Hypno-face
Here’s a metaphor for what happens typically when I have an art related epiphany. If you know me, you know that this describes my life.

“Alan Belcher has produced new work for this exhibition, a ceramic multiple edition. Known for his pioneering of the “photo-object_ genre (artworks which fused the disciplines of photography and sculpture); he has furthered that exploration with a multiple series of what can be seen as perhaps the ultimate “photo-object”. Belcher has taken the ephemeral nature of the universal jpeg, and solidified its default icon into a standard image surrogate. The edition entitled “______.jpg” was fabricated in China, is a series of 125 pieces each signed and dated.” 25 Years of Talent at Marianne Boesky Gallery, curated by Michelle Grabner May 2 - Jun 16, 2012.
EDIT: Here’s Alan Belcher’s profile at Saatchi Online.

So many little happy found-art faces, characters, and little worlds to be found at Sabine Timm’s Flickr.

I’m pretty sure everyone needs a little time with the Trading Tortoise! Souther has such crazy, fun ideas that at their heart are quite simple.
If you would like a giant tortoise to show up in your neighborhood and swap treasures with you, then please watch this video, consider contributing to our kickstarter, and help spread the word!

If I was in LA I’d certainly be heading to Mike Mitchell’s solo show at Gallery 1988 which opens on Friday. At least I have these samples to whet my appetite.

I had the pleasure of meeting Facundo Quinto and his equally delightful wife Feli last week here in Buenos Aires. His sculptures are really stunning. ¡Maravilloso!
I just love Jake Parker’s contribution to Gallery Nucleus’s upcoming Dr. Seuss Show.
