I'm Not Here by Pol Úbeda Hervàs http://www.juxtapoz.com/current/im-not-here-by-pol-ubeda-hervas http://www.juxtapoz.com/current/im-not-here-by-pol-ubeda-hervas I'm Not Here by Pol Úbeda Hervàs
How can we accept that we are changing? How can we accept we hardly recognize ourselves in certain situations? I am changing at this very moment of my life. I do not react in the same ways I used to. I am surprised. Is that me? These pictures are the way I see myself now.

Craigslist-assisted Readymade by Adriana Ramic http://www.juxtapoz.com/current/craigslist-assisted-readymade-by-adriana-ramic http://www.juxtapoz.com/current/craigslist-assisted-readymade-by-adriana-ramic Craigslist-assisted Readymade by Adriana Ramic
Have you ever scoured the strange and beautiful archive of free stuff on Craigslist? Free stuff in this context ranges from adorable puppies to sofas out in the snow, piles of dirt, and defunct televisions, all of which are simultaneously uplifting, sincere and full of hope for new ownership and suspect, sad, and blatantly abandoned.

The Works of Chad Wys http://www.juxtapoz.com/current/the-works-of-chad-wys http://www.juxtapoz.com/current/the-works-of-chad-wys The Works of Chad Wys
Illinois native Chad Wys' has continued his deconstructive assault on the art world. Using a variety of mixed media elements, Wy's has focused on creating a series of ready made objects that are based on objectivity and ownership. In doing so, he often explores and exploits the idea of object-hood: how we decorate our lives with arbitrary, as well as meaningful, things...

The Conceptual Works of Aili Schmeltz http://www.juxtapoz.com/current/the-conceptual-works-of-aili-schmeltz http://www.juxtapoz.com/current/the-conceptual-works-of-aili-schmeltz Los Angeles based conceptual artist Aili Schmeltz recently caught our eye. Her works are a constant process of research and response to natural events and phenomena that captivate and serve as an impetus to weave these seemingly isolated events into a larger contextual tale.]]> Editor@juxtapoz.com (Juxtapoz) Juxtapoz Sat, 29 Dec 2012 03:19:47 -0800 Landscapes by Levi van Veluw http://www.juxtapoz.com/current/landscapes-by-levi-van-veluw http://www.juxtapoz.com/current/landscapes-by-levi-van-veluw Landscapes by Levi van Veluw
This 4-piece series reinterprets the traditional landscape painting, removing plots of grass, clusters of trees, babbling brooks from their intimate 2 dimensional formats and transposing them onto the 3 dimensional contours of his own face. Thus a fresh twist is given to the obsession inherent in the romantic landscape of recreating the world and simultaneously being part of it. The romantic landscape and self-portrait genres are combined as a means of re-examination.

The Louis Vuitton waffle maker by Andrew Lewicki http://www.juxtapoz.com/current/the-louis-vuitton-waffle-maker-by-andrew-lewicki http://www.juxtapoz.com/current/the-louis-vuitton-waffle-maker-by-andrew-lewicki The Louis Vuitton waffle maker by Andrew Lewicki
You can now eat luxury (and there are a ton of people who gobble up LV goods like they are waffles, and we are pretty sure that LV makes their low end bags like waffles). OTIS graduate Andrew Lewicki has created one of our favorite sculptures of the year; the Louis Vuitton Waffle Maker. Waffles from here go for $32. Joking. Not really.

Leaning with Paul Octavious http://www.juxtapoz.com/current/leaning-with-paul-octavious http://www.juxtapoz.com/current/leaning-with-paul-octavious Leaning with Paul Octavious
Here we sample a few photos from Paul Octavious' Lean with It and the Book Collection series. The tension of potential energy in each shot is what gets us most excited. Each photograph balances precariously upon a moment of chaos, while remaining sturdily planted.

John Baldessari's Pencil Story http://www.juxtapoz.com/current/john-baldessaris-pencil-story http://www.juxtapoz.com/current/john-baldessaris-pencil-story John Baldessari's Pencil Story
Back in the early 1970s, John Baldessari told a story about his pencil. It was a sad pencil that he revived. It was a moment of his own obsessive attention to detail that compelled him to revive it. It was subtle, but it was art.
