o.k. this is genius: “hitler in his bunker hopes that he will get the job as director of the MOCA, but is told by his senior staff that the job has gone instead to the new york dealer jeffrey deitch, known for his business dealings and embrace of spectacle. upset, hitler lashes out at MOCA’s board of trustees, deitch, some of deitch’s artists (or those he admires) and the man who saved MOCA philanthropist eli broad.” by cdc

i am always amazed and envious when someone can create such beautiful and transporting sounds with just their body (voice and instrument, sans electricity). leaving detroit and her family at the age of 16, holly miranda has been in new york for the past ten or so years and is finally deemed an ‘overnight success’. early into her move she was signed with BMG and recorded but vaulted the results and dropped the mega-label to be true to herself. good perspective, and amazing voice. please check out! by kl

this video reminds me of ‘light machine’ pieces by one of our favorite artists, xavier veilhan. i came across these pieces by accident while wandering london in 2003. the grid of light bulbs dance, and you can feel their heat as if they are alive. you can view a clip here. by kl
so after ryan mcginley’s film for pringle of scotland (see below, which is my fav. by far), here is the prada movie. it’s much more of a moving fashion shoot with idiotic looking male models, but it’s nice still. then there is the YSL movie by bruce weber, very bruce weber-ish, what else can i say? so who’s next? what’s the thing with fashion houses making movies this season? by pp
ryan mcginley films for pringle of scotland. is his style changing as production budgets change, or just time and evolution? either way i think it looks gorgeous; but i must admit, i am easily seduced by the colors. other credits include creative director neville wakefield, sound design by eric nagy, music by dogee mountain (interlude). the texture of the music is imperative to the full experience of these landscapes, even the clothes for that matter. but the recitations…meh. by kl
