Judd Buffum’s videogame butchering charts
Jude Buffum made butchering charts for Koopas, Ganon, Chocobos, and Yoshi:
“For the upcoming show Pixel Pushers, sponsored by SCION and curated by Giant Robot, I decided to explore the carnivorous side of the world of video games. Though I myself eat meat, enough of my friends and loved ones are now vegetarians or vegans, so it’s something I’ve been experimenting with. I suppose these pieces are a by-product of that exploration. That, and my long-time obsession with meat diagrams.”

Joshua Webb
Joshua Webb is an Australian visual artist. From his statement:
“Webb’s practice to date explores the oscillating frontiers of an unknowable thesis in relation to art. The work reflects an ongoing philosophical expedition that transverse a wide selection of meta-data sourced from history, language, culture, politics, technology and capital. With each artistic endeavour Webb embodies theory as form, the resulting sculptural and filmic containers left behind become the debris of an endless philosophical negation. ”

Erwin Wurm’s Gulp
Erwin Wurm‘s new exhibition: Gulp. On view at Lehmann Maupin‘s gallery in News York:
“In gulp Wurm introduces the theme of the social envelope – clothing, food, furniture, cars, houses – in order to annotate the fragility of both the individual and collective identity behind it. Wurm uses these items as personifications of a social context through which individuals attempt to express themselves all the while being formed and deformed by it. In works such as Telekinetischer Masturbator, a sculpture of a man without arms, wearing a real shirt, and Me Under LSD, a single extended hand supporting a large cloud-like structure, Wurm translates psychological and mental realities into physical realities. The layers in which Wurm surrounds the body, both metaphorically and literally, the extensive fattening-up or thinning-down of people and things, are, like his softened architecture, sculptural metaphors for an existential insecurity about the boundaries of oneself.”
