Katy Krantz makes magical collage/painting hybrids. They bring to mind the French Surrealists’ favorite quote: “beautiful as the chance meeting on a dissecting table of a sewing machine and an umbrella”.*

Danish artist Anders Clausen is currently exhibiting an interesting set of collage works at Hotel about the influence of operations systems and interfaces. He is particularly interested in the notion of scrolling which I can easily identify with and would imagine you can too considering the fact you are currently reading a blog.

Collage / illustration work from Jeffrey Meyer. What do you expect some someone who’s URL is “goofbutton”? Awesome.

I am truly a sucker for anything of an absurd nature. I also love the classic style of old propaganda posters. So when I stumbled upon the collages of Miss Grycja Erde, twas a happy moment. The nature of Grycja’s collages made me assume she was an older artist, since they have a mature approach to absurbity (in my opinion). But I was surprised to find out she’s just 23! Enjoy these tasty treats coming to you from Ukraine.

Bobo is an art collective that emerged out of the Providence scene post-Fort Thunder. I really love Bobo’s poster “The Global Order of the Youngbloods,” it’s an overdose of occult and conspiracy infotainment. Bobo has managed to create a fun scene on their own terms. They ran a space in Philadelphia for a while, but now seem to be arranging/curating shows in New York, and performing as a band. Annie Pearlman brought them to my attention when I was doing a studio visit with Brian Belott.

These three pics are from a project where they create brand labels. Bobo then prints out the labels and sticks them to burned and melted piles of garbage.

You can hear Bobo’s musical project on their myspace page. They’ve collaborated with Ryan Trecartin as well.

Bobo is going to be in a group show at Secret Project Robot in Brooklyn that opens March 6th.

My first piece of work using floppy disks as a canvas was an image of a fingerprint. To me, this connected the data world with the human physical form using the theme of identity, albeit in an obvious way. After that I looked at using the disks in a grid to create photo-fits, constructing imaginary faces and identities that could draw connections to the personal information stored on the disks. By chance I found that the metal circular hub on the reverse side of the disk worked well as a metaphor for the human eye…
