Collection



Rirkrit Tiravanija has continuously proven himself to be at the forefront of modern conceptual art. Extremely social in nature, Tiravanija's exhibitions range from feeding gallery-goers to recording footage of a road trip and displaying it, along with the car that made the journey, for everyone to see. In this video, Cool Hunting talks to the artist about his current project as part of Absolut's 365 Days initiative in Mexico and the culture's attitudes towards art.

Love his work!

Sleep no more



A British theatre company has been wowing audiences in New York this month with an unusual version of Macbeth.
The production, called Sleep No More, uses dance and visual theatre, and some 100 rooms across six floors of a warehouse space dressed to look like an old hotel.

Cool Hunting's latest video interviews Livi Vaughan, Associate Designer for Punch Drunk, who played a large part in assembling the massive interactive piece Sleep No More, currently playing in the Chelsea neighborhood of NYC. An intensely detailed set, Livi talks about the challenges and excitement of Sleep No More's decor and the challenges of inventing a driving enigmatic space that will continuously engage the audience.

Swoon's Musical house in New Orleans



About the Project:
A Grand Gift for a Unique City
From the salvaged remains of a decrepit Creole Cottage, the Brooklyn-based artist Swoon has re-imagined a permanent, interactive sculpture for the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans. We call it the Dithyrambalina. It will look like a house, but it will function like a musical instrument. A growing group of local and national sound artists are working towards interactive instruments that can be built into its walls and floorboards so that visitors can bring the house to life through their touch. Ultimately, musicians will be invited to play the house, performing orchestrated works at block parties for their friends and neighbors. This project is for the love of New Orleans - its architecture, music, culture and its people.
Swoon has designed the look of house and we have formed coalitions with everyone from architects to salvage suppliers. The next phase of our project is to create instrumentation for the house. This Fall our sound artists will publicly test their prototypes in a temporary installation we are calling The Music Box - A Shantytown Sound Laboratory.

Premiere Brazil! 2011

A collaboration between The Museum of Modern Art and the Rio de Janeiro International Film Festival, the annual Premiere Brazil! festival introduces New York audiences to original and accomplished work by both new and established Brazilian filmmakers.

The ninth edition of the festival shines a light on the strength and vivacity of recent Brazilian film production with several promising debuts, including the opening-night feature Craft, Gustavo Pizzi’s fictive portrait of the ups and downs of a creative personality; and Toniko Melo’s VIPs, a stylish, fictionalized look at a real-life con artist. Other films mine historical subject matter to offer new perspectives on the present, including Carlos Adriano’s Santos Dumont’s Mutoscope; Silvio Tendler’s Utopia and Barbarism; and Flavia Castro’s Diary, Letters, Revolutions…. MoMA and MoMA PS1 also pay special tribute to Cao Guimarães, an artist whose work is equally at home in galleries and movie theaters. Several of the artist’s haunting, evocative documentaries and film essays will be screened at MoMA, and a selection of looped short films will be on view at MoMA PS1 on July 16 and 17.

More info go to MoMa Film exhibitions.
