Using what many would consider to be ‘green-waste’ or tree clippings, twigs, sticks and reeds (mostly of willow) are the medium for Dougherty’s jaw-dropping sculptures and structures. Whilst staying with my Genius (but you know what the say about the line between genius and insanity ;D) cousin Matty J in the Borderlands Motel of EPA, I was overcome with excitement to find an installation by Patrick Dougherty a mere 5 blocks from Matt’s apartment. I was able to snap a […]

“Exploring the space between art film and documentary,” ‘Leviathan’ is a highly innovative survey of life on a ground-fish trawler off the coast of Massachusetts. Originally learning about this project through the New York Times homepage, further investigation only caused greater intrigue. The film is a product of Harvard’s “Sensory Ethnography” department, and is just flat out awe-inspiring.

It’s quite a blantantly obvious statement to make, but: the variety of events that occur on this planet in a given week is mind-blowing.

As if part of a modern and hedonistic variant of religion, Russell Nachman‘s make-up wearing Metal-head angels self-indulge into pleasant stupor. Entitled “Palimpsests” (something reused or altered but still bearing visible traces of its earlier form), these demi-gods of partying blend classical stylings (check the gold leaf!!) with booze, cigs, and black magic of the modern day. Very interesting mixture and statement on debaucherous culture and religion by Mr.Nachman. ANGELS KNOW HOW TO PARTY.
