Art Linkz — TEMPORARY ART REVIEW


An exciting new website community of artists, writers, cultural producers and more just hit the web earlier this year. Centered in St. Louis, Missouri, but reaching out the the art scenes in Texas, San Francisco, North Carolina, and New York, the exhibition reviews feature several different writers (full disclaimer: one of the writers from YOAW, too).
There are also site and project profiles, interviews, and essays. If you’re an artist or writer and would like to get involved, contact the editors, as they’re currently looking for people to write from various art scenes around North America and the world.

Thriller! Braddock Badass LaToya Ruby Frazier takes on Levi’s in SOHO

LaToya Ruby Frazier, in collaboration with Liz Magic Laser, makes this fantastic video reflecting upon the gap between commercial capitalist slogans by a giant jeans manufacturer, Levi’s, and the small Pennsylvania community of Braddock, outside of Pittsburgh, PA, where the scene is decidedly different from how the jeans company depicts it in a recent advertising campaign.

It’s a pretty brilliant performance that calls into question Levi’s own slogan, “Everyone’s work is equally important” — especially because some would question what this artist’s work is ‘worth’.

Nevermind the Swim Trunks

It’s 17 years since Spencer Elden was photographed by Kirk Weddle in a swimming pool in California. The image – with the addition of a dollar bill on a fishing hook – would of course go on to achieve iconic status on the cover of Nirvana’s 1991 masterpiece Nevermind.

Street With a View - Best Google Easter Egg Ever!!

We reported on this several months ago when we were involved in the shooting of this project.  Artists Ben Kinsley and Robin Hewlett collaborated with the Google Street View team to create “Street with a View”.  This project involved months of planning, a cast of hundreds of Pittsburghers, and the cooperation of the Mattress Factory.  Here is the Official Street With A View Web Site.

This performative easter egg is, hands down, the coolest and most elaborate easter egg that google has ever snuck in to one of their products. Check it out!
