Like it or not, we are in the midst of a second arts revolution
Like it or not, we are in the midst of the biggest arts-and-culture revolution since the printing press. This one takes culture out of the hands of the critics and the creators.

The Venice Biennale: An Orphanage for the Terminally Out-of-Touch
All of which is to say, the art professional who believes artists are magical unicorns who will save us all is looking increasingly silly. And so, visiting this year’s Venice Biennale Viva Art Viva curated by Christine Macon, which begins with the premise that artists will shape the world to come, felt a bit like walking through a United Way commercial.

L.A.-based artist Alexa Meade’s 2D paintings reverse the Trompe L’oeil traditional technique
L.A.-based artist Alexa Meade takes the tradition of Trompe L’oeil — the Renaissance painting technique in which objects appear real — and reverses the process, turning the human body into seemingly two-dimensional tableaus and incredible portraits.

The Labor of Sound in a World of Debt
Now, even less than in decades and centuries past, it cannot be denied that sound and music are deeply embedded in economic and material networks of exponentially increasing complexity. Sound and music are not abstract concerns, floating free from a politically charged context of labor, power and society, and neither are the messages and joys they bring. It is dependent on, determined by, and reflective of the work that made it and the world into which it is born.

The Caretaker's An Empty Bliss Beyond This World
The Caretaker conjures a quieter, more introspective spirit, lost in his own mind amidst a low-lit labyrinth of ever-decaying and antediluvian shellac phrases. Sourced from a mysterious collection of 78s, these vague snippets of archaic sonics reflect the ability of Alzheimers patients to recall the songs of their past, and with them recollections of places, people, moods and sensations.

It seems like we’ve been screaming about IGLOOGHOST for a good bit now, but until the kid hits a milli on every platform we’re just gonna keep screamin’. I first came across iggy through his Activia Benz released “Inca Cheekbones” single, and my eyes almost popped out my head when the track’s initial wall-of-bass hit my ears.
