Not really a competition, but I think they are more poignant served side by side.

After the Reality II
I visited After the Reality II at Deitch Projects this Saturday. I've posted some (crappy) videos of Ujino Muneteru's Rotators and photos from the show. The dedicated Muneteru was present while I was in the gallery, absorbed in the task of keeping his mechanical sculptures functioning smoothly. The Rotators are autonomous by his division, and yet as I watched him snug the plugs a couple times in a few minutes I could not help but see the artist becoming one of the gears, triggers or conductors collaborating to run the machine. It was adorable.
There will be a performance by Muneteru and the Enlightenment Collective this Wednesday, April 9th.

These are the four known Sesame Street "Geometry of Circles" segments by Philip Glass edited together as one YouTube clip. They are wonderful.

Darkness Becomes You, Tadanori Yokoo
Kind of Loving Steven Charles Right Now
Get off the Cross, the Wood is Needed, 2003-2006
From Pierogi Gallery:
I am interested in creating problems. Painting is a vehicle for me to dedicate myself to something I know won't work. Abstract painting is the most confusing dilemma I have encountered–it is this confusion that motivates me. I am not a believer. I am in search of holes and gaps. When I start a painting I don't plan or sketch, I just begin... The impetus for this work is my optimism, although what I am optimistic about constantly escapes me.
–Steven Charles, 2002

Follow the White Bunny
Thomas Beale introduces Mickey Western.
Walking into Honey Space was kind of like entering the core of a fresh baked apple pie. They were brewing apple cider (with real fruit and cinnamon sticks) on a hot plate and had a Valentine's-appropriate spread of chocolate fondue with sliced strawberries and bananas. The entrance was curiously accented by hay. I don't think I've ever seen real hay in New York City before. Not a single sense I possess was left unsatisfied by the time I departed. The band was phenomenal, the attendees gorgeous, the art delightful, and the tambourine player in a bunny suit was the icing on the pie.
Western and Beale on the accordian
Tambourining bunny, dazzling bass guitar, piles of rescued woods.
I even used the video function on my cam for the first time to capture all the carousing, which means this video sucks, but here it is anyway:

Youtube Fix of the Evening
The artist Arien Valizadeh just posted this Black Dice video for the song "Kokomo" as a myspace bulletin. Here's something of Arien's, by the way:

and myspace.
And here is a really great article to read if you have never heard of Black Dice.
