the chorus to this kazakh music song goes pretty hard
And she's so resource-efficient! 14+ painters, one census form. Dissociative Identity Disorder has redefined the art commune.



Every one of the alters in Kim's body ("Kim", she says, is just the name that the collective gives to its vehicle; there is no "Kim" in Kim) does different styles to the work they make. A couple are color-&-form abstractists, one trucks exclusively in occult symbols, one restricts herself to rather disturbing renderings of seemingly ritual abuse. Judy, the 15-year-old, seems to enjoy duality. There are even anonymous artists in Kim, distinct from the thematic alters, who pop up from time to time.
Please enjoy the fruits of a fractured mind here, and maybe try an appropriately/oddly disembodied virtual tour, if you'd rather a video. Bear in mind the poignancy of calling the work of internal personalities "outsider art."
A sound example of the splice genus by Vimeographer Ex guru.


This one's a little treat for anyone who's ever wanted to hear the president call a dude a motherfucker.

The President's "Race to the Top" is a "competition to get states to implement school reforms that produce real results". It is unfortunate that President Obama hired Arne Duncan as Secretary of Education. Arne Duncan was formerly the "CEO" of the Chicago Public School system (CPS), the second or third largest in the country, with literally, actually, hundreds of thousands of students (and 666 schools). At CPS, Mr Duncan only ever got around to closing "bad" schools, allowing a selection of its students to attend a decent one across town, and stuffing the rest into another overcrowded, failing school, also usually not in the hood.
I ain't intend to turn this into Euro surrealist week but the universe keeps on passin the dutchie so we follow suit. For your pleasure please view Muzorama, a depthy barnburning sortie into the dream-logic universe of French illustrator Muzo, made in six weeks by students at Supinfocom (Arles campus). Watch, dig, spread.
UPDATE: Authentic 2-D Muzo to be had in Les Très Riches Heures du Cannabis, published in ancient times (1998), lookable on scribd and gettable at amazon.fr. Let's all learn French, why don't we.
Welcome back from the holidays. We are all overjoyed!
It ain't exactly news (c. 2008, spring) but all human beings deserve to remember that Italian muralist & illustrator BLU did an enormous thing to unsuspecting walls in Argentina & Germany. Seriously, watch:
Download it for yr own self al suo sito. This has been your decennial reminder to write in books and paint on walls.
Margot Padilla is a renaissance woman and should probaly be president of "non-shitty" america. She has a brilliant celebrity zine Totally Mag (totallymag.tk) that you may have seen on your LA friend's stack of graphic novels when you weren't allowed to sleep on the huge couch because new dick roommate doesn't know how to chill. She has a website that takes it back to the pure world of personal homepages / category buttons / x-files (prettycoolland.com), and she makes bleak / rager rave / bitcore /paegent anthems as I.E. (www.myspace.com/inlaempyre) featuring lyrics like "You ain't shit,You ain't shit,You ain't shit, Bitch *Click*You're off my myspace, go back to friendster bitch". It makes me smile.
You know I'm basically going to heart anyone that treats the internet like the monkey bars and life like the geodesic dome that they don't have in playgrounds anymore. I was going to create the Q&A multiline Google Wave Interview matrix but thats not really in the spirit of MVP. Heres our very special e-mail exchange:
> Who is the best person to look at computer things with?
> Angie Olsen or Kyle H. Mabson
> It's significant in the zine world i think
Note: Some of these videos may have been uploaded awhile ago but I found them this year and thus they qualify for list status, DEAL.
