Welcome to David Jien‘s surreal, isometric world, where you will find sex and violence right along with worship and reverence. The Los Angeles artist’s mixed media drawings are large, obsessive and detailed… stylistically like a cross between old Asian scrolls and Super Nintendo.

excentrique(s) by artist daniel buren for the 2012 annual monumenta at the grand palais in paris. buren’s installation attempts to reconcile the human scale with the cavernous environs into which it has been inserted. it functions as a continuous canopy of twister-colored circular pavillions that cover the space’s 13,500 square meter ground floor. the resulting supra-structure is calibrated to the minimum height required for the standard paris apartment, forming a low-lying enclosed space that drowns visitors in dampened color & light-laced shadow.

On Saturday, April 7, 2012, artist Cai Guo-Qiang orchestrated a site-specific public explosion for the opening of his “Sky Ladder” exhibition at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA. Entitled “Mystery Circle”, this live piece involved 40,000 rockets placed in the formation of an extraterrestrial and crop circles that detonated before the large art crowd in Los Angeles.

The creation of this new gunpowder drawing was overwhelming and terrifying, as seen here in this video documenting the historic event.

BITNB artist Skinner‘s latest solo exhibition, “The Undermining Satanic Energies Of An Incongruent Suburban Sickness”, is currently on view at Cotton Candy Machine in Brooklyn, NY.

Best known for his super-colorful demonic paintings with detailed linework, Sacramento-based Skinner returned to New York in April to put together this large body of work. “The Undermining Satanic Energies…” consists of original paintings, prints, and monster masks — all showcased in front of large, 3D murals painted on the boutique’s walls. Guests at the crowded opening were given 3D glasses with which to take in all of the neon monster fun.

The exhibition runs through May 6th, so if you’re in New York, there is still a bit of time to catch it! While you’re there, be sure to also check out Skinner’s recently released book, “Every Man Is My Enemy.”

the aérial exhibition features the work of french artist baptiste debombourg and is the first part of the new series of shows, which in the coming years will transform the column hall of the former benedictine abbey into a cultural space.

sculptor baptiste debombourg is known for his spatial arrangements, which are made from objects and materials that are commonly found in our everyday lives. these destroyed pieces, which have been rebuilt, convey their own narratives which can be interpreted in many ways but mostly as a commentary or a socially critical statement about the world we live in.

for the first part of the new series of shows titled spiritual ground, the artist has created a stunning spatial installation, which was specifically conceived for the abbey’s column hall. a wave of broken glass is installed entering the space from the windows ‘carrying’ with it the light from the outside that passes through the glass. the fact that the abbey’s column hall is a historically charged space whose original function has changed so many times over the centuries, contributes to making the installation even more interesting. in the past it functioned as a beggars institute, a concentration camp, a cologne gestapo prison and as a mental hospital.  in playing with the idea of the multiple transformations of the space, baptiste debombourg chose glass as a material, which in a way reflects those complexities and changes.

Dan Monick is a Los Angeles based photographer, director, zine publisher and color xerox enthusiast.

BITNB: Can you tell us a little more about your band Lifter/Puller?

Dan Monick: Most fun I ever had playing in a band.  Its amazing that people still seem to care about it 11 years after we broke up.  Power of music I guess.

BITNB: You have a zine publishing company Fathersons, can you talk a little more about that? Are you working on anything right now that you’re excited about?

DM: 20 pages/8.5×5.5/edition of 20/$5  you can buy them here:

Right now I am figuring out who we are releasing next.  So far we have worked with Cali Dewitt, iO Tillett, and Justin Van Hoy.

I just love color xerox and staples and tape and xerox…

BITNB: You tend to use a lot of models over and over, can you talk about how those relationships and personalities influence your work?

DM: When I find some one who 1. gets my jokes and 2. is mostly concerned about making a really amazing image and the communication that goes into that, I tend to squeeze every last drop out of them I can.

BITNB: Can you tell us more about your book Seven Years with Atmosphere and Rhymesayers, and how you got involved with that?

DM: I’ve been shooting Atmosphere and Rhymesayers since 1998. We had to do something with all those damn photos

BITNB: How was shooting our Spring video?

DM: Awesome, awesome and awesome!
Most fun I’ve ever had while shooting 757 different looks!

Los Angeles-based artist Camilla Taylor has an upcoming solo exhibition entitled “The Disagreement” opening on May 5th. Held at CSUF Grand Central Center’s Education Gallery, this body of work consists of Camilla’s work in printmaking, both in two-dimensional and three-dimensional form.

Her three-dimensional sculptures involve dark, mysterious figures made of steel and fabric. Viewers are confronted by the overwhelming presence of these figures with their long, tentacle-like limbs, as well as the haunting shapes left behind by cast shadows and negative space.

“My work invites the viewer to empathize with the figures, often without ever reaching beyond the uncanny quality of being inanimate bodies. The figures engage with each other in their posture and position in a room, and sometimes engage the viewer. Their ambiguity and lack of personality invites the viewer to associate with the figures, to lose themselves, while at the same time implying anonymity in the viewer.”

Over the last four years, in addition to creating his large-scale paintings, Los Angeles painter Alex Gross has also been making mixed media works on top of vintage cabinet cards. Gross transforms the original subjects in the Victorian photographs into a variety of comic book heroes and villains, as well as other zany pop culture characters.

Gross’ new book, “Now And Then, The Cabinet Card Paintings of Alex Gross”, collects 98 of these mixed media paintings into one hardcover volume and is now available from Gingko Press.

new york based architect & artist marcos zotes transformed the largest church in iceland, hallgrímskirkja church in reykjavík, iceland into a spectacular & interactive light installation called rafmögnuð náttúra.

rafmögnuð náttúra is a temporary & site-specific light installation that animates the facade of the church with a large 3d video-mapping projection. zotes intention was to intervene in the city by socially activating the church’s surrounding public space.

zotes explained, “with rafmögnuð náttúra, i wanted to subvert the static & symbolic condition of hallgrímskirkja church & temporarily turn it into a dynamic & interactive social experience. the idea is to make people confront their everyday urban environment with a critical aptitude towards its potential uses.” he goes on to say, “as an architect & artists, i see the traditional modes of operation in the field of architecture as very limited in regards to the current economic, social, & political global conditions. it is in the blurring of boundaries between different fields & the sharing of knowledge that we can find new opportunities for creativity & innovation.”

collaborators included chris jordan, thessia machado, andrea dart, noa younse, steven tsai, coco karol, azmimert erdem, raghul sridharan & icelandic band “for a minor reflection”.

The Tomatino Festival obviously looks like a total blast, I can’t help but think how much everybody must stink afterward.  The Holi Festival of Colors is a Hindi celebration of spring where for two days, the  social boundaries of class, race, age, and sex take a little bit of a break, and pretty much all bets are off. People throw brightly-colored perfumed powder in the air, at one another, and generally run around looking like human tie-dye. The festival is a huge tourist attraction, which is perhaps why many of the videos commemorating it have a spring-breaky vibe, but this piece from NY-based production company Variable adds some breathtaking gravitas to the joyous occasion.

Last weekend, I stopped by 941Geary in San Francisco to check out Amsterdam-based artist Niels Shoe Meulman’s solo exhibition. Entitled “Justified Scriptures”, the show featured the artist’s signature “calligraffiti” works in both small and large formats. Written on everything from a car hood to stretched linen to the floor itself, Shoe’s beautiful calligraphic letters filled the entire 3,000 square foot warehouse gallery.

The show is open until April 21st, and if you are in the San Francisco area, this is a definite must-see.

sandworm by marco casagrande. wenduine, belgium.

sandworm is an organic structure realized on the dunes of the wenduine coastline, belgium. the installation is made entirely out of willow & is 45 metres long & 10 metres wide & high. inside the sandworm you are greeted by a natural spectacle of light & shadow. finnish artist marco casagrande believes that architectural control goes against nature & thus also against architecture. the built human environment is a mediator between human nature & nature itself. he believes design should not replace reality. the building must grow out of the location, it must react to its environment, it must be a reflection of life & also be itself, as every other living being.

“Everything is a Remix is a four-part video series about influence and appropriation in creation”

On top of being super entertaining and informative, the message behind EIAR seems particularly important in an age when freedom of expression can get tangled up in obscure notions of intellectual property that translate into damaging litigation. Even below that is a nasty form of schadenfreude (read: haterade) that has permeated online communities, and it’s all about belittling other’s hard work and creativity by “calling them out” on their references. Kirby Ferguson argues that creativity and invention—even when it seems incredibly new and revolutionary—have always been about influence and appropriation; and while the internet has allowed for greater transparency of this process, nothing has fundamentally changed about the way ideas get put into action. The series covers examples of re-mixing from music, history, and technology, discusses the fine line between homage, influence, and plagiarism, and in my favorite episode, deconstructs the filmic and historical references behind Star Wars, arguably one of the most original and groundbreaking movies.

Peep the first installment below, then watch the rest here. The series homepage also has a great blog for continued discussion on these issues.

Disco makes a comeback where the object which represented it to the full arises from the dead to be revived by the artistic group known as ROTGANZEN. Based in Rotterdam/Schiedam, its three founders Robin Stam (1981), Joeri Horstink(1982) and Mark van Wijk (1984), all hail from the Willem de Kooning Academy of Art.  Their artworks which they describe as, ‘melted disco balls’, consist of glittering blobs which are amorphously shaped.  Covered in a layer of intricate mirror pieces which make up their mosaic type outer skin, they take us back to the days, not only of glorious ‘disco’ itself, but to a past glory through their new, fresh and irregular shape. One could say that their abstract forms portray the Daliesquestyle of a time that has gone by. In saying that however, these pieces do not express melancholia, but rather exude humor and motion and it is this ideology which is cleverly interpreted in the relationship between the blobs and the exhibit space that they inhabit.

The blobs themselves are being exhibited as part of a collection titled ‘Quelle Fête’’, currently on view at two different locations:

‘Quelle Fête I’  is a commissioned piece which is currently on display at the Wennekerpand in Schiedam, an old distillery which was originally home to the Jenever Vodka brand. In keeping the concept as simple as possible, the firsthand relationship between the art and the space, as well as the ubiquitous intermarriage of alcohol and disco, are artfully portrayed. The fun side of this exhibit shines through, for example, through the positioning of the artworks on top of partitions where the disco ball all but oozes down the partition in a cheeky and voluptuous manner. Ultimately, it’s up to you as to how you perceive this tongue-in-cheek depiction of the disco ball. Is it over-the-top or simply a mischievous take on the 70s and 80s icon of fun? Whatever you decide, one thing is for sure, these melted mirror balls make for fun viewing offering a trip down memory lane into another era.

‘Quelle Fête II’ recently showed at the group exhibition ‘Dek22 Like’ hosted in Rotterdam at Dek22 Gallery. Here, the disco sculptures located on the entrance level, entice and enthrall with their obvious intimacy and togetherness, all presented in a glitzy package. It is as if two items have been brought together through emotion and sensuality and are now acting as one where the sole pieces almost seem to move along with the beat of the drum. They create a sense of occasion where everything is very alive; where everyone comes together to ‘the sound of Disco Beats’.

These glorious glitzy globs never let us forget an iconic time, where their new found freedom however, makes them very present day.

suspended campsite for climbers by dr. margot krasojevic. massif de l’esterel, south of france.

okay, i kept looking at these pictures because it can’t be real….it has to be a mock-up right?  nope. it’s real. crazy.

dr. margot krasojevic is known for using digital parameters to explore the psychological effects of architecture – materials & spatiality – on its inhabitants. the hanging hotel/suspended campsite was completed in october 2011 for holden manz wine estate cape town in massif de l’esterel (gorges du vedron) south of france. the project is an investigation in the choreography of perceptions of the environment around us. in this project, catering to rock climbers, dr. krasojevic uses compound glass & a prism louver system to alter how the climbers see their environment & stimulates different psychological experiences based on these subtle shifts in vision.

the hanging hotel is a composition of platforms & pods that are affixed to the existing granite through borehole foundations injected into the rock face that clamp the structure to the facade. these platforms can be used as additional obstacles for the climbers, but are intended to be used as rest areas for a pause along the route. the primary structure of the platforms & their interior pods are composed of steel horizontal piles, columns & steel frame sections. the secondary structure is the wooden walkway that supports the structure & creates a smooth geometry across the surface. third is laminated plywood paneling & a carbon fibre reinforced polymer shell that partitions the pods. the structure is finished with elastic plaster & paint.

the most important ingredient to this mix of materials is the holographic filtered compound glass & prism louver system. the glass first serves the practical purpose of protecting the climbers from harmful UVB rays from the sun. the holographic filter reduces the glare & types of wavelengths that enter the pods. for exhausted climbers this is an important aspect that also provides a safe environment in which to relax before continuing their climb.

because these filters are removable, it allows the experience of the pods to be choreographed based on the desired affect. the louvers to which the filters are affixed wrap around the pods & create a shading system. they also dim the sunlight & with certain tweaks of the filters they can produce mirages & illusions out of the true environment, altering colors & relationships of the views. the design also takes advantage of the altitude, which can be disorienting in itself, as well as the exhaustion associated with rock climbing.

the pods allow occupants to disassociate from the reality of the present moment by altering the visual components. it works in two ways: it provides mental relaxation & preparation for the rest of the climb & creates a meditative environment to aid recovery.

Mexico City-based artist Saner’s exhibition at FIFTY24SF  opened on March 16^th, 2012. Entitled “Corazón Sagrante” (Bleeding Heart), the show is Saner’s first in San Francisco and features new paintings and drawings on paper that depict his signature mystical animal beings with Mexican masks and skulls.

Saner was last seen in the L.A. area showing at Mid-City Arts in July of 2011. It was a great event that drew a large crowd, all clamoring to get one of many free pieces of art that the artist was graciously giving away on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Personally, I love the energetic drawing style of Saner’s work mixed with his use of symbolism and Mexican folklore. This exhibition at FIFTY24SF is one that I cannot wait to see in person.

“The Keith Haring Foundation has scanned Keith’s journals from 1971 to 1989, some of which are featured in Keith Haring: 1978–1982. A page will be posted each day for the duration of the show, which will be on view at the Brooklyn Museum from March 16 through July 8, 2012. The exhibition is the first large-scale presentation to explore the early works of one of the best-known American artists of the twentieth century.”

Keith Haring: 1978-1982 is the first large-scale exhibition of Haring’s early work, and I have to give kudos to the Brooklyn Museum for joining the growing ranks of museums that effectively use social media to promote and enrich their exhibitions (SFMOMA is another standout example). Of course it’s fun to point out the doodles and nascent markers of Haring’s iconography, but I find the grocery lists, hurried budgets and hopeful stabs at poetry to be the most poignant. There are many, many more pages to come, so take a moment to add Keith Haring to your Tumblr feed (and starting padding the Moleskine that’s been gathering dust underneath the bed, ’cause…you never know).

I was already pretty excited about the screening of Christian Marclay’s The Clock this weekend, and then I found out there would be donuts. The Clock transcends most video art merely by being watchable, and beyond that engaging and thought-provoking; a herculean monument of beauty and craftsmanship, that somehow maintains a sense of humor, a love letter to cinema and an eloquent statement about time and our perception of it….Ehm. Sorry about that.

LACMA will be showing the piece in its entirety from noon tomorrow (Saturday, March 24th) through noon Sunday, March 25th. Celebrating their new presence in physical space, nexus of art love ForYourArt will host a 24 hour donut pop-updown the street. Donut schedule available here. The screening is free and paying for museum admission is not required, the rest of the museum is open until 8pm.
