A consideration of the New Museum’s show “Unmonumental” and the model of the “21st century object” it proposes, a well-networked piece of sculpture too internally diverse and intersected to be constrained by form but also enough of a mobile and autonomous objet to escape the fetters of site and circumstance. An artist’s top ten, a bundle of unique lifestyle choices, a hip playlist or mixed CD, with raw materials mined from thriftstores, Home Depot, used record shops, eBay and the many other databanks that now comprise what was once called everyday life.

The international border between the US and Mexico at the San Diego / Tijuana checkpoint is the most trafficked in the world. Approximately sixty million people cross annually, moving untold amounts of goods and services back and forth. A 60 linear-mile cross section, tangential to the border wall, between these two border cities compresses the most dramatic issues currently challenging our normative notions of architecture and urbanism. This trans border ‘cut’ begins 30 miles North of the border, in the periphery of San Diego and ends 30 miles South of the border. We can find along this section’s trajectory a series of collisions, critical junctures, or conflicts between natural and artificial ecologies, top down development and bottom-up organization. It is in the midst of many of these metropolitan and territorial sites of conflict where contemporary architectural practice needs to reposition itself. In other words, no meaningful intervention can occur in the contemporary city, without first exposing the conditions, political and economic forces (jurisdiction and ownership), that have produced these collisions in the first place. http://www.smac.us/2009/05/06/teddy-cruz/ http://scribecast.s3.amazonaws.com/smac/smac11_teddy-cruz.m4v Thu, 07 May 2009 18:04:10 -0400 Art, Installation no 00:00:00 smac, architecture, alexandra lerman, teddy cruz, mexico, immigration, SWIMMING CITIES OF SWITCHBACK SEA SMAC.us Video covers the project The Swimming Cities designed and organized by printmaker and installation artist Swoon. http://www.smac.us/2009/02/25/swoon/ http://scribecast.s3.amazonaws.com/smac/smac10_swoon_boats.m4v Mon, 20 Apr 2009 15:26:37 -0400 Art, Installation no 00:06:14 swoon, swimming cities of switchback sea, deitch projects, long island city Younger Than Jesus SMAC.us Video includes interviews with “Younger Than Jesus” exhibition cocurators Massimiliano Gioni and Laura Hoptman as well as participating artist Cory Arcangel. http://www.smac.us/2009/04/14/ytj/ http://scribecast.s3.amazonaws.com/smac/smac09_younger-than-jesus.m4v Mon, 20 Apr 2009 12:59:25 -0400 Art no 00:04:39 younger than jesus, new museum, millennials, generation y, igeneration, generation me, lauren cornell, director of rhizome, massimiliano gioni, laura hoptman, cory arcangel, ryan trecartin, kateřina Šedá, Homemade With SANS SMAC.us Despite the fact that they use mostly eco-friendly fabrics like organic cotton, soy and wild silk — SANS does not consider iself an ‘eco’ fashion line.

In fact her creative work reflects the century, with its revolutions and world wars, Utopian hopes and crippling disillusionments. Never one to blindly follow fashion in art, she has been compared with such masters of the 20th century as Constantin Brancusi and Vladimir Tatlin, Hans Arp and Alberto Giacometti, and even Joseph Beuys and Bruce Nauman.

Her work is abstract and figurative, realistic and phantasmagorical, and is made from all manner of material such as wood, marble, bronze, plaster, latex and fabric. Probing themes of universal import, it is also highly autobiographical.

In fact the personal and traumatic is Bourgeois’ most vital material.

]]> Louise Bourgeois' career spans a century and is beyond the confines of modern or even contemporary art. It is beyond any art styles or art movements. Her work simultaneously absorbs and repels all labels art critics so eagerly apply to artists. <p>Louise Bourgeois, who was born in Paris in 1911, worked more than half a century in New York.</p> <p>In fact her creative work reflects the century, with its revolutions and world wars, Utopian hopes and crippling disillusionments.

The artist Swoon brings one of those deaths to New York. To date, over 500 women and girls have been confirmed killed in Juarez, and more an 1000 have disappeared. Most of the victims are young, poor, and have been sexually assaulted prior to their deaths. The local police has been extremely ineffective in solving the 10 year old terror. Earlier this year, during the trip to Juarez, Swoon and Tennessee Jane Watson met Silvia Elena’s mother Ramona Morales. They recorded Ramona’s recount of Silvia’s disappearance, traveled together to Silvia’s grave and brought back photographs of Silvia. http://www.smac.us/2008/06/17/21/ A5421727-1896-4816-9984-207EC0427E17-2305-00000E08B97FAE08-FFA Thu, 17 Jul 2008 14:44:42 -0400 Art no 00:04:02 swoon, honey space, thomas beale, street artist, wheat paste, Portrait of Silvia Elena, Tennessee Jane Watson
