A Private Walk Through Of The Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) On The Occasion of Art Basel 2015

On the occasion of Art Basel Miami 2015, the Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) gave the media a private glance at some of their current exhibitions and special projects. Highlights from the tour include a large mid-career retrospective by artist Nari Ward, which includes mixed-media collages, photography, assemblage, sculpture, interactive works, video, and architectural installations. Other highlights include Bik Van der Pol's aviary, entitled Speechless, which houses five parrots that are taught to mimic phrases from T.S. Elliot’s seminal 1922 poem, “The Waste Land,” comparing landscape devastated by war to the ecological devastation of today. Nari Ward: Sun Splashed will be on view until February 21, 2016 at Perez Art Museum Miami, 1103 Biscayne Blvd. photographs by Scout MacEachron

Getting Afreaky: Check Out Our Interview and Studio Tour Of The Mystical Creative Force of Nature That Is The Haas Brothers →

The Haas brothers seem like mystical ambassadors from the future. However, they are not here to portend of doom and gloom, like the current headlines may lead you to predict. Indeed, the future looks pretty bright according to Nikolai and Simon Haas – fraternal twins who make high-end sculptural objects that only the very lucky can afford, but are almost talismanic in their complexity and humorous in their intentional simplicity. The materials the brothers use mimic natural and rare phenomena in nature. This gives their work a sexual energy that takes phallic and vaginal forms, replete with folds and shafts and rounded curves that could make the prudish contingent quite sensitive. Put the work together and it looks like a combination of Maurice Sendak's menagerie of Wild Things and Dr. Seuss on too many tabs of acid. Click here to read the interview and see more pictures. 

Linda McCartney and Mary McCartney: Mother Daughter Opening @ Gagosian Gallery in New York

Exhibited together for the first time, the photographs of the late Linda McCartney and her daughter Mary explore the connective tissue of family, common experience, and a love of the photographic medium. Their images are highly instinctual, rather than analytical; as well they reveal a great ability to capture fleeting moments of intimacy. Spanning three decades, works by the photographers are organized to reveal the almost symbiotic harmony between them. The exhibition is a treasury of moments derived from relaxed interactions with family, a dazzling array of celebrities—Aretha Franklin, Jimi Hendrix, Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, Kate Moss, Rihanna—and everyday life. Evident is a shared sensibility between mother and daughter in how they establish an emotional rapport with their subjects and exact a sense of their true selves. Rather than distinguishing between works by Linda or Mary, the installation proposes their vision of the world as one. Linda McCartney and Mary McCartney: Mother Daughter will be on view until December 19, 2015 at Gagosian Gallery, 976 Madison Avenue, New York. photographs by J Grassi (Patrick McMullen Company)

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Where will you be eating today? Family? Friends? Both? To commemorate the holiday we put together this playlist counting down a slew of songs that express gratitude to one thing or another. Leonard Cohen and Jeff Buckley's versions of 'Hallelujah' both praise the state of existing in this world. Lou Reed is grateful for heroin in this version of the Velvet Underground's 'Heroin.' Everyone is thankful for sex, and in 'Fuck the Pain Away' Peaches illuminates on the healing powers of rough sex while weird hair R&B singer Sisqo is merely thankful for the all mighty thong. On the more poignant end of the playlist is Stevie Wonder, whose track off 'Innervisions,' 'Living for the City,' express love and thanks for his parents. Bowie says thank you to all the heroes out there where ever they may be. Happy thanksgiving, and stay thankful. Click here to listen to the full playlist. 

Watch The Music Video For The Soupcans Track "Siamese Brutality"

“I decided the images needed to come to life before their inevitable destruction, so I just moved them around with my fingers and an exacto knife. I guess you could call the technique “paperteering.” It looked clunky and dumb and it made me laugh.” - Winston Hacking. Hacking created the music video for The Soupcans song "Siamese Brutality" off the Soft Party LP, which can be purchased here.
