In 1999 Ai Records released it’s first ever record: Experiments in Colour. To celebrate ten years of music making, Ai Records will be releasing a limited edition of 200 picture discs featuring a handful of Ai artists, remixing their favorite track from the original Experiments in Colour EP. The picture disk artwork was specially created by Dalek. Each track is encapsulated in its own design, offering a truly beautiful and unique piece of work.

Paul Kasmin Gallery is host to a new exhibition of Navarro’s new sculpture “Die,” (2009). Iván Navarro’s work, constructed mainly out of fluorescent tubing and electrical materials, transmits social and political commentary in a functional, complex and visually stunning sculptural format.
“Die” (2009) is the second of Navarro’s sculptures to respond to the American sculptor Tony Smith’s famous six-foot steel cube, “Die” (1962). Smith’s sculpture was designed to match human scale; he claimed that anything larger would be a monument and anything smaller an object. In 2006, Navarro made a twelve-foot black cube titled “Die Again (Monument for Tony Smith).” From the outside, “Die Again” is a massive black cube made of steel and plywood. A door-like entrance on the surface invites the viewer to enter the structure, whose interior is filled with lights, mirrors and sound.
“Die” (2009) is a four-foot plywood black cube. In accordance with Smith’s statement, it appears as more of an object. Although the piece is hollow, its mirrored inside allows viewers to look down through a virtual space that extends beyond the actual material boundaries of the cube and into an illusory hole plunging deep into the earth. This spatial effect is produced by a neon light that is installed between a mirror on the floor and a one-way mirror on the top of the cube

Shepard “OBEY” Fairey has been selected to create the official artwork for the 2010 GRAMMY Awards. The commissioned piece will grace the cover of the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards program book, telecast tickets, promotional poster, and 2010 GRAMMY Nominees CD. I think it’s one of the cooless posters the GRAMMY Awards have had.
While in Miami for Art Basel Miami we also checked out “Cars and Money: New Works by David Lachapelle”, an exhibition that is currently being shown at Wolfgang Roth and Partners Fine Art.
