ARBURST_de Kooning ERASED by Bob Rauschenberg
Related to our previous post, we would like to recover one of our favourite works from de Kooning...
...whe he was remixed/erased by Rauschenberg 1953.
Because of the importance of de Kooning work relating abstaction, expresionism, gestural painting, etc... his work, specially the Woman I series was key to a big amount of American painters in the beginning of the 50´s BUT to some of his younger followers, such as Rauschenberg, his continuous shifting from figures to abstract colour fields and back again made him very difficult to truly "evolve" to moder painting.
To Rauschenberg eyes, de Kooning took the right direction and approach, BUT he was unable to get ride of the figurativism that he loved but knew had to discard to get to Modern Painting.
Therefore, Rauschenberg had to kill his father/master.
He asked de Kooning for one of his drawings "to be erased" and, with his authorization, he proceeded to erase the drawing.
By this, he achieved two things (that we find very inspiring):
- Reinforce the idea of abstract expressionism as a way to comunicate in modern way, by obtaining "ghostly monochromatic work without imaginery" through the process of erasing.
- Metaphorically erase de Kooning because, as a Master, he was "something" in the middle of the way to "progress", specially due to his reluctance to abandon the figure in painting.
We like the idea of obtaining new meanings and approaches through reworking previous finished work from another.
If you are interested, you can rad and excerpt in de Kooning biography, here.
ARBURST_de Kooning Retrospective
September 18, 2011–January 9, 2012 at MoMa.
We like the process in his work of multiple methods, strategies and reworkings through time and works with different but coherent results along time...
Interesting techniques for us to explore:
- Pinholes vs smooth/rough surfaces.
- Drips over painting.
- Idea of "underdrawing", meaning the rough, ever-evolving sketch or basic idea for the work. Insistence on the process until you get where you want.
- Related to previous, changing the actual stretched sizeof the painting several times to achieve the desired composition
- Mixed media: charcoal and paint.
From figurativism to gestural abstractions, from landscape abstractions back to figures and to reductive abstaction again.
Come and go process to evolution through multiple strategies and reworkings

LUDWIG WAS DEAF_Soft Metals 2011
We just got this from Phonica and, although we have seen this sleeve before and heard almost the same music 30 years ago, we can´t help but love them.
Techno nerd looking guy vs. sophisticated 80´s goth girl , black framed glasses vs. beautiful long legs, retro sessions (without the unbearable Mac), lots of black garments, backstage projections (no LED) , feather earrings and a huge collections of analog toys.
Our favorite is Voices.
We love them. Thats us.
ARTBURST_Richard Serra Drawings Retrospective
Currently at the SFMOMA.
We like the idea of these raw drawings as part of the process of becoming sculptures, but also the pictorial qualities they have in themselves.
What is more, the relationship between his drawings and architecture is quite close to the type of dialogue we like to discover in the city via graffiti/street art.
In some ways, are quite similar to what we have been doing during the last ten years... is it possible to decode the sculptures and 3D models that lay within our raw, black inked, minimal drawings?
Interesting approach for inspiration and further works.
Seen in Juxtapoz.

ARTBURST_George Condo in Europe
After being exposed in NYC, the "European version" of George Condo retrospective MENTAL STATES is visiting Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam and London Hayward Gallery.
Some ideas we like of this work:
- Different styles and technique approaches are able to define a whole body of work.
- Modern ideas and theming with "traditional" painting resources.
- Someone who grew in the 80´s NYC scene with Haring and Basquiat is (also) able to present a solid for-galleries work without being labeled with the "graffiti writer" tag (pun intended)
- In spite of the previous, he is able to collaborate in commercial projects, such as Sumpreme skateboard decks and Kanye West record sleeve without loosing any intensity as he gives the same importance to both the "official art" and the "consumer art".
- A pop American version of Bacon... and he is still alive!

PULP AFFECTION_WHAT THE...? nr2
by John Byrne.
Marvel Comics Group
Sept. 1988.
We can´t add a single word about the author that haven´t been said already.
As usual, we like the more unknown version of one of the greatest pope in Comics Industry.
A great example of how to entertain and make fun of something that was originally created to be fun.
Under the lighthearted surface and gags there are second (and third) readings full of irony, criticism and pulp knowledge.
we like the idea of different meanings in 1988 and 2018, depending the reader´s comic knowledge and age and how it is fully enjoyable either way.
PS: And yes, it features Super(b)man in a MARVEL issue... :)

ARCHBURST_Steven Holl in Biarritz
We have aways liked Steven Holl work, but wat he has just done in Biarritz (by the way one of our favorite cities in France) defines perfectly our spirit and approach towards life and architecture.
His new building for the CITÉ DE L'OCÉAN ET DU SURF in Biarritz, France blends what we think architecture, modern culture, art, and lifestyle should be.
In this case, the content of the museum, its location and its shape is totally coherent with the function of the building (exhibiting sealife and surf contents).
But what has really interested us about this project is how Holl seems to take a step further and let people not just to contemplate and "see" the subject of the expo (in this case surfing) but also to "live" it through the inclusion of clearly skate ramp shaped roofs for the building. This roofs are perfectly defining by themselves not only the interior spaces for the exhibitions (looks like some kind of projections of surf films will take place there) but they also configure some kind of concrete frozen waves emerging to the exterior space, relating to the sea and all the action that takes place in it.
We haven´t been able to actually see any pics of people really skating there (in the roofs) , and probably, due to the "vandalic attitude" of the potential crew it might never happen (the rough paving doesn´t help, Steven) , but its the first step to understand architecture as part of its urban/natural enviroment and, in this case providing some interaction with the public via skating facilities.
In fact, this building is some kind of revenge for us, as this idea is something we have been fighting for since mid-nineties, usually facing ignorance and stupidity from the "official establishment".
So, you can go a step further as Steven Holl has done, or you can just spend the rest of your life spending others people money and boring your fellow citizens with bland and expensive boxes like this and pretend you are so creative.
You choose.
