Pretty cool little ‘trailer’ for the Milstein Division of the New York Public Library, created by our friends at Illustrated Radio. Jon helped out on the shoot, and a bit of his music and sound editing ended up in there as well… fun stuff!
nypl:
History has secrets - and you can unlock them at the Library. That’s the theme of this pretty darn amazing new “suspense trailer” highlighting our incredible Milstein Division of United States History, Local History and Genealogy (which is often featured on the show “Who Do You Think You Are?” and can be used to trace family histories). Just watch it - it’s awesome.
Our friends Colin & Shanai at Works Progress recently put out this beautiful film as part of the McKnight foundation’s 30-year-anniversary “State of the Artist” project:
When we set out on our State of the Artist Documentary Project, working with some of the McKnight Artist Fellows of the past 30 years, we immediately saw a chance to satisfy our own curiosity about Bill Cottman and his family. We’d met Bill, his wife Beverly, and their daughter Kenna last year when they performed an autobiographical piece under the name The Ways Ensemble at a Give & Take event we organized in North Minneapolis. We were immediately struck by their story.
Take a moment to watch it, and read more about it on the State of the Artist blog.

Pina Bausch’s “Rite of Spring” (1975), as referenced in “Wim Wenders’ Pina and the Rhythm of Loss”, by Jennifer Piejko.
You can also find more of her work on good ‘ol Ubuweb, including Café Müller (also referenced in Pina, as well as Pedro Almadóvar’s Hable con ella/Talk to her).
We scoped out these map paintings by Paula Scher during a field trip to Chelsea galleries this past Saturday morning. Pretty rad.

UbuWeb’s Kenneth Goldsmith experiments with splicing Shakespeare’s portrait with the bard’s digitized complete works.
Chris Burden’s Beam Drop at the Brazillian Inhotim Instituto de Arte Contemporânea e Jardim Botânico, as documented by Pablo Lobato.
From the (Google) translated Portuguese on this listing, with some guesswork:
[This] video documents the performance made by the artist Chris Burden [at the Inhotim Institute of Contemporary Art and Botanical Gardens], which resulted in the work Inhotim Beam Drop (2008). Directed by Pablo Lobato, the video was produced [for] the Web.
Beam Drop (2008) is a large-format sculpture — located on top of a mountain — made of 71 construction beams thrown by a crane from a height of 45 meters into a ditch full of wet cement during a period of 12 hours. The random pattern of fallen beams formed the work, an interpretation of the gestures of abstract expressionism, while proposing a deconstruction of modern sculpture. This piece is the recreation in larger format of a work originally installed in 1984 at the Art Park in the State of New York, and destroyed in 1987.
