Vilhelm Hammershøi. Amazing Danish painter. Truely the poetry of silence. Imagine a Tarkovsky camera floating through these empty rooms (like this sequence shot from The Mirror). As if carried by birds.

Acid Brass was a musical collaboration between Turner-Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller and the Williams Fairey Brass Band. The project was based on fusing the music of a traditional brass band with acid house and Detroit techno.

The little info I could find about fictional artist, John Dogg, apparently a construction of Richard Prince and art dealer Colin de Land:

Speaking of ’80s art stars, John Dogg, the fictional artist who electrified East Village art collectors with his Minimalist presentations of all manner of automobile and truck tires (hung bare on the wall like paintings or enclosed in handsome, carpentered wall and floor units), is currently on view in New York in not one but two group shows, at Zwirner and downtown at Apexart Curatorial Projects in Tribeca. A personage purportedly invented by artist Richard Prince and the late dealer Colin De Land, Dogg first surfaced in two solo shows in 1986 at 303 Gallery and De Lands first East Village gallery, Vox Populi. “He lives upstate,” was all Colin would admit when pressed as to his artists background.

Doggs works still have just the right mix of anti-art nihilism and macho low-class styling (a formidable combination, perfected by Prince). Down at Apexart, Dogg’s 1987 John, Not Johnny — a glitter-finished pearlescent tire cover painted with the word “John” in cursive script — is paired with L.A. artist Kaz Oshiros eye-fooling, canvas-and-stretcher simulations of music amplifiers and a well-weathered, sticker-covered truck bumper.
