Kelsey Bennett and our friend/conceptual artist, B. Thom Stevenson (who we saw his opening at Marc Jacobs in Miami during Art Basel) have a collaborative body of work, BOREGASM opening at New York City’s Fig.19 Gallery tonight, May 3. From the artists, “BOREGASM is a celebration of restless minds and serves as a refreshing reminder that a mere blank stare can produce something that is by far, anything but blank.”

Random International, known for it's distinctive digital-based contemporary art, has installed a 'Rain Room' at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The installation invites visitors to experience the control of rain and explore the roles that science, technology, and human ingenuity can play in stabilizing our technology. The room is basically a choreographed downpour and encourages visitors to move in and out of it.

This morning we bring you some more finger paintings and a process video from Milan-based artist Troilo. Troilo tries to express the uncomfortable condition of being trapped in a void where the rules of society don't apply. There are no dresses, colors, or objects, and we are liberated from useless accessories. His style developed one day, when attempting to translate his drawings into paintings. He found himself using his fingers when he couldn't find any brushes.

California- based artist Lauren DiCioccio uses needle, thread, and cotton muslin to "mummify" newspapers. The newspaper's photographs and portraits are punctured and woven with pockets of color, bringing her own style and life to aspects of each picture. "The dedious handiwork and obsessive care I employ to create my work aims to remind the viewer of these simple but intimate pieces of everyday life and to provoke a pang of nostalgia for the familiar physicality of these objects."

This morning we take a look at the work of Queensland, Australia-based artist Joel Rea. Joel is the winner of the 2011 Gold Coast Rotary Young Achiever in Vocational Excellence and holds a BA of Fine Arts from the Queensland College of Art.

Jan Feindt is a freelance illustrator living and working in Berlin, Germany. Feindt's personal illustrations of beautiful women rendered in vibrant layers of overlapping color are eye-catching and a little bit disorienting, kaleidoscopic visions of youthful exuberance. Feindt studied Illustration at the Vital - Center of Graphic Design in Tel Aviv. His clients include Rolling Stone, Dazed and Confused and Playboy.

Wriggles & Robbins put together this short stop-motion film to promote life-drawing classes at east London's Book Club. In the film, a life model is drawn by the students and dances from easel to easel. After setting up ten easels and capturing the artists sketching the model at a different angle, they edited it together by merging each drawing into the next.

Having already painted two impressive murals while in London, Conor Harrington has just completed yet another piece for the Dulwich Street Art Festival. Here, two figures are seen in boxing stances wearing colonial attire. This image is based on an old painting located in the Dulwich Picture Gallery’s permanent collection.

We are now officially in Beastie Boys month in conjunction with our very special June 2013 issue, and we kick off the festivities with this fantastic animated treatment of a classic BB's interview from 1985. PBS' Digital Studios took the interview and put it through their "Blank on Blank" series, and the result is the Beastie Boys animated by Patrick Smith, saying things like "There's a way we talk and it includes profanity. We never figured we'd be arrested for it." Enjoy!

Let's face it. Chances are you didin't make it to Tokyo for the opening of KAWS' new exhibition, Ohhh..., at Murakami's Kaikai Kiki space. It opened tonight, but in Tokyo time, that means its already open. So, if you didn't make it, we have a little into some of the works that are on exhibit, and as you can see, they are some of the cleanest, bold acrylic works you will ever see.
