Inspired by “The Kiss”

Inspired by Helloooo there, Monday. Nice to see you again.

Jack posted this a few weeks ago and while surfing around this weekend I found some more info on what it’s all about. Entitled “The Kiss” it is part of Tino Sehgal’s show, currently going on at the Guggenheim. Here’s a snippet from the NY Times review:

The sensuous pas de deux, titled “Kiss,” is in progress. As choreography it will hold no surprises for anyone familiar with contemporary dance. Taken as living sculpture, it has amusing moments: every so often, the performers strike erotic poses derived from Courbet, Rodin, Brancusi and Jeff Koons.

Inspired by the piece, Flavorwire took real couples to the numerous other museums of New York and photographed them in the heat of passion. Neat series; Jack and I plan on seeing the exhibit before it closes.

Clare Caulfield

Clare Caulfield, New YorkThese paintings, by Clare Caulfield, are so eye-catching and full of life!

She is fascinated by architecture be it the Midtown skyscrapers of Manhattan, The Grand Canal Venice or simply capturing Parisian life outside a brightly canopied pavement café, from which she strives to create spontaneous lively linework.

I found Anatoly Zenkov while checking out a different sub-series of his, posted on Gizmodo. But, I’m always drawn to creative typography more than almost anything else!

The Faith of Graffiti

The Faith of Graffiti
Met up with Diana and Ben to hear a very cool talk for the re-release of The Faith of Graffiti, put on by powerHouse Books. Not only was the creator of the book, Jon Naar, there, but many of the “writers” featured in the original 1974 release were too. It was amazing to hear the different perspectives on the motives of graffiti, whether it was political, artistic or was done just out of boredom. It was a great primer on the origins of tagging in New York. I especially thought it was cool that I went to this right after I saw that Banksy trailer!
