Where's my home? No idea but this world feels like a cool place to call home.
Unfocused postings on whatever catches my attention, makes me think or demands that I point and shoot.
It's been a long time for the Chemical Brothers but no matter what you think of their music, you can't deny the art of their videos.
It's rare to be surprised in hotels but last night I stayed in the
Westin, just off Place Vendome and found this great art exhibit in the
lobby. It's called the Clean Art Project and all the pixels are made
up of objects found in the oceans across the world.
Genius driven or boredom driven - Sheep and shepherding skills are put to creative use.
I'm liking adidas' active engagement in urban art with an iphone app currently available in Berlin and Hamburg.
Here's their site, which acts as the meeting place for all references and shows the spread beyond its initial cities http://bit.ly/2QY7SA
As an artist, what do you do in a world dominated by photography?
Eberhard Havekost is one of a number of artists currently interested in capturing the photograph in art.His latest exhibition at the White Cube in London has some interesting discoveries. All represent a departure from his typical style. I have to say I'm not a fan of his tree studies that dominate the exhibition but I love the work like the shot above that get close to photos and start to create abstraction from pixels.

I got a private private viewing of Noma's new exhibition at the very cool KK Outlet in London today and met with Noma.
The space is great for his work although a bitch to photograph with the lighting but that may have been on purpose. I wrote recently about this impending exhibition, so was very excited to be in London the day before its official opening. The exhibition is on the back of publishing his second book Negative Space, which is well worth buying. It even has his workings in the back to show how he gets to his simple telegraphic images. I hope the private party went well this evening. The work deserves it.
I was talking to my friend Ahra this week and she was telling me about her current initiative with Skateistan to get artists to paint boards and then these will be auctioned off in May/June time in NY. The money will go to Skateistan's efforts in bringing skateboarding and education to kids in Kabul.
I put her in touch with my friend Natas Kaupas, creative director at Quicksilver and he's in. I found his response to me interesting:
"Sounds good.I love the momentum behind these projects and also how the board acts both as a canvas and a tool to enjoyment, activity, motion, creativity, fitness and expression. Not bad for something created by some California punks in the 50's.
With a forthcoming exhibition in London at KK Outlet, Noma Bar is getting the chatter he deserves.
The powerful use of negative space is incredible.
