More Inspiring Art

• Museo Ettore Guatelli

  An amazing collection of tools and other everyday  items collected by Ettore Guatelli and displayed on his farm in Parma. There are over 60,000 items organized into types/sizes and other ephemera. The idea behind the collection is both to express an aesthetic point of view, but also to document the history of each item.

• Uno Moralez

  Let’s get weird: There’s nothing I don’t like about this work by Russian illustrator Uno Moralez.

• Views from the Internet

  I really like something about “Views from the Internet,” by Penelope Umbrico. This was conceived and displayed for the New York Photography Festival in 2008. So pretty. From her site: “Views from the Internet” (2006 ongoing) is a project that investigates the views through windows on home improvement Internet sites. The windows in these places [...]

• Flaming Lips “See the Leaves”

  The Flaming Lips have nothing to prove. If if they want to make every video from their latest album be the same thing: a naked girl in a blindfold with some psychedelic stuff going on, I guess we can’t complain. It’s not lazy. It’s thematic… right? Either way, click the picture above to watch the [...]

• Phil Poynter | Ponystep Monotone symphony

  Photographer Phil Poynter‘s shoot for Ponystep Magazine Spring/Summer 2011. Need we say more?

• Painting the ATLAS Particle Accelerator

  Artist Josef Kristofoletti was recently commissioned to paint a mural on the structure containing the ATLAS particle accelerator near Geneva, Switzerland. What did he paint? The THING ITSELF. I don’t get it, but hey — it’s science, and I LIKE IT!

• Vanessa Lamounier

  Let’s be honest: there’s no shortage of fashion-magazine-collage art out there. It’s practically a genre in itself. But somehow, Vanessa Lamounier is able to make me look at things in a whole new way with her ugly, fractured, prismatic renderings of skinny blondes and naked girls in knee-highs. Check out her Flickr for more. | [...]

• Willi Dorner

  This past weekend in NYC, as part of the Crossing the Line festival, the financial district was invaded by these colorful contortionist performers, led by choreographer Willi Dorner in a piece called “Bodies in Urban Spaces.” The results were hilarious. You can see more pics @ the Wall Street Journal.

• 58 Cents by David Horvitz

  David Horvitz is a Brooklyn-based artist whom I admire and respect very much. In his new project 58 Cents, he aims to pay off the entirety of his student loan debt by asking total strangers to send payments to Sallie Mae, one 58-cent-check at a time. Wish I’d thought of this first… Funny, smart, practical.
