Laughter kills, that is the name of this piece by Ms. Tamari. Very romantic and so sad. Someone broke her heart. RYAN DYE
Dont you feel like doing this sometime? For example, your roomate? Or friend who annoys the fuck out of you?
This guy sent me this piece almost a year ago. I lost his email, his website address, even his last fucking name! I can’t even google him. If someone recognizes his style or if you know who the artist is, let us know! He sent me another piece that i will post later on that is killer, wait for it. RYAN DYE

If you had a chance to go the Whitney Biennial this year, you probably saw Mika Rottenberg’s aH-mazing installation called “Cheese,” which was comprised of a large wooden barn-like structure with videos installed in the “pens” and “coops” of the barn. It was inspired by the lives of these Canadian sisters from the early 1900s who had super long hair and brilliantly marketed a magical tonic that supposedly made one’s hair grow as long as their’s. Anyway, as much as I love that installation and all of its dreamy, surrealist naturalism (did I just make that up a new genre?), my favorite video that she’s done is this one, called “Dough.” Rottenberg focuses on women’s bodies as mechanisms for production, calling into question labor value and the body, and all of that good stuff. It’s Marx meets Suess. Like, duh. HALEY
