Felix Gonzalez-Torres
One of my favorite artists.
He has a great piece at
the DAllas Museum where
he uses candy as one of his
materials. You can take a piece of candy home with you, a whole handful if you want. Dude's Rad!

KAWS
These are some paintings on display in LA by KAWS. His story reads like a legend. He first start as a graffiti writer. Most famously for hitting up Captain Morgan and Snoopy billboards. Then painting over advertisements at bus stops. And then making toys and designing clothes for Bape. He has his own clothing label and store Original Fake. And recently he designed a billboard for Kanye West's latest album,which was displayed in Time's square. And now he is in the limelight as he opens a new show in LA. This kid has raised the bar unbelievably high. And next?

KID CUDI
These days with my ever decreasing attention span for internet videos, my measure of something being good is based on if I can watch the whole entire thing (of 3 minutes!). With that being said, I think I like this one. It was half-animated by SO ME, the famed artist associated with Justice.

Helios "Unomia"
Album: "Unomia" by Helios
Context: The train ride home
Location: Tokyo, Japan
Melody echoes, overlaps, transcends. The frigid winter night’s breeze calms the atmosphere yet gives the moment its vividness. The train doors hiss with a release of pressure as they come to a close. The engines start with an electronic portomento. The air conditioning replaces the outside breeze as a fragmented rhythm emerges from the aural mist. The train travels from station to station throughout the black abyss that passes beyond the windows, the city lights creating endless constellations as the train careens its course. Melody of an organic synthesis countered by rhythms of a broken society and the sounds of a hidden life all fade in and out of the airy and constant drone the train creates as it journeys, mingling with the sounds of railroad crossing signals as they pass in crescendo and diminuendo, the singing breaks as we near a station, the conversations of the passengers aboard, the clicks and clacks of the tracks beneath.
