The charismatic Sir Lionel Frost considers himself to be the world’s foremost investigator of myths and monsters. The trouble is none of his small-minded high-society peers seems to recognize this. Sir Lionel’s last chance for acceptance by the adventuring elite rests on traveling to America’s Pacific Northwest to prove the existence of a legendary creature. A living remnant of Man’s primitive ancestry.

TweetHow Deep Is Our Love? will be Paul Régimbeau’s first LP for Hands In The Dark after a series of records on In Paradisum. The press release says the album turns towards a “more ambient, intimate, less abrasive style” than his past techno releases. It comprises four longform pieces based on “minimalist instrumental improvisations.”
The LP will also serve as the soundtrack to a new film adaption of Kafka’s The Silence Of The Sirens play by Romanian director Diana Vidrascu.

TweetThis solo exhibition will present a series a small scale vintage gelatin silver prints from Kramer’s celebrated body of work, Interior Views. The exhibition re-evaluates Kramer’s photographs with the inclusion of many recently discovered views from the artist’s archive, after his death in 2017.
These black and white photographs, with their sharp eye for the pattern and details of domestic settings, established Kramer as a distinct talent whose avoidance of “romantic bombast” and “emphasis on formal clarity,” made his pictures particularly fresh, when they were exhibited by Jane Livingston at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in 1978. In their emphasis on emotionally restrained, frontal views of rooms they look back and reference the work of Walker Evans, especially Evans’ Message From the Interior. In their attention to pattern and line as visual motifs within everyday spaces, he reveals his bond with another 20th century photographic master, his mentor Minor White.

Caleb Cain Marcus was inspired to create “A Brief Movement After Death” after the birth of his first child. He writes, “As I watched my daughter interact with the world, I saw how many experiences were ahead of her that I’d already lived. She was moving toward life in all its brilliance and I toward death.” This realization induced the artist to contemplate what happens when we die and how to artistically capture that passage from life to death.
“A Brief Movement After Death” breaks new ground for the artist as he expands beyond traditional photography to create these unique art objects that combine digital and hand-applied mediums. The digital photograph component of the work captures sky and ocean in a vast color range and richness along the coasts of New York and California. A narrow, solid color band at the base of the art object reflects an aggregation of all color within the above sky image. Finally, the artist has created a series of grease pencil markings that form patterns like a flock of birds across the object. These markings are created by suspending a grease pencil from a pendulum and then both swinging the grease pencil and moving the pendulum across the photograph. These three components combine to form these intimately sized unique art objects.

The Belgian label has joined with French street artist JR for a special set of skateboard decks to support Brazilian favelas. The featured decks incorporate the moment in 2016, when JR was invited to the Musée du Louvre. For the event, the artist announced he would make the museum’s famous glass Pyramid disappear. To achieve the feat, JR completely covered the structure with historical photographs pre-dating its construction. What resulted was a surprising anamorphosis: the museum’s forgotten former entrance bursting forth into the present and reclaiming its former glory.
