Those Torok paintings are tiny, less than 3 inches tall. On my screen, they appear bigger than life size.

Looking through a back issue of Artforum, I noticed some interesting abex stuff by a person called Suling Wang. On google, I find that there is a Suling Wang who is an abstract painter, and there is a Suling Wang who is an illustrator, primarily of children's books. I suspect these are different people, but am not entirely sure.

carl fudge:

via art in america:
He begins with a reproducton of an erotic Ukiyo-e print, cuts it up into fragments too small to convey narrative information, recasts those fragments in axially symmetric "inkblots," and silkscreens the resulting grid-based pattern onto the picture plane.

Ryan Trecartin. I saw his show at QED in Culver City. The installation seemed so-so, but the video 'A Family Finds Entertainment' is really funny, and I don't normally have much of a weakness for John Watersy stuff.

Also, this was somewhere in LA's Chinatown last Semptember. I don't know the name of the piece, the artist, or the gallery (which has since closed). I don't remember if I saw it in person because I was so drunk.

Yeah, I have to say I'm a big fan of Peter Day Jackson. (Articles, works, & bio behind link, or click here: http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/artists/matthew_day_jackson.htm).

Jonathan Meese, I find simply irritating.

i was extremely excited and then deeply saddened when, as i was scrolling down, i saw ten pieces of art all in a row that i truly love and was ecstatic to see that someone else loved all of them as well... only to realize i had posted them.

Oh actually photobucket reduced them, so they're a little smaller than life-size. No excuses!

good work, dude.

this thread makes me want to leave work and go paint.

i think we should move this thread to the noise board so i can delete richard prince bullshit.

cousin larry bundgee (bundgee), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 21:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, I don't like being forced to give an "OK" to Richard Prince whenever I open the thread.

On the middle right of this image, you can see what most impressed me about this installation: the talking pie.

This and the other threads have gotten so long and unwieldy that Jeff and I have decided to just do a blog.

It'll be the same kind of thing, more or less daily, so if anyone reads this thread, please join us at the official roni horn memorial blog:

can highly recommend the Vilhelm Hammershøi exhibition at the RA (London) - turn of the century interiors, either empty or with a single figure facing away from the viewer. Very subtle, almost minimalist, a sense of privacy, a slght feeling of the sinister.
