    Mac DeMarco – Passing Out Pieces (Official Video)

    Full of low res video tape murders and pulling salad out of his butt. The song from Salad Days has a fun camp feel we are all familar with when finding a camera. The video was directed by a fellow band-mate. Check out the shenanigans, and great music. The discription on the video states: “Demarco’s at it again, except this time he’s seen to much! Out for revenge with seemingly no good reason, no one is safe with this cretin roaming the street. There’s blood on his hands and he’s washing them clean, with more blood! All his paranoid fantasies have been realized in this disturbed and barbaric world. “I…

    Brandon Vickerd – The Passenger II

    Is this installment artwork  a literately form of  “duckface”? This is the second installment by artist Brandon vickerd titled “The Passenger”.   Here is the artists personal satment of his entire body of work: “Purposely diverse, my work straddles the line between high and low culture, acting as a catalyst for critical thought and addressing the failed promise of a modernist future predicated on boundless scientific advancement. Whether through craftsmanship, the creation of spectacle, or humour, my goal is to provoke the viewer into questioning the dominate myth of progress ingrained in Western world views. A satellite resting lifeless in a crater, recalling a modern day Icarus whose faith in…

    Paul Thek “The Tomb (frequently called Death of a Hippie)”

    Paul Thek – The Tomb (1967) “Officially Paul Thek died in 1988, but really he died twice. In 1967 he conceived The Tomb (frequently called Death of a Hippie) – the summation of a decade, a cultural ethos, and a career. It was the piece he never lived down and never lived up to. Thek became the unwilling prophet of the failure of counterculture idealism and could not regain the tragicomic intensity of The Tomb or his Technological Reliquaries, wax sculptures of raw meat and body parts encased within vitrines.” “The Tomb consisted of a one-story-high, pale pink structure reminiscent of a Sumerian ziggurat, within which lay a full-size, painstakingly crafted effigy of Thek himself. Painted pale pink, the replicant…

    Jeff Hong – “Unhappily ever after”

    Not every story ends the way we hope, and Jeff Hong’s series Unhappily Ever After confronts that idea with a darkly humorous twist. The artist reimagines beloved Disney characters, placing them in scenarios where happy endings are replaced by realistic, often jarring consequences. The result is a series that is both playful and unsettling, challenging viewers to reconsider the familiar narratives they have grown up with.

    Famous Landmarks Mid-Construction

    These landmarks are such a part of their regional culture we almost forget they had to be built. We view them like a natural mountain or a requirement of a skyline.  It’s interesting seeing these iconic landmarks mid creation. Humanizing the towering objects we’ve become so accustomed to.

This scale-model suburbia was washed away by the tide, which perhaps urges us to consider the relative transience of so solid a symbol of the American dream, particularly since the 2007 subprime mortgage collapse.
