Melvin the Machine by HEYHEYHEY from Dezeen on Vimeo.

In this movie filmed in a warehouse on the outskirts of Eindhoven, the ringing of an alarm clock triggers a chain of events that opens umbrellas, spins paper windmills, starts a fire and releases a set of parachuting toy animals.

Dutch design studio HEYHEYHEY originally constructed the machine, named Melvin, during Dutch Design Week 2010 but reassembled this improved version a year later.

I have been thinking about Lee today. Lee's mastery and total understanding of interdisciplinary practice involved the translation & connection of the human psyche. He used many methods: fetish, appropriation, historical figures, myth & 14th to the 21st century imagery that resulted in a body of fantastic fashion; how astounding. ♥ A.L.M.

CLOSE UP AND PRIVATE's etiquette for the modern classicist

2011-08-08T10:36:00.002-05:00

CLOSE UP AND PRIVATE's etiquette for the modern classicist,
a loosely compiled list of scrupulous style cues for gentlemen

-

Slim cut suits with short legged trousers go a long way.
-
Buy a pair of wingtips and loafers.
-
The Beatles sir, listen to them – and do so regularly.
-
Owning at least 3 oxford shirts has never done a man any harm.
-
Be a gentleman towards women.
-
Own several ties – n.b. Four-in-hand knots only – mix things up with a bow tie.
-
Watch all movies by Andrei Tarkovsky. Re-watch them.
-
Always consider a well-fitting navy blazer with gold buttons.
-
Serge Gainsbourg looked smart in a trench coat and so do you.
-
Own a classic cashmere v-neck and a round-neck pull-over.
-
Kaki chino trousers are as essential as they are basic.
Choose your pair meticulously.
-
Cherish a good relationship with your parents.
-
Sometimes looking at a nice black and white picture of your grandfather
as a young man wearing his Sunday-suit can learn you more about classic style
than reading 20 fashion magazines.
-
A watch – you do own one do you? - should be flat, vintage, and have a leather band.
-
Be punctual.
-
Ray Ban sunglasses matter.
-
Stay current.
-
Trust the classics.

Mediocre thoughts- Saturday at Intelligentsia

2011-05-21T18:59:00.001-05:00

NOTES:
1. the gym makes me: sad, happy, angry, excited, feeling thin, then fat, then almost the right weight
2. 1 chi latte and 1cappichino make for a productive an speedy afternoon
3. I really like Katy Perry she is my teenage dream
4. blogs and tumblr are the new creative outlet for self publication
5. Is romance dead?- this is a sex in the city reference - well gays, it's only dead if we stop it and I wont let that happen, flowers, poems, blushing boys on the street: let's keep it going.
6. I have a friend who charts her moods - I think i just might start this action as well- to see if I am really "happy"
7. I am going home 3 times this summer; Superior in summer is more amazing then the Pines
8. Orange was my favorite color for about 10 years..I now prefer gray as my daytime hue.
9. I live with 2 women. These 2 ladies are smart, sexy, powerful and ambitious, this is a true motivator.
10. I have been trying very hard to smile and be kind to strangers, wow am I jaded, this is my summer challenge.

Gay of the Day: James (Arthur) Baldwin (1924-1987)

2011-03-29T08:55:00.000-05:00

American writer, noted for his novels on sexual and personal identity, and sharp essays on civil-rights struggle in the United States. Baldwin also wrote three plays, a children's storybook, and a book of short stories. He gained fame with his first novel, GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN (1953), a story of hidden sins, guilt, and religious torments. In this and subsequent works Baldwin fused autobiographical material with analysis of social injustice and prejudices. Several of his novels dealt with homosexual liaisons.

I First read GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN in 9th grade, I had no Idea Who James was or what he was about. I had to pick a book out of a reading list & I randomly chose him; the irony of this choice was almost fate like.

Radiohead 4-4-1996

2010-12-06T15:54:00.001-06:00

This image comes from the show that Matt Osterlund, Molly Milroy & I attended at Chicago's METRO.
The story is as follow:
Thursday, April 4, 1996
The Metro Chicago Theater

After a wonderful week in Chicago for spring break, Matt, Molly & I needed to go out with a bang. We were bumming around Wrigly and came across a theater marquee labeled with the heading Radiohead. This was the Cabaret Metro now simply known as the MERTO, a long standing music venue in the city. I had some (small) knowledge of the band on the marquee, Radiohead had done a song for the summer movie Clueless, so we tried to get some tickets.
There were some issues:
a. it was pouring rain
b. we were under age
c. we looked like out of towners and no one would scalp to us.

Then our luck changed; as we were about to go home a small man came out the front doors of the theater and approached us. He said "You guys want to go to the show?" we nodded with excitement. "How much?"I said. the short man then smiles and says "No Charge!" He then handed us the tickets & neck lanyards and off we went.

Remember this was 1996 and Radiohead was indi-rock famous not mainstream & we had no clue what was going on.

The walked into the venue and up to the VIP space. The main floor had people on it but the theater was not packed and the VIP are had a bunch of record people standing around. Matt & I nabbed a free drink (yes mom, booze & beer) and waited for the show to start.

The lights dimmed, the smoke got thicker and the man who gave us the tickets walked out on stage. Molly hit me in the arm and pointed, I just thought he was the promoter but I was wrong...it was Thom york the front man. (Que shocked music)

The show was amazing, Radiohead was sad and ART broken, "Fake Plastic Trees" made me well up with tears & it really was a fantastic show!

After the show WE ventured down to the main floor to say thank you for the tickets.
Molly approached Thom, we chatted for awhile and we took the set list.

Now that is an amazing night!

Matt Osterlund's Version
The way that night transpired, what got us to that point, all the things that had to line up just right. Meeting those girls the night before at Second City, them telling us they'd be at The Metro the next night clubbing, then we show up to... a big "Sold Out" sign and "Radiohead" on the billboard. Then shopping for records next door, leaving and deciding to look at The Metro calendar to see who was playing next week, only at that point does a short goofy looking british dude in a hoodie come out the front door and ask us three kids if we wanted free tickets to the show. I remember seeing their "tour bus" which was a Uhaul with a trailer, now to think where they're at. Man, what a night. I'll never forget that night, the emotion, "Fake Plastic Trees" being played, me in tears with two great friends in a huge hug, it really was great.

Erik Fabian’s “The Bee, Direction, and the Driving Lesson” relies heavily on the interventions of its three-person audience: one passenger (this reviewer) serves as driving instructor, while he receives destinations from a second passenger and toothpick stings from a third, the Bee. Fabian’s ability to navigate the city while subject to these distractions (not to mention the occasional blasts of buzzing from the piece’s soundtrack) is impressive, if occasionally nerve-wracking. My drive exemplified the strengths and weaknesses of such interactive work, fluctuating between a heightened sense of reality created by serendipitous responses in and out of the car and stretches during which not much was going on. “Placement,” performed by Bridget Kies, David Jude Greene, and Liz Wuerffel, uses the car only tangentially, transporting the audience to a lakeshore spot at which we witness some rigmarole that may or may not be about travel. The performers display a striking visual sense. The sight in the far distance of Greene holding an umbrella and Kies with a suitcase, framed by the vast gray expanses of sky and lake (and abetted by the Whistler-like weather Sunday) testifies in its unsettling melancholy to the power of unconventional staging. The festival as a whole succeeds in altering, if fleetingly, our relationship to our vehicles and the city through which we drive them. (John Beer)

“Drive-By Performance” plays at Links Hall, 956 Newport, (773)281-0824, through November 19.

What’s your art about?
Most of the work I do deals with social interaction between two people. I’m really interested in the idea of quick, immediate meetings.

Then what’s your best advice on meeting someone you want to hook up with?
A bar is probably one of the easiest places to actually talk to somebody. All you need to do is give them a nice little glance and a little wave.

If you could bring a celebrity here, who would it be and what would you drink?
The drink, first and foremost, would be the El Diablo [Azul Blanco tequila, creme de cassis, ginger beer and lime juice], because that is dangerous, spicy, and sexy. I saw a bunch of the kids from "Gossip Girl" the other day, and I think any of those people would be fine with me, the boys or the girls.

Here is a super small doc of the video film fest at The Art Institute of Chicago.
The event had a nice turn out & there was some really great videos. It was free night at the museum so there was a ton of people watching the body of work. I was really pumped that the Chicago Reader used my work as the ad for the show!
I also have t o thank my dear friends who not once but twice came out to see my one minute of fame.

Kings of Chicago Submissions Fall 2010

Call for entries:This fall will be the launch of a small art based magazine simply grounded in the diversity of gay culture. This is a single run issue, 300 total, including artist proof. This periodical falls with in the tradition of punk and independent zines of the nineteen eighties/nineties and the contemporary publications of the new millennium.

This particular publication is about men only but not male centric. As artists and contributors to our great culture we must respect out community as a whole.

This first publication deals with “new gay male ideals and identity” in place of his historical framework.

The contents, theme, and motif of this issue deal with “The Missing Link” (working title). Since the 1980’s, post AIDS, America has lost many of its middle-aged men (45-65). This loss has caused a historical, social and representational gap in the queer community. The survivors and uninfected are unheard, the living group of men don’t talk about the “ACT UP” days and the youth (25years or less) know nothing of their historical past because of this lack of communication. I.E. “What’s Stonewall?” This issue is a reflection and reaction to that missing group. Please note: “missing” does not just mean deceased. How do we continue our queer legacy, history and progress with out this chronological link? How does the community teach the youth about our historical context with out sounding like angry queers or should we still be angry? This is a reactionary project, an exploratory version of our historical context.

This issue of KOC is asking for your written or visual reactions. The form is solely in the hands of the artists. KOC is looking for ten contributors, all ages, ethnicities and people who identify as male need apply. All contributors will receive a copy of the magazine, marketing, and inclusion in the editors notes for the launch of the publication, no monies will be exchanged. There is no fee for entry and submission of artwork. This is an editor driven publication and will be juried by the editor and KOC’s counterparts.

Submission information:

- By Email: Submit JPG's via email (maximum size: not larger than 10 inches or 720 pixels in any one direction and 72dpi only), and not more than 6 - 12 samples. If KOC wants to see more we will ask.

- Send work to: kingsofchi@yahoo.com

- With all submissions include your location, short biography, artists statement or both. Each and every sample of work MUST include artist's name, title, size, medium, date, and edition.

- All writing samples must be sent in with in a Word document and embedded with in the Email.

- KOC reserves the right to reject work due to unresolvable disputes between the artist and curator(s).

All artwork needs to be emailed by midnight September 15, 2010. We are shooting for a late October early November 2010 launch date. If admitted to KOC further publishing details will follow.
