Welcome to Brooklyn, the land of studios, galleries, and more fancy cocktails than you can shake a stick at. Braving this teeming culture can be a little overwhelming, so let me introduce you to your two new best friends: Pernod Absinthe Superieure, creator of art history’s most inspirational spirit, and WAGMAG, the Brooklyn art guide. The two have teamed up to bring you the mobile app of the millenium.

This app features WAGMAG’S monthly gallery and events listings, as well as the best cocktail lounges in the arty-party nabe of Williamsburg. The app features GPS mapping guiding you to the nearest art-and-drinks hot spots, and Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare integration so you can know who is where and what’s happening – right now.

The Art & Absinthe Guide to Brooklyn has just been improved to offer an even better user experience, with easier navigation and more geo-location capabilities.

Do you like that Five Guys hamburger because it tastes good? Perhaps it’s simply that you prefer one style of cooking to another.

Molecular Cuisine: The Politics of Taste, a conference taking place October 19-21 at the School of Visual Arts (SVA) will explore these ideas and discuss how taste is formed. As they see it, Taste is not only an important part of the culinary arts, but also art history and theory, sociology, anthropology, as well as the cognitive, material, and biological sciences.

Scott Campbell & Chances With Wolves: Keeping Current with the Past

by Paddy Johnson on October 12, 2012

I relate to Scott Campbell. He started tattooing because he wanted to avoid getting a job at all costs. I started Art Fag City, because I’d been fired from so many gallery jobs I couldn’t bear the thought of taking another. I didn’t want to do anything but blog all day, Campbell didn’t want to do anything but draw pictures all day.

And so, that’s what Campbell does. In the latest issue of Avant Garde Diaries, we see him making reliefs out of printed dollar bills and incredibly detailed tattoos as he discusses what makes his studio run. In his case, music informs the mood and energy of his work, so he talks about Chances with Wolves, a well known New York based DJ duo.

The Avant/Garde Diaries: Aaron Rose & Watts Towers

by Paddy Johnson on August 8, 2012

Objects tell their own stories. Their materials reveal details about place, the form tells us about the maker. Perhaps there is no better example of this than The Watts Towers in California, a series of seventeen spindly structures that look like radio towers built by aliens. Close up, it’s easy to see the details of artist Simon Rodia’s lifelong obsession: streams of countless bottles, seashells, and other bits of refuse carefully tiled into a web of arches, loops, and stems. He called the work “Nuestro Pueblo”, Spanish for “our town”.

The Watts Towers are the subject of The Avant/Garde Diaries latest short featuring filmmaker Aaron Rose. Rose, an ex-gallerist turned documentary filmmaker explains that his attraction to Rodia stems from his own interest in art makers slightly outside the mainstream purview.
