Boom, our latest publication has finally landed! A work of art that explores the relationship between nature, motion and sound, The Interpretation takes us on a languid journey through a slowly flourishing forest. Hinting at vague memories of microbiology and rotating through a cool organic spectrum of greens, blues, browns, blacks and whites; this motion-based work will entrance its viewer as the forest evolves. The Interpretation is set to a minimal score filled with authentic sounds of nature, complimenting the environmental essence of the visuals. One of the movies on this DVD also features a soundtrack composed by various Ghostly Records musicians.
Eric Carlson (formerly YWFT) and H/H crew were interviewed by the Walker for an upcoming gallery project here.

“Seeking political asylum, Ahmed Alsoudani left Iraq for the United States in 1999. His paintings and drawings reflect the troubled contemporary history of his home country, yet they belong to a tradition of painting depicting war and atrocity.”
I have always enjoyed seeing Gunta Stolzl’s work, but never have seen more than ten or so of her works. Gunta’s work often seems to be overshadowed by the male Bauhaus team of geniuses. It is hard to see why her work was not represented better after looking at this site. Amazing stuff.
Often we like the things we could/would find ourselves doing. For example, these stacked totems of colors and shapes by Pica Pica.
If you’ve ever seen Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, or been to Disneyland then you’re already familiar with the work of Mary Blair. One of my favorite illustrators and a personal favorite of Mr. Disney check out a treasure trove of her illustrations here.
Last night I was reading about 1950′s animation in Cartoon Modern and it mentioned some of the amazing modern animators coming out of Europe that were vastly different than the standard 19th century “Disney” style that was so prevalent in the US. One such animator was Ivan Ivanov-Vano whom collaborated with the likes of Shostakovich and Stravinsky. Take a moment today to watch Seasons by Ivan Ivanov-Vano , while it wasn’t produced in the 50′s and it isn’t the exact video I was looking for with the Shostakovich score, it’s still absolutely gorgeous. Enjoy!
While searching google images for “mousse“, I found the artwork of Michael Bauer which feels somewhat akin to the paintings Mike has been cranking out recently. Now I feel foolish that haven’t come across Bauer’s work before now.
Hard to believe the world is in global economic turmoil when you have people like Merijin Hos aka Bfree around. All kinds of lovely work over at his website such as drawings, installations, childrens books and even a video spot for YO GABBA GABBA. Dreamy!
The Narrows is a contemporary art space hosting local, national and international artists located in Melbourne. They have a poster available on their site for download for every exhibition. Some lovely work you should go and check out.
Just got back from the Andrew Holder show at Subtext. Amazing show, something different in Andrew’s work than your average 60′s folk art revivalist, something happy and wonderful. If you live in the San Diego/Los Angeles area you definitely need to come out and see for yourself. I just wish I was rich so I could have bought everything at the show. Definitely a new favorite of mine.
