This Week’s Must-See Art Events: The AFC Goth Benefit and More

by Michael Anthony Farley on April 17, 2017

The time has finally come. Our Goth Benefit is here. We’ll be converting Collapsable Hole into a goth wonderland, complete with drag performers, surprise guests, and options such as handcuffs for couples. (We’re also having a goth couple outfit contest, so plan accordingly). If last year’s benefit was any indication, this is basically going to be the party of the year.

Wednesday, nurse your hangover with a likely-nipple-tastic Betty Tompkins solo show at Marlborough Contemporary. Other highlights this week include Siebren Versteeg’s digital paintings at bitforms on Thursday, the annual Seven on Seven conference at the New Museum on Saturday, and Sunday’s open studios at the Studio Museum in Harlem.

Don’t forget: Buy your Goth Opera tickets now!

Thursday Links: Blood Vandals

Performance artist Istvan Kantor (Karl Lagerfeld lookalike?) vandalizes Jeff Koons retrospective with his own blood. This seems to be a pastime for him, seeing as he doused a Paul McCarthy sculpture in his blood in 2004. He won a Canadian award for that one. [Hyperallergic]
Gwangju Biennial president resigns after work criticizing South Korean president Park Geun-hye was censored by the local government. [The Art Newspaper]
Artforum likes Bunny Rogers. The artist just got a critic’s pick. She did a “Top Ten” for them this year. [h/t @mfortki, Artforum]
Chicagoans who like biking, jogging, or lollygagging around Lake Shore Drive will now be able to set their eyes upon a Christopher Wool sculpture. Lake Michigan just wasn’t enough of a view! [Chicago Tribune]
#Abramopug enjoys continued popularity, though so far, seems to have only one performance, “The Artist is Present,” in its repertoire. It’s going to have to do better than that if it wants to make it in this town. [Dazed Digital]
Five protesters die in police custody following a protest…in China. (One thing to be thankful for that hasn’t happened in Ferguson?) [United Press International]
A man walks into Atlanta’s High Museum of Art with a gun. He’s told that’s “NOT OKAY” (in different words, of course) and security detains him. Mr. Guy With a Gun is confused because he didn’t know he was breaking the law—because the museum didn’t have proper signage telling him not to bring in his gun. This, just two months after Georgia passed a “guns everywhere” law. [NBC Atlanta via @Juliahalperin]
We missed this last month, but a Forbes writer has suggested closing all the libraries and buying everyone an Amazon Kindle subscription. Because a library is basically an inefficient storage warehouse. [Forbes]
Here’s a solid piece of criticism. I didn’t care what the New York Times’s “Bookends” column was doing ‘til now, but Jesus, these prompts are terrible, and they’re a total product of the newsy Internet opinion factory. Free the writers! [Salon]
The cheapest apartment in Manhattan below 96th Street will cost you $170,000. Looking at the dealer’s images, seems like this linoleum-filled studio needs some handiwork. [Curbed New York]
An unexpected creative tip from ad agencies: make something so bad that it’s good again. That was the very intentional premise behind making this Missouri Mall back-to-school ad, as well as this car dealership rap. The former went instantly viral. When it works it works, I guess. [Time]
“That’s not a litter box, it’s CAT SHIT JAIL.” [The Toast]
Lockhart Steele, the Editorial Director of Vox Media, and one time old school blogger (Steele founded Curbed and Eater), is bringing back his blog. [The Verge]

Net Artist Daily: Gossip Gurl!

by Paddy Johnson on October 29, 2013

Ever feel like the net art community isn’t insular enough? Consider those woes cured with Net Artist Daily, an insider net art link blog with the tone of Gawker and the humor of the Onion. They’ve dubbed themselves The Huffington Post-Internet, a fitting title because like the writers at the Huffington Post, net artists never get paid.

NADA New York
May 10th – May 12th, 2013
Pier 36, Basketball City. (299 South St. on the corner of South St. and Montgomery St.) Booth P10

BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, 2013 – Art F City is pleased to announce the debut of AFC Selects, a limited-edition USB drive containing exclusive artworks by 11 internationally renowned artists: Anthony Antonellis, Jacob Ciocci, Paul B. Davis, Rollin Leonard, Sara Ludy, Lorna Mills, Shana Moulton, Jon Rafman, Rafael Rozendaal, Bunny Rogers, and Nicolas Sassoon. Each set of artworks is contained on a luxury Mobiado USB drive crafted from a single piece of sapphire crystal. AFC Selects will be available at the Art F City booth at NADA New York.

AFC Selects is generously endowed with enormous talents. Published in an edition of 100, AFC Selects contains original, commissioned artwork, including museum-quality videos and screensavers, large-scale GIFs, and custom software patches. From Sara Ludy’s 449 frame billowing cloud GIF, to Shana Moulton’s video documenting the bizarre effects of new age massage, the drive contains work that is extraordinary, beautiful, and just plain weird. It is nothing short of amazing.

Custom ribbons and packaging for the drive have been designed by artist Bunny Rogers, and each drive comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by Art F City’s Paddy Johnson and all eleven artists. AFC Selects will be the first portfolio of its kind to take net art offline and put it where the collector can have it — inside a single piece of sapphire.

Proceeds from the sale will support Art F City. For information on how to view works or purchase a drive please contact rhett@artfcity.com.
