BEAUTIFUL/DECAY RELEASES ISSUE X AT MARK MOORE GALLERY Sep 3, 08, 3:01 p.m.

Beautiful/Decay is pleased to celebrate the release of Issue X this Saturday, September 6th from 5-7pm at the Mark Moore gallery. They will also unveil the revitalized direction and scope of the magazine. Beautiful/Decay has expanded coverage of international art and design, while maintaining their characteristically fresh and informative approach. By delivering more of the innovative artists and designers that have established Beautiful/Decay’s reputation as an unparalleled contemporary art sourcebook, the magazine will further extend its support to the creative community.

The opening will feature an open bar provided by Grolsch, music from Billy the Kkid, and an artist’s reception for Ultrasonic International III.

About Issue X:
For Issue X, Beautiful/Decay is proud to include a dynamic range of features that loosely address the nature of representation and the ways in which it is replicated, manipulated and transmorphed through the artistic process.

Scott Anderson conflates a dissonant line-up of images derived from his personal vocabulary, whether dream catchers, lunar landscapes or beer bottles, to create science-fiction style landscapes at once familiar and foreign. Mala Iqbal also imagines alien vistas- that cleverly investigate the nature of representation and painting through her unique blend of magic, kitsch and a knack for the unexpected.

Michael Swaney chooses to narrate idiosyncratic, boyish-charmed scenes that reference both childhood nostalgia and adult irony, Jeff Whetstone captures uncanny photographs of graffiti-marked caves. The natural scenes, layered with human scribblings, document the phenomena of anonymous marking and the act of creating itself, referencing everything from the Paleolithic cave paintings of Lascaux, to ribald rants on bathroom stall walls. His re-cast panoramas of disorienting rocks are brought back into the realm of the familiar through banal human traces.

Barnaby Whitfield’s feverishly playful pastel distortions both attract and repulse with their candy-colored depictions of subtly grotesque figures. Beautiful/Decay will also interview duo design team Oh Yeah Studio, who gracefully merge pencil-sketch representational drawings with abstract computer modeled concepts, and explore Oliver Hibert’s hyper-colored images.

As usual, Beautiful/Decay will also feature a stellar line up of recent show reviews, from Los Angeles to New York and in between.

Toronto's best programmers? Aug 26, 08, 11:20 a.m.

Suggestions?

Need something similar to a shopping cart scenario to organize and manage orders of sales materials on an existing internal (login required) site.

Must be full service, no "mom&pop" shops.
