Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni and Rafael. Very clever, kudos to you if this is credited to you. Those really aren’t weapons by the way, it’s a ruse, they hold paintbrushes.

Q:Radio: A Music Sharing Platform In Public Space - Repudo is a smartphone app that allows you to leave or pick up ‘treasures’ such as text messages, pictures, videos and generally any digital object around the city. Berlin-based street artist Sweza took this concept a bit further with his street intervention project called QRadio. QRadio is an installation consisting of a real-scale boombox poster that has a QR code in the place where a cassette should be…your phone scans the QR code and ‘transforms’ into a cassette.

Bjork, Modern Things & Art Forum Diary

“BJÖRK GUÐMUNDSDÓTTIR, elfin pop savant and, with the recent release of her multimedia project Biophilia, Iceland’s leading iPad bore, may be a perky charmer, but her team is as chilly as their employer’s home. Asking this aloof trio whether photography was permitted at the singer-songwriter’s Thursday afternoon Armory Show Open Forum Panel with performance artist Ragnar Kjartansson (part of a slew of Scandinavian-focused talks at the fair), I received the decision, delivered with relish: “You know what? No.” Video was verboten too, as were interviews, recording, eating, drinking, impertinence… Oh, and if you didn’t have a white wristband, forget about getting in anyway.

Once inside, of course, everyone snapped blithely away as Björk, Kjartansson, and moderator Markús Thór Andrésson chatted among themselves onstage. The clean-cut guys wore sensible jackets; our heroine rocked a dark red velvet dress with mystic amulet and lime-green veil. In other words: business as usual. The topic was “accumulation and regeneration,” to which a jovially improvising Andrésson added “interaction and repetition and…united nations” before exhorting the assembled to “be in the here and now!” Kicking off by reflecting on her recent experience of performing in a format closer to a theatrical residency than a concert, Björk, rolling her rs magnificently, mourned “the old rrrrrock-’n’-rrrrroller in me” but expressed appreciation for new and more varied audience reactions (perhaps not such a surprising effect when shifting venues from Roseland to the New York Hall of Science).”

Matt Momchilov's 'Seriously Naughty NSFW' Painting of Ronald Reagan

“Recent CCA graduate Matt Momchilov opens a show at Unspeakable Projects (735 Tehama St) here in SF on Thursday, Oct 27th (6-9pm)… Actually, we’ve yet to check out Unspeakable Projects which, according to Google St. view, is a work/ live space near 9th and Howard streets here in SF. Check out a small sample of Matt’s great paintings. Everyone loves Regan! Put your balls on it!!”

Alright, Fine, I’ll Add a Disclaimer to My Emails

“This disclaimer is not unlike the ceaseless blaring of a distant car alarm—a once-sincere warning that has evolved into an unpleasant nuisance, rendered meaningless by its own ubiquity.”

Take Your Band Mobile Russia Rocks - Motorcycle with drum kit is built by Alexander Ishutin, he’s a biker, musician, businessman and collector. He thinks there are very few uncommon things in left in Moscow. He lovingly recalls the 90’s when bizarre modified machines gathered on Vorobiyovy Gory (Sokolnicheskaya Line of the Moscow Metro), a Moscow bikers’ gathering place. Today people just go and buy a big motorcycle and don’t even know how to give it a tune up.
