Ray Pettibon

One of the champions of Art Making. I love his gradual evolution. His work is far from tidy. His use of language is evasive, in that you don't get it right away. When you read into it, then it becomes funny or fucked up. Ray Pettibon on Supertouch

Vito Acconci, Open Book

For the length of this video Vito Acconci repeats such phrases as, "I'll accept you, I won't shut down, I won't shut you out.... I'm open to you, I'm open to everything.... This is not a trap, we can go inside, yes, come inside...." All the while he abstains, almost entirely, from closing his mouth and lips. After watching the video for a while you can start to understand some of the things he is saying, and his words become strangely genuine because of his committed actions.

In His Own Words

Scouring the mess of You Tube for great wastes of time. Here is an autobiographical sketch of Marcel Duchamp. "Play games, play with Life and you are just as alive or more alive than people who believe in religion or art."

Emak Bakia by Man Ray

"Leave me alone (in Basque)
Emak-Bakia shows elements of fluid mechanical motion in parts, rotating artifacts showing his ideas of everyday objects being extended and rendered useless.
Originally a silent film, recent copies have been dubbed using music taken from Man Ray's personal record collection of the time. The musical reconstruction was by Jacques Guillot.

Emak bakia can also mean "the female [gives] the peace" in Basque. "

THE FALL

had to post this too. too amazing

Totally Wired

Better than Elvis, Mark E. Smith, singer of the Fall, has made a lot of albums. His words remind me of Jean Michel Basquiat paintings in a long drawl. He executes words into fine audible sculptures, like "Love All Greed". The phrases drip out out of his mouth like black grease, or laughs while being kicked in the stomach by police. Recent greats like James Murphy and Stephen Malkmus have taken more than just a page from this misanthropic hysteric.

News Sites

Here are my favorite daily news sites.

1) Hypebeast
It covers mostly sneakers and clothes. Here you can see the latest in fashion design from all around the world. For example Bape, Nike, Adidas, Vans, BBC, Supra, Undercover, APC, Staple, and so on. They also tend to report on some contemporary artists like KR, Damien Hirst, Takashi Murakami Although I probably don't buy any of these goods, the pictures and the content are really interesting. The site is very simple, diverse, and exciting.

2) NY Times
The newspaper has been a favorite of mine since University. The writing tends to be a bit more quality and intelligent than the run of the mill local paper. I enjoy their special features, short videos, and their attempts at interactive graphs.

3) The Economist
A fantastic and well written magazine. The vocabulary is the best all around. Their insights include various opinions, which leave the reader to form their own. Their comment section is very easy to use and not hidden like on other sites. I also like their illustrations.

4) Arkitip
Great art magazine and website. Their intelligence section, as far I know, was one of the first to do an apartment style blog, which has various artists and designers. For example, Kevin Lyons, Damon Way, Jeff Staple, Pedro Winter, Undefeated, Evan Hecox, Ari Macropolis, and others. I also like that you can select a see all button which allows you to view all the writers posts in order of time posted. These guys are definitely on the ball as far as elevating the way we get information.

5) Venture Beat
A blog written by Dean Takahashi from the San Jose Mercury News, out of Silicon Valley. The news here is original, and quirky. There are great interviews with all kinds of fascinating people like venture capitalists, game developers, and engineers.

There are many others, but these are the ones I check the most. Do you have any recommendations?

In Passing

For Here or to Go

I just finished reading this. Its a collection of stories written by people who had worked at one time or another in the service industry. The work here is very casual, like you're talking to your friends. It reminded me a lot of Al Burian.

Some examples of the contents:
-the diary of a dishwasher
-a waitress who works at bar during St. Patricks day
-a waitress working at a root beer stand 50 years ago
-a transvestite who tries to get a waitress job at an expensive restaurant
-a black woman working at a restaurant during the Jim Crow Laws period of the south
-a pizza delivery driver
-a pole dancer earning money for college
-an edited employee manual

Ive posted his work before. And he's on the links. But I'll mention him again because I think he's one of the best out there. I like his new photos from Belgrade. I really like no 1, the old lady cutting the piece of meat. I've never seen that before. In no. 4 there is a photo of a bus driver. You see him in the mirror and what's in front of him at the same time. In no.8 I really like the colors with the text and the boys face on the right playing ball. No. 13 with the knives in the corner and sick boy written on the right. I like how you have to read into this one. And no19, the bodies lying around, the play of depth of field. All of these, Quite simply they are sublime. Check it
