That moment when The Clash met Warhol.
Time machine me to this point and time so I can just stare in awe.
Chris Jones creates sculptures composed of fragmented images from magazines and used books that are beautiful, frightening, and exquisitely detailed: a macabre headless horse, a 19th century stagecoach, a disheveled TV.
For his recent solo show at Marc Straus, Jones worked in New York and was interested in the history of the Lower Eastside and this specific gallery space. Based on his impressions, he created a fantastical trading post replete with sundry items such as shovels, bear heads, and lamps echoing this area’s early 19th century and this building’s evolution from a tenement to a store for varied immigrant trades. It is also an homage to THE STORE that Claes Oldenburg opened nearby in 1961, selling his food-like handmade Paper Mache objects. (by Amir)

Shocking news today about Adam Yauch from the Beastie Boys dying so young from cancer. Licensed to ill was one of my favourite teen records and was lucky to see them play around 89 with the Rollins band in London. Weirdly enough I was going through some negatives today from a Budapest, Hungary trip in ‘05, and found this. RIP MCA.

When I originally became interested in Jeff Koons’ work I was intrigued by his attitude towards art and I found I could relate to a lot of his ideas. I decided that for my final intaglio assignment of copying a work of art, I would try to depict Warhol’s influence on Koons’ work. I decided to base my print off of Jeff Koons’ “Hand on Breast” from his “Made in Heaven” series, with “Rabbit” serving as a backdrop. I felt the image would equate the idea of influence to intimacy. I used two plates for the print. One holds “Rabbit” the other a contour line drawing. Both plates were etched with hard ground for the line work. The “Rabbit” plate was aquatinted and chin-colle was used to attach the yellow tissue paper to the second plate.
