First Major US Museum Retrospective of Paul Thek at the Whitney, October 21, 2010–January 9, 2011
text: Whitney Museum press release
NEW YORK, August 6, 2010. An artist who defies classification, Paul Thek (1933–1988), the sculptor, painter, and creator of radical installations who was hailed for his work in the 1960s and early 70s, then nearly eclipsed within his own short lifetime, is the subject of an upcoming retrospective co-organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art and Carnegie Museum of Art. Paul Thek: Diver, A Retrospective, the first major exhibition in the United States to explore the work of the legendary American artist, debuts in the Whitney’s fourth-floor Emily Fisher Landau Galleries, from October 21, 2010 to January 9, 2011; it travels to Carnegie Museum of Art, from February 5 to May 1, 2011, and then to the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, from May 22 to September 4, 2011.
BP Rebranded: New Logos Announced in Greenpeace UK Competition
categories: BP logos
from Greenpeace UK:
We have a winning logo!
Now tell BP where to stick it!Three months ago we asked you to create a more appropriate logo for BP than a shiny green sunflower.
Now you've chosen one. It's a logo that reflects the tragic consequences of the company's reckless determination to extract oil at any cost.
The time has come to spread BP's new logo far and wide. Put it up as your Facebook profile picture, or stick it somewhere in the real world.
We've created a few handy sticker-sized logos you can print off, but really it's down to you to decide where to put them. Get creative. Send us your pictures and we'll share them on.
The winner:

Nicolas Schöffer audio files online

Nicolas Schöffer
This audio art is sourced from the DVD of an exhibition of Nicolas Schöffer at Espace Gantner, France, 2004, titled “Précurseur de l’art cybernétique”, as well as various internet videos. The Lumino and Microtemps, 1968 and 1961 respectively, were not intended as sound sculptures, yet the noises they produce are definitely part of their appeal, not unlike Jean Tinguely’s own machines. Prisme, 1965, was an installation using mirrors, lighting effects and sound to virtually expand the structure’s actual size. It was re-build in 1975 in the Paris’ Sorbonne university with incidental music by Pierre Barbaud. The last track is from a British Pathé newsreel documenting Schöffer’s 1960 Institute of Contemporary Arts exhibition. It focuses on one of Schöffer’s most famous sculpture, CYSP 1 (for CYbernetics SPationdynamic). The electronic music used in the film is not credited.

Andy Warhol: The Last Decade at The BROOKLYN MUSEUM
categories: Andy Warhol | Brooklyn Museum | drawing | Francisco Clemente | James Kalm | Jean-Michel Basquiat | Painting | Pop art | sculpture | silkscreen
James Kalm was given full access to record this walk through of Andy Warhol: The Last Decade, and wishes to thank the Brooklyn Museum of Art for the privilege. It's been nearly a quarter century since Andy's death, but his visage within the art world has never been more prominent. As one of the most influential artists of the Twentieth Century, he's been credited with everything from the founding of Pop Art to social networking to developing self promotion to the highest of art forms. This massive show is loaded with documentary artifacts and presents many never before seen works from Warhol's late "abstract" series and his collaborative works with Jean-Michel Basquiat and Francisco Clemente. The exhibition was organized by the Milwaukee Art Museum.

Are BP and the Government Trying to Hide Millions of Dead Fish and Wildlife?
Scientists found this sperm whale 77 miles south of the Deepwater Horizon spill site off the Gulf Coast.
August 4, 2010. As BP and the US Government insist that the oil spill is now under control, perhaps what has really been "controlled" is public access to millions upon millions of corpses of innocent animals - birds, fish, whales - as part of an insidious cover up.
Excerpted from Karl Burkart's blog in Mother Nature Network:
Firsthand accounts and leaked photos of a secret BP processing facility - possibly for dead animals - point to a massive cover up in the Gulf. An exclusive report.

Interview With The Hole's Kathy Grayson
August 3, 2010. An interview with The Hole's Kathy Grayson, conducted by your friend and mine Yasha Wallin, just appeared in Hint Magazine. Not Quite Open for Business, the inaugural exhibition at The Hole, at 104 Greene Street in the heart of the SoHo tenderloin, is up through August 21.
Here are interview excerpts and photos.
When Jeffrey Deitch announced in January that he was closing his legendary Deitch Projects to head up L.A.'s MOCA, a collective shudder rippled through downtown New York. But his staff members were too busy planning their next move to mourn the departure of their overachieving mentor for long. Just one month after the final New York show, Deitch's former directors Kathy Grayson and Meghan Coleman have emerged with their own gallery, The Hole.
