The Flaming Lips performed last night at Terminal 5 and this guy was there, sitting in the corner, on the floor, enjoying the music.

Deva Mahal (yes, daughter of Taj), Steph Brown, and The Delmonts brought the house down on Saturday night at St. Mazie. The tracks on her MySpace page do not do her justice—if she is ever in a city near you, you should check her out.

Nice work Kien Lam.

Secret Behavior is launching its first print magazine tonight at Berl's Poetry Shop in DUMBO as part of this year's NY Art Book Fair. From the looks of these excerpts, I expect the magazine to be just as exciting as their tumblr (NSFW).

I recently went to Haiti with The Self-Portrait Project as a part of an advocacy campaign for Haitian housing rights. I put together a short montage to give a sense of our experience and the situation there.

The Self-Portrait Project is a visual archive project. It uses a two-way mirror and a remote trigger to enable the user to take photos of him/herself when and how he/she chooses. I built the first one in 2009, and since then, it’s become well-known in parts of Brooklyn and beyond.

It’s been quite a summer for massive installation art in New York. Paul McCarthy’s epically filthy WS closed a few weeks ago, but if you’re quick you can still catch Thomas Hirschhorn’s Gramsci Monument, the fourth and final in a series of tributes to great thinkers. Take the 2 or 5 trains beyond the familiar confines of Manhattan’s white wall gallery zone, and in the middle of the Forest Houses, just off Prospect Avenue in the Bronx, you’ll find an inspiring, expansive interactive tribute to Antonio Gramsci, the Italian philosopher and Marxist, one of the most brilliant minds of the 20^th century.

On to bigger and better. (SOHO, NYC)

Yes, they are real phone numbers. (Kenmare between Elizabeth and Bowery, NYC)
