Ice Cream-Headed Birdman Fucking An Antelope


Im not sure what I like more, the title or the actual piece of work. I just love the absurdity and frivolity of this piece by Luke Gottelier.
Totally bizarre !

Apparently Connor says boom




Brilliant paintings by Conor Harrington that combine traditional fine art and street art. I think they speak for themselves really, so enjoy.
Here's his blog ! Ch Ch Check it out !

So I have an interview for an art foundation course on wednesday. But how am I meant to be able to tell someone about myself when I don't even know who I am ?

Lady Bird Sex

When Vice magazine unleashed hibernating lady bugs into their studio an orgy broke out (as apparently when unleashed from their hibernation they are extremely horny). Apparently the studios were overwhelmed by the smell of ladybird sex.
However this was totally worth it as the resulting shots are brilliant !

Sous-Vetements


This film by Alexis Mabille could be beautiful because it captures the vulnerable moment between nightmares and dreams, sleep and consciousness. 


Or it could be because there is a mans naked torso invovled in it. I'm not sure . . .

provocative MILK

Australian Photographer Lukas Gansterer's new exhibition makes milk provocative.
Heres a few quotes from an interview for Dazed and Confused magazine explaining his work.


Dazed Digital: How do you explore 'milk' in your new exhibition?Lukas Gansterer: My main finding was that milk smells really sour after half an hour (laughs). Actually, the exhibition shows a girl playing with milk and the gallery space will be covered in polythene sheets, which are also used in porn movies. When I started to work on this topic, I recognised that images become really progressive and bold if they show milk, especially on a female body.

DD: How did the idea of using milk first inspire you?Lukas Gansterer: I saw a girl drinking milk. That was enough inspiration.

DD: What role does porn play in your work? What is it about that appeals to you as 'art'?Lukas Gansterer: Provocation has always been a theme of my work. Over the last two years "porn aesthetics" have started to play a more important role. I have never really been concerned with photography in relation to art. To refer to a photo as a piece of art doesn’t necessarily make it better. I want to take strong pictures. The viewer should start to think about the moment and situation I have captured, not about the issue of whether it is art or not.
