Judith Supine’s Dirt Mansion
via Wooster: Favorite Show Of 2008: Judith Supine’s “DIRT MANSION” at English Kills Gallery
If you’re in the New York area, we can’t recommend highly enough that you check out Judith Supine’s first New York solo exhibition, “Dirt Mansion” which opens tonight at the English Kills Gallery in Brooklyn.
We went to the preview reception last night and were absolutely blown away. It’s by far our favorite show this year.
Taking a page from Faile and Banksy, rather than stage the show at an established gallery, Judith has taken over a warehouse deep in the heart of Bushwick and transformed it into a full 360 immersive experience.
A mixture of large scale works and 3D sculpture, the show is a collection of what we think is Judith Supine’s best work to date.
More info can be found here.

Nicholas Jones & Dan Tague via Art MoCo
There is fabulous interview with Australian artist Nicholas Jones over at Design Files, along with numerous photos of his work. Jones makes intricate sculptures out of old books, an elaborate series of cuts and folds.
Dan Tague’s prints of folded cash first look like crumpled up money, but when the viewer takes a moment to read the message created by carefully folding the bill just so, all is revealed. Via Notcot.
Monroe’s Last Nudes Lohan Redux
MONROE’S LAST NUDES LOHAN REDUX
Looking at the New York Magazine Nude Lohan prints, as an artist who’s taken many reference photoshoots, I felt the pictures only told half the story. I needed to see how they compared to the original Marilyn shots and which Marilyn photos were used for reference. Just seeing the Lohan photos didn’t give me any perspective.
I painstakingly (it was fun) went through the original Bert Stern / Monroe “the last sitting” shot-by-shot and figured out (to my best guess) which pictures he referenced for the Lohan shoot. (see below)
How Lohan was able to take poses and expressions that are fun and alive in 1962 and make them look so dull and contrived in 2008 is amazing. Probably the one time when a little champagne tumble off the sobriety wagon would have been a good career move. . .

Made In Heaven is a British denim brand from the 1970s that has been given a new lease of life for the 21st century. These shots from the S/S 2008 ad campaign include some great looking pastel skinny jeans and high-waisted flares flares which come in pale blue and white.
The New York Times paid a visit to Jean Shop, the Manhattan based specialist denim store that sells its own brand of raw jeans which can be dyed and distressed to your specifications.
The response we got after posting the inflatable bear photos last week was amazing. We couldn’t be happier to follow it up with these two wonderful videos, shot and sent to us by the artist, Joshua Allen Harris.
After watching the videos, we love the project even more…

This master painter, sculptor and illustrator from Strasbourg, France has the stylistic graphics that range from fashion, history, and advertising. Each illustrated compartment are very different. His portfolio is outstanding and pushes the envelope for the ability of illustrators to turn out more than just line and marker drawings.
Antoine Helbert’s portraits unleash a dark stare into the surreal surroundings of his models. He paints an ambiance so startling, you can’t help but stare. It should be no surprise that I relay he is also the scenic painter for Strasbourg’s Opera. His technique is oil on canvas for rich colors with eye-popping light sources.
His website contains a gorgeous collection of all his mediums and work. Antoine has created many posters for exhibitions, music festivals, and cultural events. He is a rising French star aiming high on his illustrative canvas of possibilities.
Artist: Megan Baker
Megan Baker has been taking photographs since she took hold of the Polaroid at age four. In addition to concert photography, Baker’s photo focus is on abandoned houses and small towns that have suffered economic distress. Decampment is an incredible series that takes us inside and out along this journey. The light, the colours, the mood – these photos linger. And we almost hate to bring this up, but Megan Baker happens to be sixteen-years-old.

Kimora Lee Simmons Files for Divorce
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kimora Lee Simmons has already moved on, but she took steps to make it official by filing for divorce from her husband of seven years, entertainment mogul Russell Simmons.
Although the couple separated in March 2006, Kimora Lee Simmons just filed divorce papers Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court. The 32-year-old Baby Phat fashion designer and reality TV star cited irreconcilable differences.
She and Russell Simmons, 50, have two daughters: 8-year-old Ming Lee and 5-year-old Aoki Lee. Kimora Lee Simmons is seeking legal and physical custody of the children. She requested that Russell Simmons be granted “reasonable child visitation … accompanied at all times by the children’s nanny and security personnel.”
Russell Simmons co-founded Def Jam records and created Phat Farm clothing and HBO’s “Def Comedy Jam.”
Kimora Lee Simmons has been dating actor Djimon Honsou.
