Opening Tonight! New Painthings @Nudashank

Alert!  Remember when we told you all about that group show CHROMATOSE that was happening at Nudashank in Baltimore, and how it featured Smarties Tatiana Berg and Ted Gahl?  Well they evidently stole the show and Nudashank has given them their own show to say “thanks” and also “you are fucking awesome.”

Opening tonight, New Painthings:  Tatiana Berg/Ted Gahl
Reception 6-10pm

Friday, February 12
Nudashank Gallery
405 W. Franklin St.

No Smarties’ newest BFF and all-around wonderful man Dan Golden has become a fellow bloggeur!  His recently revamped site includes not only his fucking great designed objects but also Sad But Beautiful, his holla at yo’ journalism.  You might want to subscribe to that shit.  If you don’t know who Dan is you can go over and read this interview he did with Design Glut.

Love the Jungle-Book-meets-Seventh-Seal vibe of this new video for Babylon by Congorock, directed by No Smarties BFF Pomp&Clout.

Living in Delusion (Downtown)

The ladies of the Delusional Downtown Divas do something you don’t see all too often: make fun of the art world through being root-tootingly HILARIOUS (as opposed to normal art world criticism, which is often pedantic and hypocritical and snoozerfest).  Maybe it’s because by “art world” we mean “themselves.”

Meet Oona, Swann, and AgNess: hyped-up versions of their real world selves, who were artworld born-and-raised, but are 1000x more embarassing and 1000x more entertaining.

They’ve just launched their second season which you can watch here. And if you don’t you are making a SAD SAD mistake for yourself and your sense of humor. Watch it and laugh until you wonder how many people are actually unselfconsciously like this all the time? Answer: Um actually quite a few.

Cheers, ladies!
