Simon de Pury

Since Thursday night is the unofficial start of the weekend and I’m in actually in a good mood, here are a few words of inspiration from Simon de Pury and the cast of Work of Art.

I’ll never think of a Renoir painting the same way again. Thanks for that mental image Simon. But I’ll always be bold, creative, and inspired thanks to you.

Pixel Sorting

Unstage posted some great photos made by using a technique called pixel sorting. The image below was made by Kim Asendorf from her series of pixel sorted landscapes. It kind of looks like datamoshing a still image, which is pretty damn awesome. Read more about it and check out some images here.

Inception Legos

I found this via designyoutrust who posted from My Modern Met: Lego scenes inspired by Inception, which I imagine will be the best movie of 2010 and will win at least one Academy Award.

Work of Art

Art critic Jerry Saltz has an article on New York Magazine’s web site, which you can read here about his thoughts on Bravo’s Work of Art TV show. He’s also got really good recaps of all the episodes up on the site. I really liked the show, despite its short season and I’m glad with how it ended. I’m hoping for a 2nd season, and I hope it comes soon. We need better shows on TV.
Mediaweek put together this interesting video with interviews and clips from the show.

This weekend in photos

This weekend’s fun was well documented by my mobile phone and Diana camera. Here’s what happened:
The Handsome Devilz played at Navy Pier. They played 2 sets but because of work, we were only able to see the 2nd set. A great show as always and in a great setting. I need to get over to Navy Pier again this summer.
The Handsome Devilz Live at Navy Pier 8-6-10
I shot a bunch of other photos at Navy Pier also. Check the flickr page to see the rest of them.
We then walked over to the loop and saw the Tony Tasset “Eye” and laughed at these guys who were smoking pot and heckling the Lollapalooza crowd as they walked by. I walked back to the Chicago brown line stop and finished my roll of film at the Cadillac Palace Theater.

On Saturday we saw The Cribs at The Cubby Bear. Warpaint opened and killed it. A special treat was to see Johnny Marr so close and so great with The Cribs. I’m definitely going to listen to more of these bands.

Experimental Film Friday!

Martha Colburn is one of my favourite experimental filmmmakers. I love how all her animations are handmade and shot on 16mm film. There’s a very timeless quality to them and a visual style that I hope never goes away.

Kenneth Anger

So glad I checked out Kitsune Noir today and got to see Kenneth Anger’s new fashion film for Missoni. I’m especially glad because such an influential figure in American experimental film is still working, and making great work well into his 80′s.
