Anouk Schneider is a photographer born in Switzerland that currently works and lives in London. One of her latest personal works that I found quite interesting is a photographic book project that documents the life of a girl named, Roxanne. The project went on from 2000-2006 and it documents intimate details about her life. It is a quite interesting and long project with images that do not disappoint. Her website also has a variety of commissioned and more personal projects.

It’s Monday once again and my head is in the clouds so why not start the week with a bizarre and funny video from Sondre Lerche. I’m not sure if Sondre is a nutty dude or has taken one too many hits of acids but judging by his home made suit of armor, post hippie group choreography, and fat guys in elvis style outfits flying through the air that something just isn’t right in his creative head. Directed by Celia Rowlson-Hall

Christine_Wedding_Portrait

Christine Spangler’s collages are both tender and lewd.  There’s an innocuous, cross stitch sampler feel to her work – they’re filled with pretty flowers & graceful sparrows.  When you look a little closer you’ll discover something totally different going on.  The above collage was a wedding gift.  You can see Christine’s work in a show that opens tonight at Climate Gallery called Putting-It-All-Together.

Colorful acrylic paintings by artist Ryan Pierce - surreal, possibly telling of an impending doom, the absence of man leaves animals to wander through our remains.  I wonder, can you eat birds like this?

Tim Sullivan has created a sensory experience at the Steve Turner Contemporary not to be missed if you’re in the LA area this weekend.  Large, 4-ft polycarbonate plastic discs will play modified versions of songs like “Hotel California” from the gallery walls in addition to playing from a large record player all created by Sullivan.  

The artist’s work “continues to be inspired by various subcultures of California|Hollywood, hippies, death cults, sun worship, surf culture and Heavy Metal|and how they entered pop culture..”

This is awesome…

Andreas Fischer’s “Ghost Town” is currently on view in our lovely city of Chicago. Ghost Town, which is on view at two separate venues, Hyde Park Art Center and The Gahlberg Gallery, shows us two distinct selections of Andreas’s portraiture and imagined landscapes. There is a nice anonymous quality to these  locations and figures, with titles like “Original Location” and “Sunday Best”. Plus, the work actually becomes more engaging after you read about it, which in my opinion, is often not the case.
