wanna be an artist?
1 in 5 teenagers will experiment with art
51% of kids wanna grow up and become a rock star, the other 49% go to art school and wanna be in the “creative field”. it’s the easiest cop-out in history, cause it’s “cool” and seems fun and easy enough. the bonus is you can brag to your friends about what you do, and you can finally justify that stupid outfit you’ve been wearing. with all of that who would want to become a scientist? that sounds hard, if not outright boring! until the time comes when you actually have to “be” a real artist, and 98% of that 49% go crying back to their mommies and beg for their boo boo bunnies. the other 1% drift in-and-out of art rehab and the last 1% actually become what they wanted to be. so listen up kids, being an artist sucks. it’s damn hard, it takes commitment, passion and 110% of what you probably don’t have. if perchance you do have all of that, very few ever make any money at it. so basically, go back and study to become a banker, or a business man. your mom and dad will surely be pleased. by ht

XAVIER VEILHAN – Architectones in L.A.
the latest body of work of french artist xavier veilhan revolves around LA architecture from the mid century. the case study house n°21 by pierre koenig was one of them. veilhan wanted to emphasize the purity of the architectural shapes by filling the space with smoke, and replacing the water in the ponds with a dark black liquid. the result is ghost like, simple yet impressive. by pp.

domplatz
this is my favorite period of richter, the blurred photo paintings and portraits, but this is not one of my favorites in the batch and thank god. this one sold on tuesday for 37 million, that’s ten times the price it sold for just 15 years ago at 3.5. don bryant, founder of napa valley’s bryant family vineyard is the new happy owner. i’m sure he really gets ‘art’ just like his wines. pay him a visit. by dd

PAUL MCCARTHY SCULPTURES
the current exhibition at hauser & wirth on 18th is a must see! you can’t imagine the beauty that these daunting oversized dreamy nightmares hold until you are dwarfed by them. “mccarthy unleashes debauchery and desire with extreme technical daring, charting a territory where our fundamental impulses collide with our most cherished myths and hypocritical societal norms.” seen here in his interpretation of his schneewittchen (snow white) theme. you can read more here, but to see in the flesh, go to 511 west 18th street, until june 1st. by kl
