Moon Ribas "Waiting For Earthquakes" @ The Chimney In New York

Last night the Catalan artist Moon Ribas performed Waiting for Earthquakes at the Chimney NYC in Bushwick. The one-night performance curated by Adriana Pauly was held in front of the backdrop of Kiran Chandra’s video installation Mother of Intentions. Ribas whose practice investigates the intersectionality of nature, technology and humanity, moved behind the thin curtains of Chandra’s exhibition. The hanging curtains and dancing shadows of the opposing projections mimic the shadow play of Plato’s Allegory Of The Cave, further underlined by the invisible power that determined Ribas’ movements. Ribas physically experiences the vibrations of earthquakes around the world in real time through a sensor implanted in her elbow, giving her an additional sense she calls the seismic sense. She becomes further removed from humanity than the prisoners of Plato’s cave yet more connected to the earth its powerful interplay. photographs by Andres Burgos

Read Our Exclusive Interview With The Legendary Artist and Sculptor Allen Jones From Autre's LOVE Issue Out Now →

Allen Jones is a living legend. To this day, his iconic furniture sculptures literally stand, kneel and hunch over, as life-like remnants of not only the pop art movement, but also the sexual revolution of the 1960s. When Jones’ trademark fornophillic work, Hatstand, Table and Chair was unveiled in 1970, it was met with both praise and militant protest. Indeed, the work is combustible and tears down some of the tallest walls we have built around our understanding of figurative art. But if you ask Jones if he is a rebel, as we did in the following interview, he will tell you that he is only carrying the torch that many artists have carried before him and not using the torch to burn down the institution. If you’ve seen Stanley Kubrick’s film adaptation of the novel A Clockwork Orange, you’ve seen interpretations of Jones’ oeuvre in the famous Korova Milk Bar. Kubrick asked Jones if he would recreate some of his furniture sculptures for the film, but the artist politely declined. Click here to read more. 

Hanna Liden "No Weather Data Available" @ 56 Henry Gallery In New York

In the main gallery Liden presents three cast-concrete sculptures, all molded from crook-handle umbrellas. Rendered in battleship grey, deep charcoal, and cautionary orange, the umbrella sculptures are suspended at inconsistent heights from the gallery ceiling. Two umbrellas dangle from welded industrial chain, and a third hangs from a noose looped around its handle. Strung up by their necks, the casts begin to resemble bodies hanged from an executioner’s scaffold. Hanna Liden "No Weather Data Available" will be on view until May 1, 2016 at 56 Henry Gallery in New York. photographs by Adam Lehrer

Last Chance to Catch Christian Eckhart "Post-Post" @ Wilding Cran Gallery In Los Angeles

Wilding Cran Gallery is presents Post-Post, a solo exhibition by internationally acclaimed, Houston based artist Christian Eckart. Featuring new works, the exhibition explores Eckart’s philosophical inquiry and interrogation of the concept of “Art” articulated in the form of painting/sculpture hybrids. A highlight of the exhibition is The Absurd Vehicle, which was produced over a five year period from 2006-2011. Considered to be one of Eckart’s seminal and summary objects, he regards The Absurd Vehicle as a painting with an identity crisis, extending from the tradition of the Northern Romantic Sublime. He sees the work as a painting that decided to become a sculpture, then a hot-rod, then a space vehicle, then a time machine and finally resolving itself, seemingly, as an oracle. The title, The Absurd Vehicle, references the motivations, aspirations and perhaps implausibility for paintings to be used as mechanisms of and for transcendence. Christian Eckhart "Post-Post" will be on view until April 2, 2016 at Wilding Cran Gallery, 939 South Santa Fe Avenue Los Angeles CA

A Samurai of The Sea: Read Our Interview With Nolan Hall On Surf Culture, Deadbeat Photographers Club And His Upcoming Solo Exhibition →

Surf culture has a certain spiritual mysticism that extends beyond the sport and enters the realm of the samurai. There are codes, there are secrets and there are veils split by the curling lip of the tide. Surfers are like samurai warriors of the sea. Growing up in Capistrano Beach, the waves beckoned a young Nolan Hall and so did the clandestine beaches, and secret surf locales and the legends of the sport. And since, surf culture has become a way of life for Hall; not only as a surfer, but also a documentarian. His photographs have taken him on wild adventures – a selection of those images will be shown at his solo exhibition, entitled Peregrines, opening this weekend at Paul Loya Gallery. Click here to read the interview.
