White Noise
These photos by Matthias Heiderich are nice and stark. There are a ton on his Behance site and we’ve got a selection of more after the jump.

Anastassia Elias made art in the least likely of places, inside of toilet paper rolls. Using paper that is similar to the roll itself, she gives the illusion that the scenes taking place inside of the rolls are actually part of the roll themselves. The detail and depth of each little piece is really nice. She claims it only takes her an hour to complete one, which is also impressive. See more after the jump.
Los Angeles, I’m Yours
Friends of the internet unite! The ultra rad folks from Poketo and the equally awesome Bobby Solomon of Kitsune Noir teamed up last month to create a living art market at Space15Twenty Gallery in LA. Check out these pics featuring an incredible list of contributing artist!
Also, here’s a neat video walkthrough from Bobby.
Stop The Violence
Francois Robert purchased a human skeleton at an auction. He then decided to arrange said skeleton in shapes that might conjure up some emotions. Negative emotions that is. Negative emotions toward violence. He did a hell of a job at achieving his goal. More shots after the jump.
The Artist Is Present
Very interesting MoMA exhibition of performance artist “Marina Abramovi?: The Artist is Present”. Abramovi? is seated at a table in silence, where visitors of the museum can sit across from her and stare for a length of their choosing. The exhibition site shows a video stream of the event daily, and portraits of each visitor can be seen here.
This seems like an incredibly fascinating and intense experience. Speaking of intense, here’s a tumblr titled Marina Abramovic Made Me Cry, where you can see some of the people who, according to the site, “couldn’t handle the heat.” Will Bryant would probably be on this site if he went to the exhibit.
The show is going March 14—May 31, 2010.
Anthony Zinonos x Brandi Strickland
Our good friend from across the sea, Anthony Zinonos, and his fellow WAFA Collective member Brandi Strickland recently collaborated on this rad piece! You should definitely check out more of their work and whatever the WAFA Collective is up to.
Desire at the Blanton.
This week is your last chance to view the critically acclaimed exhibit Desire at the Blanton Museum here in Austin. It’s well worth your time: the Annette DiMeo Carlozzi curated show is incredible. Carlozzi has selected works in a variety of media which explore the ways in which we feel, express and cope with desire. Among the highlights, and there are many, are Amy Globus’ film, ‘Electric Sheep,’ in which an octopus makes its way between two clear boxes via a tiny connecting tube; Laurel Nakadate’s series of self-portraits, for which she posted an add asking male volunteers to view and handle with ink on their fingertips, thus leaving their own identities on her own; and the amazing work of Susie J. Lee, a projection on a carved piece of wood, which explores the ephemeral nature of connection.
Visit the Blanton here.
Andrew Jeffrey Wright
I really enjoy the work of Andrew Jeffrey Wright. This piece makes me laugh! I found it on THIS Gallery’s flickr.
Drill Here, Drill Now
Sinta Werner’s collaboration with Markus Wueste is a rather interesting project. Imagine drilling through the walls of most urban settings. What would those cores look like? They’ve collaborated on what that product might be.
