Sweatshoppe Video Painting

In an effort to establish new platforms for public art and performance, the
multimedia duo SWEATSHOPPE has developed a new interactive technology that enables them to explore the relationship between video, mark making and architecture. Dubbed "video painting", this technology allows them to essentially "paint" video onto any surface. Shooting in Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan, the duo spent weeks documenting their work in urban settings to create "The Landing" the first in a series of episodes that showcases their work as artist, technologist and performers.

Art Shows Thursday 29th October

Conor Harrington
Featuring Conor Harrington
30th October 2009 - 26th November 2009
Lazarides Gallery hosts 'Headless Heroes' by Conor Harrington. Conor's last solo show in 2008 was a bold and beautiful visual feast and 'Headless Heroes' promises much more.

Continuing his exploration into masculinity and power, Conor's new paintings and drawings combine historical re-enactment, F1 pit-stops, text and glamour models. Conor's aim is to have the visual aesthetic of his paintings reflect the visual culture we live in.
Since he was a teenager painting on the streets of Cork, Conor has always tread a fine line between 'street art' and 'fine art', never aligning himself with a particular movement or aesthetic but instead pushing forward with his own unique representations of the world around him, creating works that are striking yet accessible.

The show is open Monday-Friday 11-7pm and Saturday 12-5pm.

What would happen if the infamous Pendle Witches - hung in 1612 for crimes of witchcraft - came back?

UK-based illustrator Sarah Coleman (aka Inkymole) teams up with New York photographer
Anthony Saint James, willow artist Tom Hare and writer Ed Garland to present an intriguing and deliciously dark take on the witchhunts of the 1600s.

Unsettling photography, twisted shadowy figures and expressive type-led illustration
combine in response to the wicked and uneasy ‘confessions’ of the modern-day witches.

Thursday October 29th, 6.30pm
Numbers at the venue are limited,
please 'RSVP' to

Man Built Pan-Am Plane Cabin Raplica in His Garage

California resident Anthony Toth has built an impressive replica of a first-class cabin from a Pan Am World Airways 747 in the garage of his two-bedroom condo. The first-class cabin includes all of the amenities that such a flight would have had in the 1970’s or 1980’s, including red carpted floors, authentic Pan Am seats, overhead bins with working lights and buttons, and even Pan Am napkins and accessories (all of this and more totaling about $50,000 for Anthony Toth).

iPhone Wedding Cake

Although we didn’t get to taste it ourselves, the iPhone wedding cake, made by Charm City cakes for Jerry Brito’s May wedding, is one of the most incredible displays of real-life Apple adoration we’ve ever seen.

We’ve included a few of the pictures of the remarkable cake below so you can see for yourself just how realistic the iPhone cake is to its much smaller muse. Everything from the AT&T moniker in the upper left-hand corner, to the volume controls, battery life indicator, and headphone jack is simulated with frosting that we hope tastes as great as it looks. We’re pretty sure this cake will inspire other Mac fans to copy the idea for their own weddings.

Kid Shreds on Accordion

Vivaldi would really like this amazing performance of a piece from his “Four seasons” by Aleksander Hrustevich.

Halloween Dog Parade 2009

It was a beautiful fall day in New York City. The air was crisp, the sun was bright, and New York dogs were on parade in their finest Halloween costumes. We had doggie pimps, pirates, superheroes, celebrities, and more. See the cutest and most creative dog Halloween costumes from the 2009 Tompkins Square Park Dog Halloween Parade.
