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.

We covered the amazing Ron Mueck several months ago right here at Dogmatic and now some more amazing photos of his work have surfaced.
Ron Mueck is an Australian hyper-realist sculptor working in the UK. His incredible sculptures of creepy, grotesque, mottled skin and uncannily gigantic proportional figures have adorned the Millennium Dome as well as Charles Saatchi’s living room for a number of years now. It would be fair to say, Mueck’s one of the leading contemporary artists of today.
His early career was as a model maker and puppeteer for children’s television and films, notably the film “Labyrinth” staring Bowie. Mueck moved on to establish his own company in London, making photo-realistic props and animatronics for the advertising industry. This eventually led him to conclude, “photography pretty much destroys the physical presence of the original object”, and so he turned to fine art, in particular, sculpture.
Follow the jump and be prepared to be blown away…

220 NEW YORK ARTISTS ARE SUDDENLY HOMELESS . . .YOU CAN HELP!
10-25-07 POST KEYWORDS: New York, Artists, Evicted, Help, NY1, SVA, Artsucks.com, Cojo
Doesn’t it suck when artists get fucked over? Some of my former SVA classmates contacted me over the last couple of days about a pretty serious situation involving 220 or so disfranchised tenants of an artist loft in Queens. 80-90 percent of the residents were artists of some sort; writers, photographers, designers, people in the fashion industry, art teachers, musicians, as well as painters and sculptors ( Many had pets, many were SVA alumni).
Here is an exclusive first hand description of what happened from one of my fellow alums detailing exactly what went down from the tenants’ perspective, and how you can help this artist community the city forgot. . . – CONTINUE READING

| From the Bronx to Brooklyn, the second PERFORMA biennial inundates New York with four weeks of performance art events by more than 90 artists, touching down at 50-odd institutions, both established and emerging. Organized by performance art guru RoseLee Goldberg, PERFORMA 07 promises to restore a salient aspect of New York’s artistic legacy with a major retrospective of Allan Kaprow, various panel discussions, “late-night get-togethers” at select bars, PERFORMA TV streaming on the Internet, PERFORMA Radio, and even historical re-enactments by Eva and Franco Mattes in the virtual realm of Second Life.Ten commissioned works anchor the biennial, including an ambitious project by Italian provocateur Francesco Vezzoli, whose one-night, star-studded restaging of Luigi Pirandello’s 1917 play Right You Are (If You Think You Are) in the Guggenheim’s rotunda kicked off the festival. As with PERFORMA 05, the projected image is important to many artists’ work; Daria Martin builds her structuralist film Harpstrings and Lava from improvisational sessions with harpist Zeena Parkins and dancer Nina Fog, while Nathalie Djurberg’s new claymation film, performed with live accompaniment, depicts the grisly story of children fending off angry canines.
Dance also plays a central role in many of the commissioned works, including Kelly Nipper’s Floyd on the Floor — a hurricane-inspired work with a gigantic parachute — at the legendary Judson Church. In the atrium of 590 Madison Avenue, Mexican artist Carlos Amorales‘ 400-piece wooden platform, Spider Web Negative (stage), resonates with subsonic frequencies as a feral-costumed Galia Eibenschutz interacts with the sculpture and viewers. At the Hudson Theater, conceptual-dance pioneer-turned-heady filmmaker Yvonne Rainer draws inspiration for RoS Indexical from Stravinsky and Nijinsky’s 1913 ballet The Rite of Spring. London-born filmmaker Isaac Julien enlists choreographer Russell Maliphant’s troupe to transform three of his multichannel epics — True North, Fantôme Afrique, and Small Boats — into a live performance at BAM. In a multisensory extravaganza at Performance Space 122, Brooklyn noise-rock band Japanther present a wry rock opera with a set designed by Dan Graham and frenetic dance by Robbinschilds. Sanford Biggers explores the complex legacy of early 20th-century minstrel shows in his multimedia, multi-performer work The Somethin’ Suite at the Box, and Adam Pendleton presents an experimental sermon, created with playwright Larry Kramer and poets Paolo Javier and Leslie Scalapino, for the music and spoken-word event The Revival at the Stephan Weiss Studio. PERFORMA 07 also hosts Beijing-based arts organization Long March Project, which sponsors its own range of events, including The Thunderstorm Is Slowly Approaching by artist Qiu Zhijie, featuring multimedia works and a dragon dance, a series of panels at Harlem’s Studio Museum, and conceptualist Xu Zhen’s performance In Just a Blink of an Eye at James Cohan Gallery. (HGM) PERFORMA continues in New York City through November 20. PERFORMA Radio broadcasts on WFMU 91.5, while PERFORMA TV streams live online for the duration of the biennial. |

Mark Dean Veca’s new exhibition Imbroglio just opened at the Jonathan LeVine Gallery in New York, a 17-piece installation of paintings on panel. Imbroglio is a contemporary toile de jouy, every bit as rococo as its antecedents. Lurking through the layers of green and blue are pop culture icons like Super Mario and Betty Boop, John Belushi and hamburgers. Each piece is either round or oval and fits into the site-specific installation.

James Naccarato’s current show The Inevitable March Into Madness is about man’s desire to dominate over everything he knows: science, technology and nature. Not a happy theme, greed eats up everything in sight and the madness is the ultimate dead end. Naccarato’s landscape is peopled with winged creatures, an abundance of eyeballs and growths that combine nature and science. It is an eerie one that shows us that the end can only be nigh.

The Inevitable March Into Madness runs at the Corey Helford Gallery in Culver City until November 3.

The Mofo’s photos
LINK quote [You've probably seen a lot of bloggers and other artsy types who post a photo of themselves every single day for a year so that they can very slowly document the long, cold march of time as it descends slowly into the grasp of Death's grim embrace. (Maybe that's just our take.) Well, thankfully at least one of these web shutterbugs—the colorfully named "Mofo"—has decided that rather than look at some lonely dude sitting in his bedroom for one year straight, folks would probably rather see photos that he's taken of 365 hot chicks in various states of undress. Guess what? He's 100% right].
