Blues for Smoke

Blues for Smoke is a large-scale thematic exhibition explor-

ing ideas and forms of the Blues in contemporary art.

Including works in a variety of media by approximately

fifty artists from the 1960s to the present, the exhibition

seeks to understand the Blues as a visual and conceptual,

rather than simply musical, idiom that has informed mul-

tiple generations of artists, and argues for the centrality of

a Black cultural aesthetic to the narratives of modern and

postmodern art. www.whitney.org

Through April 28

Drawing Surrealism

Bringing together more than 160 works on paper by such iconic artists as Salvador Dalí,

Max Ernst, Leonora Carrington, and Joan Miró, this is the first major exhibition to explore

the central role of drawing in surrealism, one of the most important movements in twenti-

eth-century art. Once considered a minor medium, drawing became a predominant means

of expression and innovation among surrealist artists in the first half of the twentieth cen-

tury. www.themorgan.org

Through April 21

Zarina: Paper Like Skin

This retrospective of Indian-born American artist Zarina Hashmi

is the first major exploration of the artist’s career, charting a

developmental arc from her work in the 1960s to the present

and includes many seminal works from the late 1960s and early

1970s, woodblock prints, etchings and lithographs, and a small

selection of related sculptures in bronze and cast paper. www.

metmuseum.org

Through April 21

Applied Design

There are still people who think that design is just about making

things, people, and places pretty. In truth, a designer today can

choose to focus on interactions, interfaces, the Internet, visu-

alizations, socially minded infrastructures and products, 5-D

spaces, bioengineering, sustainability, video games, critical sce-

narios, and yes, even furniture. www.moma.org

Henri Labrouste: Structure Brought to Light

Henri Labrouste: Structure Brought to Light, the first solo exhi-

bition of Labrouste’s work in the United States, highlights his

work as a key milestone in the modern evolution of modern

architecture, libraries in particular. Over 200 works, from original

drawings to vintage and modern photographs, films, and archi-

tectural models illustrate the power of his works, the uniqueness

of their decorative details and the prominence he gave to new

materials, in particular to iron and cast iron. www.moma.org

Through June 24

Piero della Francesca in America

Revered in his own time as a “monarch” of painting, Piero della

Francesca is acknowledged today as a founding figure of the

Italian Renaissance. The Frick Collection is presenting the first

monographic exhibition in the United States on the artist,

bringing together seven works, including six panels from the

Sant’Agostino altarpiece. These are joined by the Virgin and Child

Enthroned with Four Angels, Piero’s only intact altarpiece in this

country. www.frick.org

Through May 19

NYC 1993: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star

Centering on 1993, the exhibition is conceived as a time capsule, an experiment in collec-

tive memory that attempts to capture a specific moment at the intersection of art, pop

culture, and politics. The social and economic landscape of the early ’90s was a cultural

turning point both nationally and globally. Exhibiting are a range of iconic and lesser-

known artworks that serve as artifacts from a pivotal moment. www.newmuseum.org

Through May 26

Bill Brandt: Shadow and Light

Bill Brandt is a founding figure in photography’s modernist

traditions. Brandt’s distinctive vision—his ability to pres-

ent the mundane world as fresh and strange—emerged in

London in the 1930s, and drew from his time in the Paris

studio of Man Ray. His visual explorations of the society,

landscape, and literature of England are indispensable to any

understanding of photographic history. www.moma.org

The Best Pencil Sharpener?

Could this be the best pencil sharpener? Makes long pencil point in 2 steps, extra-long

extra-smooth tip. An automatic brake prevents oversharpening. It includes two spare

blades and two lead pointers for 2mm and 3.2mm lead holders, flexible blades use dynamic

torsion action to reduce pencil tip breakage. The first step is sharpening the wood casing

first, then sharpening the pencil lead, in two separate precision profile holes.

Also available on Amazon under the brand name KUM AS2

Will 3D Printing Change the World?

Much attention has been paid to 3D Printing lately, with new companies developing

cheaper and more efficient consumer models that have wowed the tech community. They

herald 3D Printing as a revolutionary and disruptive technology, but how will these printers

truly affect our society?

¶ Beyond an initial novelty, 3D Printing could have a game-changing impact on consumer

Floating School: by NLÉ

With climate change, NLÉ archi-

tects have been working on a

plan for the waterfront neigh-

borhood of Makoko, Nigeria.

The Makoko Floating School

is constructed with a parallel

series of timber A-frames on a

platform supported by emptied

blue barrels. the three-storey

structure contains classrooms

on the middle level in enclosed

volumes flanked by public

green space and playground below, and an additional open-air rooftop classroom above.

rooftop PV cells on the roof collect solar energy, coupled with water catchment systems

make the dynamic educational facility partially self sustainable. slender wooden slats

create a shading device along the outer envelope along with well ventilated spaces to

maintain a comfortable interior environment.

Increasing Value: Lauren Vanessa Tickle

Lauren Vanessa Tickle's jewelry is an experiment in the concepts of value and adornment.

The Values Exploration process takes currency of defined value, distills it to graphic ele-

Titanic II

In April 2012 Professor Clive Palmer announced to the world his intention to reconstruct

Titanic. The new ship named Titanic II will be every bit as luxurious as the original.

It is through the rebuilding of the ship Professor Palmer wants to recognize the artists and

artisans whose skill, creativity and dexterity has never to this day been fully acknowledged

because of the ship’s limited service.

¶ Construction of the ship will take place at CSC Jinling Shipyard in China with her maiden

voyage from Southampton to New York in 2016.

3D Hirgana

Hiragana is one of three writing systems of the Japanese language.

It can be quite difficult to learn as you not only have to remember

Birthdate: 2/281 FAVORITE COLOR?

Black2 WHAT DO YOU LISTEN TO WHILE

WORKING?

All manner of different things,

from Grime to Aqua Funk to

Obscure movie soundtracks

to African music to Dub to

Synthwave to 8-bit music to

the endless repetitive squawk-

ing of a car-alarm outside of

my window.3 PERSON WHO HAD THE MOST

INFLUENCE ON YOU?

Unfortunately that’s probably

my parents. What did Phillip

Larkin write about one’s par-

ents in This Be The Verse?

4 FAVORITE MEDIUM AND SURFACE?

I like a felt-tip pen, it could

be any brand, but a Sharpie

or Pentel Sign Pen on a clean,

white, virginal piece of paper.5 WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE ARTIST OR

ILLUSTRATOR?

At the moment it’s Saul

Steinberg. Tomorrow it might

be someone else. It’s not good

to stick to anyone hero at a

time. 6 HOW DO YOU START YOUR DAY?

With a sense of foreboding and

despair. 7 FAVORITE ART DIRECTOR OR

DESIGNER?

I don’t really know any art

directors well enough to have

a top 5 let alone a favourite.

Designer-wise I like the

people at Karlssonwilker.8 IF YOU WEREN'T AN ILLUSTRATOR

WHAT WOULD YOU BE DOING?

Working a dead-end job, sob-

bing meekly into a pillow9 LAST BOOK READ?

IQ84 by Haruki Murakami.

Currently giving Melville’s

Moby-Dick a go.bl FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME?

One of my favorites is Vincent

Gallo’s Buffalo ’66, but of all

time? I hope I’ve not seen my

favourite movie of all time yet.bm WHAT DO YOU COLLECT?

Photographs of women using a

laptop whilst lying down.

FREE TIME?

I’ve got horribly into play-

ing FIFA Soccer on the Xbox.

quite likely I’ll never fulfill

my ambition of being a pro-

I also play in my band

Anxieteam (www.anxieteam.

understandably adept at capturing what is there to be photographed: the solid, the con-

crete, that which can be seen. Another tradition exists, however; a parallel tradition in

Faking It: Manipulated Photography before Photoshopby mia fineman

By tracing the history of manipulated photography from the

earliest days of the medium to the release of Photoshop 1.0 in

1990, Mia Fineman offers a corrective to the dominant narrative

of photography’s development, in which champions of photo-

graphic “purity,” such as Paul Strand, Edward Weston, and Henri

Cartier-Bresson, get all the glory, while devotees of manipula-

tion, including Henry Peach Robinson, Edward Steichen and

John Heartfield, are treated as conspicuous anomalies.
