Tauba Auerbach

I thought that my handwriting was on point, but seriously Tauba has taken the medium through which we express ourselves and UPGRADED it.
Letters like little droplets of magic sprinkled on paper is what twenty-something year old Auerbach does. I love how she approaches language as a science. Like trying to interpret the flowery art of language with the static equation of technology, and her sum is her painting. She is now presenting some of her works here in the greatest city in America, New York. At...

Yes/No (no that is really what the name of the painting is, hehe)

Okay! Cool.

Patrick + Moberg = (LMAO)

I dedicate this post to everyone who has logged on to our blog over the last week to find that it hasn't been updated since last week. Incase you were wondering, some loser after 6 months decided to secure their wireless connection (almost like the kid in elementary school that covered their paper during the spelling test...) so, now I have no more free Wifi and am writing you via the Apple store in Soho. I hope this post finds you well. I think this post should cover everything that I would've posted last week.
 Ladies and gentlemen I give you....... 

Patrick Moberg  

Hah! We're just getting started.. peep the link to this video clip. Enjoy



(P.S.... last week's, "Spit That! open mic" was crazy.... what? I'm just sayin'...)

Kanye Channeling His "Inner Andy Warhol"

Kanyezzee has done it once again, and channeled his inner "artist,"[said with a french accent]. In this case scenario it happened to be none other than Mister Andy Warhol. Andy was a major figure of the pop art movement, and was well known for creating ink images with slight color changes.

Kanye's recently dropped video "Heartless" features some pop art itself with slight color changes, and according to his blog it was based on the 1981 American Pop movie. Check it out for yourself.

You might recognize some resemblance to the work of Mister Warhol....



But honestly, this is not the first time that Kanye has managed to take a style and make it his own. It was done before in his "Good Life" video that was surprising reminiscent to Justice's "D.A.N.C.E." video. And I sure this won't be the last time.

But here at Writer's Block, we'll pay homage to the master Andy Warhol.

The master, the originator, the creater of this style...himself.
