FIRExRD in Guangzhou

from their website,

"The new poster design is titled “Go!Go!Fighter!” and features their signature “Big Doll Head” (大头娃娃) character. The “Big Doll Head” inspiration comes from full-head masks that were formerly popular at major celebrations and parades in China. The use of this Chinese prop has declined, but like many of the best Chinese creatives we cover, FIRExRD are bringing back this uniquely traditional Chinese symbol in a modern way."

How Many Billboards?, LA

Also from unurth, "How Many Billboards?" is a project in Los Angeles initiated by the MAK Center for Art and Architecture. According to the MAK Center,

The philosophical proposition of the exhibition is simple: art should occupy a visible position in the cacophony of mediated images in the city, and it should do so without merely adding to the visual noise. How Many Billboards? Art In Stead proposes that art periodically displace advertisement in the urban environment.

The artists featured here, in order, are Kerry Tribe, Jennifer Bornstein, and Kori Newkirk.

fauxreel/dan bergeron re-up and interview

I just have to re-post fauxreel's work, and a link to an interview that he did with unurth that's absolutely fantastic. I was particularly interested in his comments on his own work's relationship with commercial interests and how that affects credibility (re: Vespa Squareheads)

You can check that interview here.
