This Week’s Must-See Art Events: Spend Valentine’s Day Grabbing Bjarne Melgaard’s Sloppy Seconds

by Michael Anthony Farley on February 13, 2017

Bjarne Melgaard is going through a reinvention phase, which means he’s giving away his entire $500K wardrobe for free on Valentine’s Day at Red Bull Studios. Then he’s launching his new project: a streetwear line with ~~an installation~~ a department store at the same spot Thursday night. Then two painters offer unique takes on domesticity through still lives—Sydney Licht at Kathryn Markel Fine Arts and Crys Yin at Amy Li Projects.

Friday night, things get weirder with a dystopian video game from Jeremy Couillard at yours mine & ours, artwork lost in translation at Tiger Strikes Asteroid, and a late-night performance from Actually Huizenga and one-time-AFC-contributor SSION (video above). The weekend brings two more all-women shows conceived in response to Trump’s sexism: BODY/HEAD Saturday night at Be Fluent NYC and BEAT at On Stellar Rays Sunday afternoon. Lookin’ good, NYC.

Monday Links: Medieval Reactions, Alien Art Handlers

by The AFC Staff on March 23, 2015

Only the New Yorker editorial staff could get away with the line “It feels good to live like the one per cent.” Yes, after reviewing the bacon cheeseburger, chicken paillard, and the fudgy brownie, that’s exactly the emotion I would have, too. [The New Yorker]
Kids love that song from the Frozen soundtrack. One adult agrees with their passion, to the chagrin of every other parent in the world: “Whoa,” say my friends with small kids. “If ‘Let It Go’ were on an endless loop in your home, and your car, you would actually hate the song with a teeth-gnashing passion as we do.” [The Weeklings]
“When you and the squad are smashing karaoke.” There’s a meme-worthy medieval painting for everyone on Medieval Reactions [Twitter @MedievalReacts]
In light of the Hito Steyerl show at Artists Space, her essay “In Free Fall: A Thought Experiment on Vertical Perspective” is worth a look. The thesis here is that the diminished importance of the horizon line in art has created a feeling of groundlessness and disorientation, but also freedom. [e-flux Journal]
Hey, Kelly Kapowski, identity politics look good on you, gurl. [Saved by the Bell Hooks]
As if you needed another reason love belting out the chorus to “Dancing On My Own” from the middle of the dance floor (you know it’s drunk o’clock when Robyn enters the rotation), the avant-pop star just announced her intent to launch a festival promoting women in technology. [Pitchfork]
Do you love mall kiosks? Candy Crush invites? Comic Sans? Republican governor and all-around terrible human Scott Walker? We didn’t think so. That’s the assumption driving the Scott Walker Loves Tumblr. It’s an aggregate for things you hate, and things so subtly annoying, you never knew you hated them until now. [Scott Walker Loves]
Here’s a looping video narrative by Jeremy Couillard in which two alien art handlers fold up a virtual painting. No idea what to make of this. [The Art Handlers]
