“i don’t like to look at him, jack. it makes me think of that awful day on the island.”
for those who haven’t seen it yet, the above sentence is the enigmatic title of this walton ford show at paul kasmin (until x-mas). it’s about king kong’s feelings and it’s grand. those watercolors are the size of a street advertisement, gigantic! and yes you read well, this is watercolor, and yes it’s on paper. by pp.

just bought this beauty from a friend, and was very psyched about it. I saw a picture and fell in love with the custom setup and the unexpected colors. only problem was when it arrived, retarded me, noticed that there were no breaks on the bike. turns out this a “fixed gear bike” which means there are no breaks, no coasting and no slack. in order to dodge a taxi the rider must simply 1- lean forward, 2-lift the bikes tail up, 3-reverse the pedal/gear and lock it with his knee 4-then simply drop the tail down, 4- and skid to a stop. riiiiight! since then i added a puny front break to the disgust and disappointment of my pal but not sure if that will do the trick. if you ever see an idiot doing 50 down broadway screaming, you’ll know who that is. thanx ilya. by dd
the maurizio cattelan show at the guggenheim is a must see. its fantastical, whimsical and imaginative to say the least; not to mention its unconventional display that can only have been done at the guggenheim. this was despite all the nay-sayers who criticize the museum for its less than ideal space for art work. case and point. lucky for us kl used her VIP access and got us in without the wait, and for free. you can’t go wrong there. by dd
was flipping through videos today and came across this little funkstress’s tightrope video. first off its refreshing to see a “no tits-and-ass” in a R&B/funk/soul/hip hop music video. the retro references of motown, james brown, and street music of the 60’s are just lovely and well done, not to mention that our girl happens to float like a butterfly. the beat and her moves remind me of andre benjamin (andre 3000), one of the coolest brothers in the business. i was sure his hand was involved in this but sad to find out that it was p.diddy who signed her. at least they got big boi on there. well done beautiful girl. by m+m
