Michael Jackson

vvork is posting Michael Jackson-themed art today. There's a lot of it! Even a painting by Jackson and Macaulay Culkin!

Wade Guyton

Interview magazine has been covering a lot of interesting artists. Here's one -- Wade Guyton -- whose work is both stunning and conceptually intriguing.

Books

There are several books on those (silly, arbitrary, Western-centric) '100 Greatest Books' lists that I own but haven't read. I'm going to try to spend my summer reading more fiction, since my school year consists totally of non-fiction. I'm starting with Ernest Hemingway's 'The Sun Also Rises'. So far, so good.

Alex McLeod

These 3D renderings by Toronto-based Alex McLeod look so fantastically real, and I wish they were. Imagine stepping into a gallery and seeing landscapes like the ones below?

There are tons more on the artist's site. If you're in the Toronto area, be sure to check out Switch Contemporary between 11 June and 5 July for McLeod's first solo exhibition.

Cory Arcangel / Jules Olitski

There's been a debate raging online about Cory Arcangel's Photoshop CS: 72 by 110 inches, 300 DPI, RGB square pixels, default gradient ‘Spectrum’, mousedown y=1416 x=1000, mouse up y=208 x=42 (2009).

Some people love it, some people don't. I happen to like it myself. You can read more about it here, here and here.

The reason I mention it, however, is because Hrag Vartanian used another artist's work to frame Arcangel's, and I'd like to share it.

Here's some work by Jules Olitski. The comparison is spot-on, even more so than the obvious comparison to the colour field paintings of Mark Rothko.

At the Harbourfront Centre, Toronto

A series of vitrines featuring the work of graphic artists including Seth and Adrian Tomine. The work is really effective when it's exhibited in the vitrines--simple and punchy.
