The work of Jean Michel-Basquiat has been hugely influential to artists, filmmakers, and musicians all across the world, so it's rather strange that a major exhibition of his work has never been held in the UK. In fact, not a single piece is held in a public UK collection.

“Animals” is an art project of New York based photographer Ryan McGinley, consisting of color portraits with live animals and nude models. In his photographs, human legs and torsos are covered in scratches while animals are staring directly at the camera, wearing an expression of apparent shock. Before working on his project, he visited several sanctuaries, zoos and rescue establishments all over the United States, always having a mobile studio around wherever possible working with different animal trainers. McGinley`s pictures are studies in animal bodies, their strangeness and seductivity.

The Pop art attitude is created through the use of candy-colored backgrounds to make the images far more attractive, introducing a mentally tension between their initially inviting appearances. The relationships between the animals and models situate the photographs firmly within the sphere of the surreal and the psychedelic. McGinley’s art is included in the collections of The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C., and many others.

Last night a cold front rolled through Chicago, and lucky for us art consultant Amy King was on the lakefront and stopped to shoot an amazing 5-second timelapse as a low-hanging roll cloud moved ominously down the shoreline. So, what’s a roll cloud? Meteorologist Cheryl Scott explains:

What is a Roll Cloud and how does it form? It’s a low, horizontal, tube-shaped cloud. It is formed by winds changing speed/direction when the air temperature reverses its state (resulting in warm air on top of cool air). The shear in the atmosphere sets up a rolling motion, think [of a] rolling pin used in a baking.

You can read a bit more about roll clouds—also called an Arcus Cloud—on Wikipedia. (via @kingartcollective)

I just spent way too much time rearranging blank windows. Weirdly soothing.

Travelling on the subway or underground isn’t great is it? Fluorescent lighting shocks your vision, you’re unable to see outside and panic often ensues if you can’t get a seat. Luckily, illustrators Mrzyk & Moriceau have reimagined the journey into a hilarious and psychedelic vision to the soundtrack of the summer Subways by The Avalanches.

Cover Zeit magazine from Germany I love this cover concept by using two covers after each other (page 1 and page 3). Zeit Magazin carries this concept each week and this creates an excellent opportunity to give more depth to their coverstories.

Actif de 1969 à 1990, le groupe d’origine bordelaise Présence Panchounette était un collectif à géométrie variable. Leur manifeste, publié en 1969 sous le nom d’Internationale Panchounette, annonçait une impérieuse envie de tout dégommer, avec style et emphase. « Qu’est-ce que l’Internationale Panchounette ? Sinon le désespoir du dilettantisme, la fleur de la vulgarité »

Umwelt is a short film by Japanese artist Yoshiyuki Katayama that depicts an elegant series of flowers blooming in slow motion. Unlike other time-lapse videos we’ve seen in this genre, each flower is accompanied by an insect or spider that crawls across each flower at the precise moment it blooms. The timing is incredible considering the insects stay in view while the flower comes to life, there must be some sort of clever editing? Katayama also created a small website that gives a bit of information about each insect and flowering pairing. A vertically oriented version of Umwelt recently won 3rd prize at the 2nd Vertical Film Festival in Australia.
