Meet Venetian street art provocateur Evyrein, “one of the few street artists to carve out a niche for himself in this Medieval city where fine art, particularly of the Renaissance and Baroque periods, is the enduring currency.” Of his “Jean-Michel Manson” logo, “Evyrein said he hoped the combination of Basquiat’s urban art genius and Manson’s madness would be both a provocation and a challenge to the art establishment.” Story in UP Magazine, https://bit.ly/3WbovxA

Read my review of the installation Single's Mixer, by Mike Kelley, with photography by Jamie Lubetkin in Artefuse. https://bit.ly/4aR3BI2 The exhibition is on view now through July 29, at The Brant Foundation, 421 East 6th Street. "Singles Mixer is a terrifying three-channel video drama in which five girls discuss their dream men. In doing so, they reveal themselves as small-minded American adolescents, siloed in their diversity, antagonistic toward the ideas and beliefs of others, and set stubbornly in their pathetic dedication to celebrity icons."
