a visual collective outlet of inspiration
in his artist’s statement from 2013, mark a. reynolds quotes plato when stating, “in the world of shapes and figures something perfect and sublime, to which imagined form those objects not accessible to sensory perception can be related by way of imitation”. i think he sublimely demonstrates that here. above are works from his minor third series, spiritual jukebox series, and the 1.111 series: ode to john cage. by sv

Cindy sherman – bus series
the first and maybe the most pure example of cindy sherman’s work is the bus series. circa 1976 when the artist was 22 and not discovered yet, it was presented for the first time in new york in 2000. the next body of work from sherman was the still film studies that made her fame. by pp.

TOILET PAPER + LIBERATION
today, the great french newspaper liberation is being taken over by artist maurizio cattelan’s art publication toilet paper. the mix can only be great and the imagery more relevant than ever. brilliant (love the cover “on french cultural isolation“) more here. by pp.

sarah moon always explains her photographic style by saying she’s near sighted, so focusing is impossible. by pp.
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.
