychedelic line drawings of complex geometric shapes. His references combine science fiction and other futuristic influences with natural wonders of the world ike moss and other stuff like that. His latest thing is taking his graphic skills off of the page and making multi-dimensional videos, sculptures [...]

My Happy Place Sounds Like This

I know you are not supposed to post something on the internet that is more than a day old, and this came out way back at Thanksgiving but it makes me so incredibly happy and I thought I might share the love. Again. Cause it’s that good. I never really understood why everyone loved Florence [...]

Parasimpatico

Parasimpatico, a multimedia exhibition that recently concluded, is the first major solo exhibition in Italy by Pipilotti Rist, a boundary-breaking Swiss artist. Her installations, which transform the medium of film by reinventing language and employing expositive procedures, have been exhibited worldwide at musuems including MOMA in New York and Centre Pompidou in Paris. By tapping [...]
