For seven years now, Bushwick Open Studios has been one of the most reliable, beloved institutions of early summer, and this weekend's festivities—the biggest yet, with over 600 scheduled shows—promise to be some of the best in the festival's history.

Art This Issue's Cover Artist: Sara Cwynar
Posted by Crystal Gwyn on Wed, May 29, 2013 at 9:32 AM
Despite its criticism, nostalgia and kitsch has a place with Sara Cwynar. The Brooklyn-based artist, photographer and designer is a hoarder with a heart, with installations at Cooper Cole Gallery, Printed Matter, and self produced Simulated Landscapes and Kitsch Encyclopedia. Through 'accidental archives,' she collages digital and found photographs and assembles monochromatic collections of her own items, serving as miniature museums for the past-obsessed present. This archived photo of NY Summer filled with light leak, made us hopeful about the next few months.

- Part of Matt Freedman's sprawling installation at Studio 10. Here, the match isn't the only shared light for these three soldiers. A common lume overhead is shared as well, creating shadows of cigarettes angled such that two touching tips are inauspiciously, perhaps explosively, quite exquisitely striking.
Matt Freedman's deviled tricks and Matthew Barney's drawing feats factor into these highlighted shows for the coming weeks. From our 5/22 issue.

What is your work's relation to the issue theme?
Whenever I drink I have the craziest dreams. A lot of my work is based on subconscious decisions - I make the best stuff when I'm not thinking about it.
Where can we see your work this next year?
The FADER, Bloomberg Businessweek, in a lookbook for Levi's, possibly in a gallery in DUMBO, and possibly on your bedroom wall.

Art Nobody Got Laid at The Armory Show This Weekend
Posted by Corinna Kirsch on Tue, Mar 12, 2013 at 10:43 AM
We like to scour Craigslist during the art fairs. There’s something about a shopping mall for art that turns people on, and that fertile, sexy ground placed before us makes our job easy. We often find a bacchanalian chorus of missed connections, personal encounters, and all types of insipid passion. With this year’s 2013 Armory Show though, the postings were slim.
Sure, the trumpets of desire were tooted, but the songs were flat, deflated, and they were often sung by...your aunt and uncle. That’s right, most of the postings were made by middle-aged men and women in need of platonic dates to the fair. Nobody wanted to get laid! That’s not sexy, and we’re not used to that. Still, we managed to find some gems within these chaste offerings.

With last week’s art fairs, we’ve had enough of Manhattan to last us til April. Enough with those guys. This week is (almost) all Brooklyn.

Art Snapchat: Bad for Sexting, Good for Art
Posted by Corinna Kirsch on Fri, Mar 8, 2013 at 11:39 AM
Sexting requires skill. Quality photos take time and effort, so it’s surprising to hear Snapchat, an app that lets you take self-destructing snapshots, referred to as a “sexting app”. Other than erasing a potential trail of nudie pics, the app’s sexting abilities are overblown.
Art I Got a Ride With the Armory Week Performance Cabbie
Posted by Whitney Kimball on Fri, Mar 8, 2013 at 10:51 AM
Wednesday, a handicap taxi with a Richard Nixon hood ornament came to pick me up outside the Gershwin Theater parking lot. I’d come to claim my free ride to the Armory from artist Daniel J Wilson, where he’s displaying his sound piece— conversations he’s recorded from his passengers, collaged by his composer/musician sister Catherine Wilson.

Art 4Chan Founder's New App is Really Popular

- A very adult cowboy on DrawQuest
4Chan founder Christopher Poole (aka moot) has repeatedly referred to running his site, which receives roughly 20 million visitors per month, as a “hobby”. He’s not making money off a site for sharing images and generating memes, but rather than making 4Chan more family-friendly, he’s trying his hand at a handful of other start ups.
Those projects, Canvas and DrawQuest, revel in the same type of crowd sharing and remix culture of 4Chan, but with greater mass-appeal. DrawQuest, an iPad-only app and the newest addition to Poole’s projects was launched two weeks ago, and already it’s received over half-a-million downloads. That’s not bad for 4Chan-lite.

Art Photos: Ringing in the 90s at the New Museum
Posted by Mike Conklin on Fri, Mar 1, 2013 at 12:24 PM
Given the degree to which the culture as a whole remains committed to taking every possible opportunity to look back on days gone by, remembering them more fondly than appropriate because it's just easier that way, there's perhaps no better way to spend a Tuesday night than hanging out at the New Museum drinking 90s themed drinks while wearing 90s-ish clothes and listening to 90s music. Oh, and also taking in the new exhibition, "NYC 1993: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star." We have photos, thank goodness, courtesy of Alli Coates.
Art Yes, Bushwick, You're Getting a Net Art Gallery
Posted by Whitney Kimball on Fri, Mar 1, 2013 at 11:43 AM
We learned through the grapevine this week that there's a new net art gallery coming to Bushwick. Transfer is scheduled to open March 16th, and we’re excited.
