Bad Day
Online

Those of you in New York should check out Leipzig's Lubok Verlag table at the INDEPENDENT art fair this week. It's at the former DIA Center of the Arts, from March 4-7th. They've released a bunch of new books since their appearance at the Printed Matter Book Fair last fall, and we wish we could attend.

The INDEPENDENT is open to the public free of charge, and I'd recommend checking out their public programs schedule—lots of interesting panels.

Blown away by this short film, Aanteni, shot by video Todd Cole for Rodarte in Hawthorne, California. Truly beyond the final frontier, the film includes an original soundtrack by No Age (Issue 1). It’s hard to ignore the Mulleavy sisters’ genius, especially when offset by such awe-inspiring settings. Incredible.

If you haven't seen it yet, check out this excerpt from a film by Brian Butler, starring Kenneth Anger and Vincent Gallo. Night of Pan has screened at Cannes, the Athens Biennale, and premiered in London last week accompanied with a live sound performance and projections.

Tonight, Bad Day hosts the New York Fashion Week Finissage and homecoming party for designer Rita Liefhebber. The event is being held at Double Double Land in Toronto’s Kensington Market, commencing at 8:00PM with DJs LBC & Baller followed by Bruce LaBruce and Rory Them Finest.

Peter Coffin (Issue 5) is a part of the Guggenheim’s current show, Contemplating the Void. For the exhibit, which marks the building’s 50th anniversary, nearly two hundred artists, architects, and designers were invited to imagine their dream interventions in the rotunda of the space.
