best Music Video of 2011.Sprawl by Arcade Fire.

This is my favorite music video of the year. Sprawl by Arcade Fire. Not a very peculiar choice but possibly a very solid one. I love the Art School look & feel, the night photography as in a gregory crewdson series and most of all the amazing Regine finally ruling the scene. Best from the Suburbs, I reckon..

Das Unheimliche

last week iw as at the opening of UNCANNY at Patricia Armocida new space in via Lattanzio, Milan. Both Cheryl Dunn and Alessandro Zuek Simonetti love to document what's going where the streets have a name and their consistent research shapes the paste 3 decades of uncanny dèjà-vu. good stuff, indeed.

Pipilotti for kids

la fondazione trussardi has been able to introduce to the milanese crowd some very unexpected locations for dramatic art shows such as pipilotti rist at the teatro manzoni. here are some pics of the unoduetrestella event designed to explain the grammar of contemporary arts to a crowd of interested and excited young kids.

Attention Ausgang!!!

AAA Anthony And Alexis

Anthony's Ausgang vision of a twisted yet friendly Walt Disney on weed has produced some of the most remarkable artworks of the so called lowbrow Los Angelinos movement. I really thought it's about time to give some credit to this amazing subcultural revenge. Is it fine art? Who cares? some might waste precious time asking the same old and boring questions. Yes it is exciting. indeed. Interesting and challenging vibrant art. Call it pop surrealism, call it mass surrealism- call it as you prefer but get into it. it's never too late!! 

Antonio Colombo organized the show at his gallery where he invited a local rockabilly band but went a bit further this time when he decided to talk to me 1 year ago about Anthony's incoming show.

It took 1 or 2 days to convince La Rinascente to commission the Christmas Windows to Anthony.

I was sure it was going to work. I thought it was going to be superexciting to produce big crazy cats surreal and naughty sculptures for the most important store in Italy. Right in front of the Duomo. Here are some pictures of the working progress and the link to the final looks. 

I started this job while I was at independent ideas but event if I left I wanted to carry on with this particular production and make sure it was going to happen for real. I must say that most of the credit goes to the team that produced such a beautiful result as well as the client itself that believed in it from the very beginning. 

...ladies and gentlemen AAA ATTENTION AUSGANG IS IN THE CITY!...
