Holland’s own Parra gets a new website

Had a chance to play on this table after a draught pouring event at the Heineken headquarters yesterday.  Cold beer and foosball are a perfect match.

TRI-X-NOISE is Bill Daniel’s new website featuring classic, quality handmade photographs at super-accessible prices ($25 and up).

“Tri-X-Noise is a way I can sell prints directly to you. The deal is to try to make these as accessible as possible— $35 for an 8×10, $45 for an 11×14, $65 for a 16×20— about the prices you’d pay for digital prints. But these are real, analog, optically-printed hand-made photographs― b/w double weight fiber paper, archivally processed. (Gelatin Silver Prints) If I make a photograph it’s made to last as long as humanly possible. I want you to be able to give your grandkids a photo of a Minor Threat show that they can give to their kids. Maybe that’s a silly idea, but that’s part of what motivates me.”

Here are a few never-seen-before photos of The Assholes: Hole Invasion, a comic book by Shock G of Digital Underground. These photos are of the spiral-bound, one-sided dummy that was used for editing in 1999. Unfortunately, the book was never published, and this is one of the only—if not the only—copies in existence.

18 floors above the newly installed Companion (Passing Through) by KAWS, a happy crowd of artists, musicians, and entertainers got down to the seamless tunes played by Samantha Ronson and ?uestlove in the luxurious Boom Boom Room. Having never seen the piece in person before, it is a reality that the sculpture is an outstanding piece of art. Though strangely enough, nobody was in agreement with my interpretation of the whole thing being about food shame. That might have been the Hennessy acting up on my part…

Check out an interesting twitterfed gallery of the sculpture here, and peep it in person at the Standard NY through October 2011.

Zio found this great photoset from Mutantmandias from 2006 taken at the abandoned Japanese Theme Park, Gulliver’s Kingdom. For more of a background, click here.

French artist Horfe sent over some images of new work. Dude has got some talent, and he’s also got a print available through Topsafe.

Aol threw a really cool party last night celebrating the newly opened (today) Rainbow City by FriendsWithYou in the lot below the Highline. Have a look.
