Agnes Bolt x 5
Agnes Bolt made analog video versions of 5 of Rafaël Rozendaal’s websites: jello time .com, popcorn painting .com, much better than this .com, to the water .com and color flip .com. And I have proven my point that Grateful Grapefruit can be not just about body culture and focusing on male beauty and fashion. It continues to be a place for nerds and geeks – and I don’t mean
Read MoreEric Staller: Urban UFOs
Eric Staller (Amsterdam) is maybe the biggest and most constant optimist I’ve ever seen. For over 35 years he has been an art optimist sharing his positivity with the world. His work comes in 3 sizes: S (studio works), M (urban UFOs) and L (permanents artworks in public places). I’ve chosen to show you 3 of his Urban UFOs videos
Read MoreBad Things That Could Happen
Bad Things That Could Happen is a self explanatory film made up of seven short scenes. Playing with scale and bringing objects to life, the film creates a subverted world where the mundane becomes absurd. THIS IS IT are a collective of illustrators, animators, artists and designers based in London. Although each artist works individually and in a variety of

Second in a roll, here comes a great video by talent from Australia I’ve already presented on Grateful Grapefruit – Kit Webster. Responding to the 2010 Gertrude Projection Festival theme ‘You,Me,Us’, Textavision allows anyone to text a word and have associated images emblazoned across the Gertrude Hotel. Programmers: Abraham Manzanares Chris Plant Björn Schwarzer Music: Nonsense Projection hire and calibration:

I am trying to prove a point here. Grateful Grapefruit and I were accused of being hipsterical and not arty and nerdy anymore. Excuse me?! Fil challenged me to post 5 consecutive entries that are NOT body-related and NOT coming from Berlin, NYC or Tokyo. I said OK and am on my way to prove him wrong. First off is
Read MoreFrance et Francois: I Want To Be You
France de Griessen will feel a bit neglected when she finds out that the focus of this post is not on her persona and music, but on Francois Sagat featured in her new video. But before we go to him, let me give you a short update on de Griessen: she is a true romantic wild child, her music is

Sometimes it is good to remain silent after an amazing video work like that. I can only look forward to more from this Audiovisual Design class 2010 at the University for Applied Sciences Düsseldorf. Thanks to designisawhore for the link. Abstract shortmovie by: Fritz Schiffers Merle Düpmeier Lars Hillen Elena Stoljarowa Sounddesign: Fabian Wolf
Read MoreSandy Kim
If I were a girl, I’d definitely have a crush on Sandy Kim. She is furious. Her book Sandy Kim Photography has captured some of the best (mostly fucked up) NYC and SF moments as well as the story of a defloration (or intercourse during some girl’s period) Oh, and BTW she was also picked as Ryan McGinley’s favorite new
Read MoreNick Ray McCann
Nick Ray McCann has visited India recently. Or that’s at least what his last blog post says. But let’s forget about curry for a second (although I love it) and focus on the art of this young (23) photographer and multimedia talent. Nick Ray McCann was born in 1987 in Chicago, IL, but later moved to Baltimore, MD, where he grew up
Read MoreEmilio Gomariz
Emilio Gomariz is a crazy geek. And fortunately doesn’t have a godly complex. Where other artists write in 3rd person about themselves, Emilio just says hi: Hey! My name is Emilio, I’m industrial designer and art director. I live and work in Madrid, Spain. I love creativity and I like to see how the people express it in many different
Read MorePascal Lievre
Parisian artist Pascal Lievre loves glitter. At least as a medium in his latest project called GLITTERECTION includings works such as BAD ROMANCE, ‘Il Diabolo Gaga’ and ‘Il Angelo Gaga’. Livre is infamous for his multi-dimensional, avant-garde photography and this time it is no different (check out past artwork in the gallery below). Pascal Lièvre is a dynamic artist with projects in various
