Short and sweet video work. Via Jason.

From Rivington Arms:

In [Jeremy Everett's] most recent body of work, the artist has submerged pornographic magazines in a super-saturated mixture of water and laundry detergent. The resulting sculptures are a crystallized, frozen homage to temporal desire.

Untitled (Porn Mag #2), above, goes on view Thursday. Love the suds.

Another fave from the Arctic Hysteria show. The guy sure does love his hares.

Saw these guys over the weekend at PS1’s “Arctic Hysteria” show. It’s pretty jarring to go from WORK’s P.F.1. to lying on the floor underneath Eliasson’s giant mirror to the room full of the Pink Twins’ videos. But maybe that’s why I remembered it. The quicktime videos on the site should give you an idea.

That old net-art exhibition we posted about has a new batch of works (reload for the next piece). Harm van den Dorpel is the curator, one one of the artists. His new work includes Ethereal Self,  Exploding Explosion, and the collage above. The older works on his site are pretty awesome—well worth exploring, as are the dozens of works at Club Internet.

Then internet is a fickle bitch. One week you’re fiendin’, scrounging around for the pow-pow and coming up with gnar-gnar…the next week it’s like BAM! the internet dumps awesome all over your forehead.

David Byrne is still cool.

Playing the building is a sound installation in which the infrastructure, the physical plant of the building, is converted into a giant musical instrument. Devices are attached to the building structure — to the metal beams and pillars, the heating pipes, the water pipes — and are used to make these things produce sound. The activations are of three types: wind, vibration, striking. The devices do not produce sound themselves, but they cause the building elements to vibrate, resonate and oscillate so that the building itself becomes a very large musical instrument.
