Hasta La Motion!

How does this picture recipe sound? One cup of Jungle cat, a sprinkle of kama sutra, a dash of Hinduistic spirituality, a quick stir around and BOOM! You’ve got a Kelsey Brookes medley of art-cum-bestiality. These colorful paintings are like bits of skittles, laced with PCP, exploding out of a half-mortal/ half-feline, after an intense session of Bikram yoga. We can’t guess what the metaphorical meaning of this banshee art could imply, but the shit looks cool. Make the jump for more of Brookes’ mystical stuff.

Alexandros Vasmoulakis’s reason for being is to communicate (so he states on his website) and communicate he does, with elaborate doe-eyed behemoth beings gracing the buildings in Greece. The size and scope of these pieces are spectacular and speak in epic visual proportions. For examples of his grandiose lessons in conveying a perceptual message, click “read on” for more.

Time-traveling is no joke, neither is art. So, if you could meld the two together, it might turn out something like P.S.1 MoMA’s 1969. From across the East River, the contemporary art center is currently presenting a collection of never-before-seen works from the likes of Lutz Mommartz, Robert Barry, Mel Bochner and John Wesley. As well as, interventions by the new kids of this generation whose work reflects this particular period in history. For your nostalgic review, the large exhibition will break down the year of 1969 through the many dialects of art, up until April 5th of next year.

Yup, there’s a table and a chair in that cluster mix. Nope, this isn’t a picture someone decided to scribble over. This is actually a sampling of Chiharu Shiota’s weave-a-rific installation art. Like a giant arachnid left to it’s own devices, Shiota’s work is incredible in shape and form, consuming an open space and everything within it. Just don’t try to get that pen out of the drawer.
