This weeks Sunday Video is an animation by Alexandra Kuechenberg made in After Effects.
"I find it very interesting to play with 2d images in a virtual 3d environment." Says Kuechenberg. "I want to continue
to explore the place where “fabricated” dimension meets “physical” dimension. I would like to project this
animation into a ceiling corner of a room where 3 planes meet."
If you have any kind of epilepsy, suffer from migraines or are prone to spontaneous human combustion or frivolous
law suits please do not watch this video.

Jet Set Saturdays: Sleigh Run at Miami Art Space
Saturday, December 19, 2009
http://www.artlurker.com/2009/12/jet-set-saturdays-sleigh-run-at-miami-art-space/
Justin H. Long and Meatball's X-Mas Seligh Run as seen by would-be Santas.
In keeping with our coverage of holiday high jinks that began last Saturday evening with Spinello Gallery's toy
drive, last night we went to the Miami New Times Christmas Party at Miami Art Space (MAS) where Justin Long
and Meatball had orchestrated a sleigh run.
For many people, including ourselves, the ride (sans neige) was the only reason to attend. Its not that the party
itself was bad, the food despite looking a little like snot was actually very tasty, but the sleigh run was by far the
most animated and captivating feature of the evening - apart from maybe the gyrations of the Blue Moon and Red
Bull girls, although admittedly we didn't linger inside longer than to grab a drink (Velvet Elvis or something) and left
early.

Dashing through the snow.
For those that haven’t yet had the pleasure, Long, Meatball, and associated goons have become the
quintessential accompaniment to any vaguely artsy event in Miami. Far and above mere spectacle, their many
contraptions and themed rides, borne of insuppressible wit and a desire to exact with mechanical dexterity a playful
equilibrium in the arts, are novel for more reasons than the obvious. While all many might derive is a mindless
excuse to 'hoot,' the group are elegantly filling a hitherto unnoticed hole in the universe and ironically, regardless of
how chaotic their creations might be, they provide unexpected harmony through incongruity.

ARTLURKER
Silhouetted, the iconic image of Santa against the moon gets an ET style makeover.
Long and Meatball's ability to unwittingly become the center of attention, regardless of the event or their intention to
simply provide a peripheral escape, exemplifies their practice; an as yet unclassified animal evolving here in the
swamp; perhaps the illegitimate spawn of Bert Rodriguez' "Service Aesthetics" and the Avant Garde.
Much like how Chris Burden and Vito Acconci came to epitomize a masochistic branch of performance art, Long
and Meatball, their names alone adequate to spearhead a movement, are creating with their cavorting subculture
appropriations an anthology of outwardly machismo yet softhearted and essentially harmless experiential
deathtraps. Incorporating bikes, ramps, revolving platforms and an innate love of mechanics to educe from
everyday instruments a diverse range of bastardized paraphernalia, their oeuvre, sort of Death Race 2000 meets
Noddy in Toyland, never fails to amuse the crowds to the point of distraction whilst simultaneously providing a
steadily awesome back drop to Miami's fecund arts community.

Bridging all age and culture boundaries, though failing to impress inflatable flamingos, the ride (sober or not) was a big hit.
“You never know what they will do” said one onlooker “but they always make you laugh your ass off.”
page 5 / 40
ARTLURKER
Mindful of the urgency to deliver all presents before sunrise, Rudolph picks up the pace. Whoosh.
For the most part, Long stood by grinning through a dirty gray Santa beard as Meatball, wearing brown tights, an
alpaca cardigan, and a rubber horses head accessorized with an antlers towed party goers around at various
speeds, working himself into a festive sweat.

Imagine that nibbling on your carrot!

ARTLURKER
There's really not much else to say about the event other than that despite Meatball’s lack of a bright red nose, the
ride was a shining, guiding light. More please!

Jet Set Saturdays: Lead Apron Bookstore and Gallery
http://www.artlurker.com/2009/12/jet-set-saturdays-lead-apron-bookstore-and-gallery/
Steven Shearer, Mustang. Photo laminate and acrylic on canvas, 68 1/4 x 96 1/4 in. Photo: Allison Stewart.
I have a confession to make: I love love love Helmut Newton – the big boobs, long legs, and diamonds – ooh la- la!
The aesthetic Newton cultivated, one of chic luxury melded with austere voyeurism, is alive at Lead Apron in West
Hollywood. For Lead Apron the collector is front and center. Objects such as rare and collectible art books sit
juxtaposed by Lichtenstein ceramics and African spirit masks. However, the Lead Apron bookstore is only half of
the story. Owner Jonathan Schilder Brown has opened a new sister space across the street for the private viewing
of artwork. The spaces are situated across from one another on Melrose Place right in the heart of the WeHo arts
district, comfortably positioned near Paul Kopeikin, Regen Projects and Chlöe.

ARTLURKER
Private gallery space.
For the gallery’s grand opening, Brown invited Patrick Painter gallery director Michael Briggs to curate the group
show, Geography of the Imagination, in the bookstore’s private viewing space. Briggs is as casually elegant as the
space itself. He looks like a handsome former Ralph Lauren model, rugged and blond. His familiarity with German
painting has this gallerina contemplating the connections between Kitsch, Pop, and German Expressionism in a
way that suddenly brings the work of enigmatic Andre Butzer into focus. The gallery space is flawless in its
presentation, with stunning lighting and gorgeous ceilings. And the arena provides an airy backdrop to a gorgeous
Bara painting, Abstraktion 17, as well as an edgy image by Steven Shearer entitled Mustang.
Bara, Abstraktion 17, 2009. Oil on canvas, 72 x 96 in.
Lead Apron’s moniker seems a code of sorts for the requisite thing an artist or artisan might wear, the requisite
apron. This Jet Setter (final confession) is looking for a frilly little one to wear with my French maid uniform, which I
suspect that Lead Apron would be happy to expose to me at any time. So, go ahead. Turn the handle and get
intimate with their collection. After all, art and books are private and privileged objects, and these appointment-only
spaces are both.
Lead Apron is located at 8454 Melrose Place, Los Angeles, CA. The gallery is open by appointment only.

Friday's Hairy Eyeball; getting rolling again like Sisyphus' boulder.
The Swiss Institute has photographed artists such as Rita Ackermann, David Byrne, Ryan McGinley, Aurel
Schmidt, Terry Richardson and Cindy Sherman on their bikes in New York for their annual, limited-edition calender.
"All the artists are photographed on their bikes, although clearly some of the artsy pedal-pushers are more
gangster than others—Ryan McGinley (October), for example, has no trouble dodging rogue cabbages in
Chinatown, even with midnight black Ray-Bans on, while Terry Richardson (August) looks like he’s never quite
made it out the door of his SoHo loft with his shiny collection of fixed gears." [via The Fader]
A preview of Anthony Gormley's Event Horizon, 31 nude sculptures cast from his own body planned for permanent
installation in and around Madison Square Park in March 2010. [via ArtInfo and NY Times]
More New York springime unveiling: beginning May 2010 the former International Business Machines Corp.
building, now known as 590 Madison Avenue, will host a hanging sculpture by Conrad Shawcross who exhibited at
Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin last year and whose debut show in 2003 was bought, almost entirely, by Charles
Saatchi. [via Bloomberg]
Super Mario Clouds by Cory Arcangel via YouTube
New York based computer artist, Cory Arcangel will curate an exhibition at London’s Lisson Gallery. In this
interview with The Guardian, Arcangel speaks with gaming experts about his career and the lure of games as an
artistic medium. [via The Guardian]
During Art Basel Miami Beach, The New York Times took an opportunity to review some of Manhattan’s 'best'
galleries in their Special Gallery Issue. [via NYTimes]
More ABMB boycotting was done by Art Forum this year as while the rest of the art world headed to Miami, the
magazine's Caroline Busta went to Tbilisi, Georgia (the country) for the sixth annual Tbilisi exhibition – ‘TBILISI 6:
Never on Sunday.” [via ArtForum]
Locally focused now, Something Big Something Small, a series of short videos created during Art Basel Miami
Beach by the New York Times features artist Agathe Snow, a downtown artist and contemporary of Ryan McGinley
and Dash Snow, who in addition to exhibiting at the convention center with James Fuentes Gallery built a skate
ramp at O.H.W.O.W. [via NYTimes]
Curators Francesco Bonami and Gary Carrion-Murayari announce the artist list for the Whitney Biennial. Video credit.
While ArtObserved reports via NY Magazine that 52% of the artists selected to participate in the 2010 Whitney
Biennial are women – the highest ever – and via The New York Times that the show will be smaller than it has
been in recent years – just 55 artists, down from 81 in 2008 and 100 in 2006 – we are mainly struck by how old
everyone is.
275,000 visited the Anish Kapoor exhibit at the Royal Academy of Art, making it the most successful exhibition of a
living artist in London. [via The Guardian]
BBC’s art reality TV show, School of Saatchi has a winner in the form of Eugenie Scrase who bested the other four
finalists with an art work featuring a large tree trunk impaled on a fence. The 20-year-old wins an appearance in
Saatchi’s current show at The Hermitage in St. Petersburg and studio space for three years. [via BBC News]
James Franco interviews performance artist Marina Abramovic. Video credit.
James Franco meets with artist Marina Abramovic – whom he hails as “the grandmother of performance art” – to
discuss her work after his musings in The Wall Street Journal about the history of performance art and his
20-episode stunt in the soap opera “General Hospital” as an art piece. [via ArtObserved]

Operation Boycott Basel
Tuesday, December 15, 2009
http://www.artlurker.com/2009/12/operation-boycott-basel/
Unused invitations, discarded.
Art Basel Miami Beach is considered to be the world’s largest art event and Artlurker (not to toot our own horn) is
considered to be Miami’s most prolific art publication. In contradiction to a function of Artlurker as a resource to
find out what to do to and where to go, and in contrast to Art Basel Miami Beach 2008 when we posted no less
than 4 times a day, this year, spurred by a general disdain for consumerism and well-to-do out-of-towners cavorting
like pigs in a stunning display of wasteful opulence that has little to do with culture, Artlurker writers Tom and Victor
made a pact with each other to see as little as possible. Unavoidably, due to prior commitments, it was impossible
for either to see nothing, nevertheless, their tangible dissent gave rise to Operation Boycott Basel, a competition
positioned to test who could see the least whilst still functioning as a reputable arts journalist.
Everyday, each awoke with the intention of seeing nothing, absolutely nothing. Turning down invitations, avoiding
crowds and busying themselves with watching reruns of Lost and Jersey Shore, Tom and Victor spent the majority
of their time eloping with tourists, committing themselves to work for shows they could not leave, and longing for
the sweet comfort of a deserted island in the south pacific, or the bustling excitement of a summer on the Jersey
Shore, pumping fists and drinking Jägerbombs with “Snooky.”
page 16 / 40
ARTLURKER
In entering into this competition they risked not only their reputations, but also the respect of many who have come
to look upon the fair and its associated events with ardor. However, bravely inviting the choleric vexations of those
who might spring to Miami’s defense, they embarked with righteous indignation upon what would likely sound the
death knell of their short but illustrious careers.

While both under viewed America’s most important art happening way more than either reasonably should, only
Tom succeeded in avoiding Miami Beach altogether!
Because the fair has been good for Miami, this exercise might seem like an arrogant slap in the face of progress,
however, the pair wish to make it clear that they do not hate Art Basel Miami Beach, nor want it to go away, they
page 18 / 40
ARTLURKER
just totally resent the assumption that they should care about it.
Happily, going out with no sort of expectation to see anything actually made Basel week - typically a stressful gnarl
of networking and taxi rides - easier to swallow, and in the end a more much more enjoyable and rewarding
experience as the impossibility of attending every event was already quantified.
Although each ultimately failed to 'Boycott Basel' altogether neither regrets seeing what they did. Art Basel Miami
Beach is known for great art parties, and this year certainly didn’t disappoint, as far as art goes however, they're
not really in a position to comment[.]

The Sunday Video: Coming Soon - The Beastiality-Rights movie
Sunday, December 13, 2009
http://www.artlurker.com/2009/12/the-sunday-video-coming-soon-the-beastiality-rights-movie/
This week's Sunday Video commemorates yesterday's U.S. premier of one of the most controversial films of all
time, 'COMING SOON.' Having already made history by sparking a Bestiality-Rights revolution in Europe the film,
which is only just gracing our shores, is quickly becoming an underground classic.
We're not even sure with what words to use to describe this film. It has everything from Arabs complaining about
having 47cm long penises and how that forces them to get animal pussy, to a butcher talking about the time he
realized that a pig he was about to slaughter had the soul of his dead wife so they instead of killing it he took it
home to start a zoo relationship. And lets not forget the actual footage (yikes) of a group of neo-Nazis attacking a
woman in her home, tying her up, killing the bull she had relations with and rubbing pieces of it's raw bloody meat
over her body.
The movie is arguably defensible as it addresses the concept of beastiality more than beastiality itself it, which is
kind of intriguing, but at the end of the day it is unavoidably just about a some honest-to-god freaks, like a guy who
wishes to be a satyr and so wears goat horns everywhere he goes to a porn actress who was raised in a
monastery to a would-be serial killer who speaks about the meat industry like the Nazi concentration camps and
likes yelling a lot.
Synopsis: "Born in the depths of the European underground, and brought to life by American Director, Sir Tijn
Po, this award-winning feature debut has been drawing accolades from a slew of international thinkers, audiences
and critics alike. By following the trials and tribulations of E.F.A., the world's first Bestiality-Rights organization,
'COMING SOON' explores the ever-evolving boundaries of love, tolerance, sexuality, tradition, etc. Inspired
by Nietzsche, Svankmajer and Pasolini, 'COMING SOON' presents a challenging journey for the experimental
mind."
Whatever anyone says, we can't persuade ourselves that the quazi-ethical mantras touted in defense of and by
people who have relations with animals do little more than to call to attention, once again, how lost we have
become in our quest for enlightenment. Like teenagers on the tail end of an acid binge when the overbearing yet
practicably unrealistic truths just discovered mesh for fleeting moments with the regimented fiber of known reality
causing waves of self affirmation, these individuals, publicly falling from their imagined grace to the depths of
conceived debauchery, evidence one of the many dangers inherent in a commanding human trait, conviction.

"Hilarious and disturbing... entertains while raising deep questions!" -- Peter Singer - World-Renowned Philosopher,

Jet Set Saturdays: Toys for Tots X-Mas Party at Spinello Gallery
http://www.artlurker.com/2009/12/jet-set-saturdays-toys-for-tots-x-mas-party-at-spinello-gallery/
Installation view through the Min Treats cookie machine.
A week after Art Basel Miami Beach and not quite ready to immerse ourselves in New York we visited Spinello
Gallery for the Toys for Tots X-Mas Party, a toy drive to benefit needy children in Miami this Christmas.
In contrast to the placement of works (mainly leftovers from the Littlest Sister exhibition) that were scattered about
the space, the gallery's central feature, a giant Christmas tree ($200), was ceremoniously lit at 8pm sharp. Under it,
amidst piles of shredded newspaper, the unwrapped, donated toys steadily grew in number.
page 22 / 40
ARTLURKER
Spinello discussing mystery car with youngster over White Russian cocktail.
Refreshingly hap hazard, but not without the effortless elegance we have come to expect from Spinello, the event,
which all in attendance look forward to next year, was (and is for a few more hours still) a festive success. In
addition to the donated toys, many people associated with the gallery also brought something to sell, the proceeds
of which, apart from art works, will go directly to charity.
White Russians and Grolsch were on tap to wash down the copious cup cakes, Tater Tats, and mini Min Treats
cookies, and to lubricate the various constitutions of costumed revelers, most of which after a few drinks took the
plunge and did their time on Santa's lap.

abandon.

Degenerative states: Visitors begin attacking each other with pompoms of shredded newspaper as gallery artist Christina Pettersson
ungraciously straddles her dealer.
Photographs from the event will soon be up on the galleries photo bucket page (check back with us in a day or so
for the link), but for now, with a warm, fuzzy, and somehow wholesomely sullied feeling in our bellies (no doubt
Spinello's creeping spirit of Christmas!) we give thanks to a gallery that provided us with an opportunity to feel good
about ourselves for doing something, which although just a token gesture, in troubled times encapsulated the
humble essence of peace and goodwill among men. Thanks Spinello Santa, you're ace!

Jet Set Saturdays: Bale Creek Allen and James Hill at Solway
Jones
http://www.artlurker.com/2009/12/jet-set-saturdays-bale-creek-allen-and-james-hill-at-solway-jones/
Bale Creek Allen. Brown Tumbleweed #30, 2009. Unique cast bronze and hand welded with bronze with patina. 32 x 34 x 32 inches.
"By a fountain back in Rome?I fell in love with you?In a small cafe in Athens?You said you loved me too. And it
was April in Paris when I first held you close to me. Rome, Georgia Athens, Texas?and Paris, Tennessee. No we're
not the jet set. ?We're the old Chevrolet set. ?There's no Riviera?in Festus, Missouri. And you won't find Onasis?in
Mullinville, Kansas. ?No, we're not the jet set. ?We're the old Chevrolet set.
But ain't we got love?”
- - Tammy Wynette & George Jones? (Bobby Braddock)
The Bale Creek Allen sculptures at Solway Jones remind this Jet-Setter of why Texans are just so much bigger
than life. Allen’s remarkable show has just enough grace and hee-haw to position his work in the same class as
page 27 / 40
ARTLURKER
Rosson Crowe’s paintings. The sculptures that dominate the show are bronze tumbleweeds - yes, actual
tumbleweeds folks! - each branch delicately welded and coated in nickel, 18 karat-gold or sterling silver. These
elegant sculptures sit casually cocksure in their off-kilter glory; their forms so deliberately realistic that they hover
just above the surface of normalcy like moissanite or fool’s gold. The only real giveaway that these are sculptures
– opposed to the real thing – is the temperature of the metal. Touching one of his pieces is as exciting as petting in
the back of a classic car on a deserted highway deep in the heart of Texas (without the requisite shotgun and beer,
of course) and not just because one typically shouldn’t get physical with work. Just as alluring are Allen’s cast tire
treads and sculptures of gold-dipped link chains with tire treads attached. These are the Texas version of ghetto
fabulosity, their links the size of one’s palm.

ARTLURKER
page 29 / 40
ARTLURKER
Bale Creek Allen. Traditional Gator Tread, 2005. Unique cast bronze gator tread. 10 x 72 x 3 inches.
Musician and artist David Byrne, who has known Allen for 20 years, stated, “…not only does Bale see his life made
of fiddles, ice cream, tire treads, and tumbleweeds, but he accepts that, loves it, and has found a way to use and
combine those materials.”
James Hill. Some of Everywhere, 2009. Ink on aluminum. 24 x 40 inches.
Balancing Allen’s negotiation of his rugged constitution and precise construction are James Hill’s collages on
aluminum, a process that provides an appropriately post-modern backdrop to Allen’s romantic sculptural forms.
Hill’s photo process, with its revealing half tones and accidental juxtaposing of images is a sort of mash-up of Man
Ray and Andy Warhol. His pieces, printed on supports similar to freeway signs, operate as markers without
destinations leading one down that “lost highway” or perhaps “drifting a long like a tumbling tumbleweed.”
So much for mixing metaphors along with my Texas Tea; this writer is off to find her own Rhinestone Cowboy at the
Pasadena Jewelry Mart. Yee Haw!
Bale Creek Allen and James Hill is on view at Solway Jones until January 10th, 2010 at 990 N. Hill Street #180, Los
Angeles, CA 90012. For more information please visit www.solwayjonesgallery.com

As you know, we don't typically make a habit of running announcements on ARTLURKER, especially for free, but
on this occasion we were inclined to make an exception. Why you ask? Well, its for the kids of course.

unwrap on Christmas morning (or Noche buena) Spinello Gallery (155 NE 38th Street, No. 101) is hosting the Toys

ARTLURKER
Gallery says: "PLEASE SUPPORT TOYS FOR TOTS BY BRINGING AN UNWRAPPED TOY: The mission of the
Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and
distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.
In addition to the toy drive, the gallery will celebrate the lighting of its first Christmas tree at 8pm, an event that
gallery owner Anthony Spinello hopes to make an annual feature of the gallery's programming. And if all this wasn't
enough to warm your cockles with jolly goodwill, Spinello himself will be dressing as Santa and offering mall-style
photos to anyone who dares to grace his lap and share the secrets of their festive desires.
The event will be catered, specifically Eggnog, milk and Min Treats Cookies, healthy homemade oatmeal cookies
made with organic and natural ingredients. They increase your metabolism, lower your cholesterol, are low in
sugar, high in anti-oxidants, and fully loaded! Order some today: [email protected] / 305 710 7228
