The Dutch: There’s a cult party for Sandberg Institute’s new magazine: The Collective.

at Mediamatic
Friday, October 24, 9PM
Vijzelstraat 68, exhibition space—ground floor
Amsterdam

Curated by good dude Roel Wouters & Luna Mauer.

“With nofound, I chose to open a space for contemporary photographers to show fragments of their intimate diaries. This isn’t a photo lesson, I wouldn’t dare, just a try to search, universes. That’s why, nofound.”

Not just cute names for genitalia, Dawdle & Gape is also the name for the traveling 2008 Yale Graphic Design MFA Thesis Book show. It just closed in Seoul and is moving on to CAFA (Central Academy of Fine Arts) in Beijing from October 24-30. After that it will travel to 2-3 more places in Europe and the US, through the end of the calendar year.

Hugo & Marie is an imaginative consultancy and talent boutique. We have the pleasure of working amongst and curating extraordinarily talented leaders in any number of creative disciplines. We call ourselves by many names - artists and art directors, illustrators and designers - but we each share the compulsion to speak in the wonderful, nuanced vocabulary of visual media. Hugo & Marie provides the appropriate voices to speak the goals of countless creative endeavors - including our own.

This poster recently got released for the month of October over at If You Could. Each month, they put out two two-color prints by artists and designers and make them available for sale for one month only. (Note the timeline to purchase before the month is out). Previous prints you no longer have the opportunity to own include work by Letman, Andreas Samuelsson, Anthony Burill, Siggi, and Körner Union.

Nathan Nedorostek and Anthony Pappalardo are geared up to party and show off. The two spent the last 30 years collecting documentation of the visual history of the American Hardcore Music scene, edited it into 2,000 pages with 8 billion images of zines, tshirts, record covers, and moshpitals, and named it Radio Silence. There’s actually way too much to cover in a small entry such as the kind of blog post we deliver here, but this is a pretty intense collection of things, and there’s some great words to read, as well (including a wonderful entry by Mr. Mark Owens).

You have no choice but to get this book, and I’m debating whether or not I’ll let you sit out these two events:

Woah, woah woah! Peter Sutherland, Philip Lorca Dicorcia, Wolfgang Tillmans, Jason Fulford, Harrell Fletcher, Larry Sultan, PHIL COLLINS! LUCY LUI!!! And that’s just a name sampling! A mere name smatter! Fifty-eight (one for each state) artists and photographers are offering their work in this online auction that will benefit the Obama Campaign, the DNC, and MoveOn.org. Photographer Dru Donovan is one of the five people who organized this, and while her work isn’t included in the auction, it, too, should not be missed.

This starts October 1st (tomorrow). Get to your banks and grab your money two weeks ago.

Selected works of Errol F. Richardson aka Busy Monster.

“O.H.W.O.W. is here with the goal of raising the bar for the creative world and integrating it’s true spirit into the wider world of culture at large. We intend to exhibit creativity with mayhem, showcasing talent with an approach never before seen. We’re one of the select few that can truly package the low brow with high brow, the yesterday with today, and the superficial with the thought provoking. We intend to set the pace and carry this community on our backs to push the movement forward.

The power of people is undeniable. O.H.W.O.W. ’s strengths lie in its people: the creative community. The community is comprised of artists, musicians, photographers, writers, poets, filmmakers, skaters, performers, curators, designers and creatives joining together in a venue where we can express ourselves without limitations.”

I like The Virgins.
