Studio Visit →

Welcome to Studio Visit, P.S.1’s new web initiative that offers virtual presentations of artists’ studios.

Very cool idea, and I’m liking the clean, simple implementation.

“It seems like each medium has a different degree of refinement, and the trick is to honor that. Fiction is the most refined; it’s like working with a watchmaker’s tiny tools. Then I switch over to a script, and it feels like I have big clumsy gloves on, but clumsy gloves are good for symbolic movement. And then art—that’s like no hands at all—is just letting mystery stay inarticulate. Which is its own kind of precision when it works.”

Zuni Halpern & Erik Steinbrecher
Ital Thai Chinese and Paint

Ital Thai Chinese and Paint is a compilation of the first collaborative work by Zuni Halpern and Erik Steinbrecher. The booklet shows montages of photographs and paintings. All the photographed advertisings are collected in the streets. The paintings on paper are studio works. Both materials, views of fusion food and plates of abstract designs are melted. These “painted meals” can be considered as ornaments in the urban context of fast gastronomy and catering.

Yum!

Woah, small world. Following on from my last post, it looks like Boon also just redesigned my friend Shaun O’Dell’s art site. It’s a nice clean design, and I highly recommend checking out Shaun’s art. Good stuff.

Blank Meets Pettibon “We’re An American Band”

Music by Augst/Carl/Korn
Words by Pettibon
Recorded live October 31, 2001 at the philharmonie, Cologne
Coverart by Raymond Pettibon

This has “art music” written all over it, but I have to say I found it surprisingly moving. “The power trio makes louder,” indeed. John Cale eat your heart out.
