ADVERTISING IN NEW YORK
Traveling from the World Trade Center in New York City to Exchange Place, New Jersey on the Path train could be considered tedious at best of times. But when my girlfriend grabbed my arm to tell me that I was "miss...
SUPER MARIO MOVIE
You remember Obelix, the wide friend of Asterix, who fell in a pot of magic potion and was doomed with extraordinary strength for the rest of his gallic adventures? Well, have you ever imagined what would happen to...
SIDEWALK GALLERY
The idea of art on streets isn't something new. It's been around for decades, if not centuries. In cities like New York, you can't a walk a street without seeing something on the sides of the street - graffiti (whi...
MOBILE MEDIA, ART AND THE CITY
The first weekend of October was a big day for a nascent art form in New York City. It was the first time that an outdoor, wi-fi powered crowd gathered for Spectropolis, a festival of wireless art in the city. This...
YOUNG GUNS 4
I'm starting to hear the term "Young Gun" more and more these days. The Art Directors' Club in New York holds a bi-annual award show that celebrates the talent in design and advertising under the age of 30. The ope...
PROTEST 2.0
I thought about reporting something relevant these days here: an opening, a concert, some event. However, things seems pretty quiet and lame this summer (which actually feels more like autumn). In fact, the landsc...
83RD NYADC ANNUAL AWARDS
The 83rd Art Director's Club Annual Award Show is on view at the ADC Gallery in New York City. The Art Director's Club, also known as the ADC, is a rather prestigious organization for creatives in the design and ad...
RIDDLE OF THE SPHINX
I had not been to an opening for over 3 months. This last Friday 25th I programmed myself to go to the Deitch project's openings, mostly to cover the story & take pictures, but also to see what was being shown ...
RES 10 EXHIBITION
A few weeks ago, I got somewhat of an exclusive, "invitation-only" e-mail message in my inbox. It was from Res, the digital filmmaking magazine. By now, Res has become a household name among designers and independ...
THE ARMORY SHOW 2004
The lingering smell of beef quesadilla and chili from our rushed lunch filled the freight elevator as we waited to get into the Armory Show on a blustery March day in New York City. While standing in line to purchase ...
TKNY COMPACT-IMPACT NIGHT
anuary 16th was a particularly cold Friday night here in New York: the mercury dropped to -20ｼ F and froze as arctic blasts, were definitely in full chill-factor mode outside. When the weather gets this hostile, I ...
NEW YORK BLACKOUT 2003
It was a bit after 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I had stepped out of my work office to run some errands and was about to go back into the building. As I walked through the doorway, all the lights in the building seemed...
100 ARTISTS 100 T-SHIRTS
It would appear that the highest form of artistic expression, by today's standards, is to design a T-Shirt. Books such as "The T-shirt Book:" and "100%Cotton: T-Shirt Graphics" chronicle the best in T-shirt design...
MATTHEW BARNEY EXHIBITION
I have to admit, as someone who lives in New York, that I don't go to museums that often. Just to name art and design museums, there are a handful of them that I can think of: The Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolit...
BLIZZARD OF NEW YORK, 2003
I have been writing Shift Infoworld NYC since 1999 and there have been very few times that I wrote about something not related to art, design or culture. In fact, the only time that I wrote about such news was Sept...
FUGITIVES
Fugitives is a group show that brings together seven artists from diverse backgrounds whose work fuses the formal protocols of graphic design, comics and illustration with the more traditional media of painting and ...
