Great series from TATE Channel. Sad to see it end.

In the last installment of our Sound & Vision series, English Post-Punk singer Mark E Smith gave us a brief tour of his rise to fame with The Fall and the early influence of angry British Surrealism on his music.

nschonberger — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 17:14:16 +0000

Consider this a preview of sorts, as Oliver Cartwright and Melanie Benoit have begun a larger series of collaborative work. “The State We’re In” finds Los Angeles-based Benoit providing the dissolving deer drawing and Mr. Cartwright adding the couple. They work digitally, trading images from across continent and Atlantic. It works in music, and it works here as well.

Super guy and very talented illustrator Bradford Haubrich will be opening his first solo showing next week (March 19, 2010), at Philadelphia’s TrickGo (1135 Pine St). Expect dense, quirky drawings with a solid sense of humor and a light hearted take on life. Brad has also produced a limited edition t-shirt for the event – especially nice for those with a hankering for a new walking canvas.

Roy McMakin: When a Chair is Not a Chair

nschonberger — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:59:37 +0000

Coming in April from Rizzoli, Roy McMakin: When a Chair is Not a Chair details the multi-faceted career of Roy McMakin. At once an architect and a furniture designer, this monograph proves McMakin above all an artist. The photographs alone reveal an unparalleled talent in turning the mundane into items of absolute glory. Chests of drawers, these being my personal favorites, are close to perfected in McMakin’s hands.

Smartly composed essays balance the photographic spreads. These range from personal reflections (in the case of Lisa Eisner’s “Love Letter to Roy McMakin”) to analytic work that contextualizes McMakin’s place in design and his work in architecture. Eisner, a photographer and founder of Greybull Press, is joined as an essayist by Seatle Art Museum Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art Michael Darling and Conceptual Artist John Baldessari, and writer Michael Ned Holte. The quartet’s variety of scope and thought succeeds in articulating McMakin’s own breadth quite well, and each essay is as engrossing as the designs that surround them.

Highly recommended reading.

Chris Bourke Lino Prints

nschonberger — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:40:54 +0000

Chris Bourke owns a skate shop (Spine) in Worcester, England. He trained as a tattooist and the themes and style of that ageless art play into his current artistic passion.

Since 2005, Bourke has worked primarily in Lino Print. This work has a dark edge, but a good sense of humor. Notes of faith, love, and sticking it to the man prevail. For this Bourke has been recognized in several international galleries and published in Art by Tattooists: Beyond Flash (2009).

Further examples of the Lino Prints follow.
