Rick Owens

Rick Owens visit's NY for his 2nd time (ever) to showcase his furniture entitled "Pavane for a dead princess".
According to sources, the designer plans on staging the gallery in the image of sleeping quarters in his home in Paris. Furniture pieces will include a "low bed and curvilinear headboard cut from Spanish alabaster," reports WWD. "For added Owensian flourish, a floor-to-ceiling sheared mink curtain will enclose the space."

I can't wait for this even though I'll have to go all the way up to 92 nd st., but anything for Rick Owens!

Opening:
Sat. May 8, from 6-8 p.m.
Through Jun. 25

Salon 94

Basquiat

Jean-Michel Basquiat's meteoric rise to artistic fame has become the stuff of legend. How he went from living on the streets of Manhattan going from girlfriend-to-girlfriend, writing cryptic sayings on the walls and signing them "Samo," being discovered by the downtown hipster cognoscenti, achieving fame and fortune in his lifetime and dying from an overdose of heroin all within a span of ten years makes quite a story. via papermag

The Radiant Child opens in New York on July 21st at Film Forum.

Video 

"These striking beasts seemingly take their first breath when our own subjective narrative begins to reveal itself, the animal’s human eyes pleading with the viewer to resolve its potential role in existence. It is within this dichotomy that viewers experience feelings of empathy and anxiety, not knowing if the tamed chaos begins or ends with themselves."
These sculptures by Kate clark are equal parts eerie and magical. The expression in the faces are so human like I thought they were digitally altered. See more of her work here.
