Kon Trubkovich is a somewhat mysterious Russian-American multi artist whose work revolves around the paradoxes in the human condition. His paintings come from video source material, imaginably paused, unpaused and paused again.

From the first image, it’s almost impossible to recognize that what you’re looking at is actually a painting, but as you can see in the 6th and 7th images below, they are in fact made of brush strokes.

If you’re reading this on the West Coast, you should most definitely check out the opening of Trubkovich’s Leap Second in Los Angeles tomorrow. Beyond dope.

Hey New York City, the NYPD’s controversial Stop-and-Frisk practice against minorities is finally fixed. What a relief.

The corruption, racial profiling and systemic repression against Blacks and Latinos is finally over. To “increase public confidence,” Ray Kelley has issued a 5-point program sent to City Council speaker Christine Quinn. The program outlines the five steps the NYPD will take to end racial profiling completely.

Last year, more than 630,000 people were stopped without warrant, mostly black and Hispanic men. Only about 10 percent of those stopped were arrested. So what does the commissioner have in mind to fix one of the most prevalent corrupt practices facing the city? (Not the Rikers Island fight club, that’s being addresses by a different memo.)

Here’s Ray Kelley’s program:

• Police brass have republished an NYPD order that specifically prohibits racial profiling and will include that message in their unit-level training sessions conducted in June.
• The executive officer in each precinct, housing police service area and transit district will now be responsible for reviewing the paperwork submitted for each stop in their command.
• The NYPD’s Deputy Commissioner of Training will also reteach officers — beginning with the 1,500 cops assigned to Operation Impact — how to properly conduct a lawful stop.
• The NYPD is completing a series of five instructional videos that detail the methods officers should use while conducting a stop.
• Cops have expanded an outreach program to teach them computer skills. The course is currently being taught in two crime-ridden precincts: The 32nd Precinct in Harlem and the 77th Precinct in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.

John Baldessari has had a crazy life, exhibiting thousands of works in many galleries, winning tons of awards, and generally just being a bad ass dude. In this retrospective from Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, Baldessari’s 60 year career is shown in a lightning fast 6 minutes that is also easy to follow (yes, even you can follow it you high bastard.) The only thing that could make it better (and anything involving a voiceover, for that matter) is the whiskey soaked, I-just-smoked-five-thousand-packs-of-cigarettes voice of the absolute fuckin’ MAN, Tom Waits. He sounds just like the kind of guy you’d find in a bar at 4pm telling stories about how his first three wives left him, and he makes this documentary very entertaining to watch. Smoke some of that good shit, and get fucking INSPIRED by the life of John Baldessari. He has some great advice (if you can call it that) for young artists, and seems like a really cool dude you could hang out and smoke a bowl with.

And again, to have Tom Waits tell you about all about it in a smart ass tone is like watching the world’s older brother break some shit down for you in the chillest way possible.

This would be amazing to do in New York, but they would probably put you away for ‘terrorism’ or ‘faggotry.’ So with that in mind, if you’re going to do subversive art in New York, do it right. It would be way cooler to plan it in secret and use oil-based paint so the city couldn’t powerwash it off the pavement at the end of the day. Keep dumping paint in different intersections day after day until the NYPD infiltrates your art terrorism organization and pretends you were planning to buy a bomb.

That or move to Sao Paulo.

BaixoCentro is a movement of civil occupation that wants to crack, hack and play in the streets, conducted by an open network of producers. The first edition of the Festival happened in 23th march to 1st april, 10 days of a production where artists, producers and audience had the same goal to achieve together: make a whole festival using the interchange of services, infrastructural materials and arts to make it possible. There was more than 100 activities from workshops, performances, street interventions, between others.

The opening was in march 23, 2012, when 200 liters of water solved paint were thrown on one of the main downtown São Paulo avenue: Av São João. The action was made in the morning. By noon, the city council had already washed the painting, even though they were water solved.

The intervention was based on dutch artist Iepe, Painting Reality, made in 2011 in Berlin, at Rosenthaler Platz ( painting.iepe.net/)

Thanks Matt for the link!

Also, shout out to Ladder Devils for solidifying my assessment. What hardcore band gets their panties in a bunch over some shit bloggers say? Furthermore, what hardcore band has a twitter and uses that twitter to post how hurt their feelings are. Anyway, We appreciate the award, “worst live band photography”, it really means a lot.

Jayson Scott Musson, otherwise known as Hennessey Youngman has been able to generate a vast fan base through his series of videos called ART THOUGHTZ on Youtube.  Musson presents comic commentary on art, linking it with today’s culture; ranging from the inclusion of racial stereotypes and his use of hip-hop vernacular as a method of expressing his idea that art is colloquial and anyone can produce a work of art. Even Musson’s pseudonym Hennessey Youngman stems from the name of the comedian Henny Youngman; famous for one-liners and cognac, both which are deeply rooted in the hip-hop world.  Musson also combats idioms of hip hop language with those of the art world to convey his ideas about the commercialization of art, poststructuralism, and critiques.

BTW, OUR SUPERCHIEF COUCH WAS IN YOUNGMAN’S ART SHOW IN CHELSEA’S FAMILY BUSINESS GALLERY 

The Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) will be presenting a screening and conversation with Jayson Scott Musson tonight at 6:30 p.m. at their location on 535 West 2^nd Street.  This will be Musson’s first time speaking about his work in New York discussing his series ART THOUGHTZ, and presenting two new episodes titled The Studio Visit (2012) and Grad School (2012), Youngman will also be presenting some of his earlier videos as well.  After the screening Musson will be engaging in conversation with Josh Kline of EAI about how the character and critical voice of Hennessey Youngman came to evolve, how creating rap music influenced Musson as an artist, and how Musson used the internet to as a way to initiate a video performance directly targeted at the art world.

For those of you who haven’t seen any videos from the ART THOUGHTZ series here’s one to get you started:

Anyone who has got any free time and five or seven bucks to spare tonight should definitely check this dude out he is HILARIOUS and super smart and interesting.  Learning about art from a humble perspective should be refreshing and fun! Here’s the info:

Few people have seen as much and contributed as much to skateboarding as Stacy Peralta has, so it’s only fitting that he be the one to put together the definitive document of the culture’s history, one piece at a time. “Dogtown and Z-Boys”, Peralta’s 2001 documentary about the pioneering Zephyr skate team in the 1970′s, was fucking incredible. It’s one of the all-time classic narratives on skateboarding, from any medium. This year at Sundance, Peralta rolled out the spiritual successor to “Dogtown”, another doc, this time on an equally vital part in skateboarding’s history – the Bones Brigade of the 1980′s.

From the YouTube page for “Bones Brigade: An Autobiography”:

“Walk down any street in any town, and you are destined to see someone riding a skateboard. Well, it wasn’t always like that. In the early ’80s, skateboarding was fading away until Stacy Peralta brought a profoundly talented group of outsiders together and dubbed them the Bones Brigade. This documentary chronicles their epic rise, using awesome archival footage and moving first-person accounts from Brigade members Steve Caballero, Tommy Guerrero, Tony Hawk, Mike McGill, Lance Mountain, and Rodney Mullen, among others. Through passion, drive, creativity, and a surprising sense of teamwork, they revitalized the sport and influenced generations.”

The trailer focuses on the rivalry between Christian Hosoi and Tony Hawk, and only begins to cratch the surface of the whole story; but if it’s any indication this thing is going to be another sick, epic trip into skateboarding’s history.

More info about the film can be found at: http://www.bonesbrigade.com/

Tender Trap

245 S. 1st Street, between Haveymeyer and Roebling

J to Marcy//L to Bedford// G to Metropolitan

10 pm- 4 am

(It’s free.)

Today’s installment of “What the fuck are you even talking about, Superchief? Stop smoking so much weed” news that’s actually completely real comes by way of Switzerland, where parties get so gully that according to toxicology reports, two dolphins at a Swiss theme park died after ingesting a heroin substitute around the same time as a weekend rave at the park last November.

Now, we always heard that Dolphins are supposed to be crazy smart or some shit, so we figured they’d be smarter than the average 16-year-old white kid with multicolored technodreads and cyberpunk goggles who doesn’t know how to handle their Ketamine and ends up ruining the party for EVERYONE when their dumbass either dies or gets so fucked up someone has to call an ambulance, but OH WELL APPARENTLY NOT.

According to CNN, who are a lot less baked than we are but on a lot more adderall:

A toxicology report from a forensics institute in St. Gallen, Switzerland, showed tests found traces of the heroin substitute buprenorphine in the dolphins’ urine, according to a report in London’s Daily Mail online, citing Swiss media reports.

The dolphins died within five days of each other in November, after the area near their pool in the Connyland marine park had been rented out for a weekend rave, according to the reports.”

Shit, you know it was a good party when there were fucking Dolphins taking it too far and OD’ing there. Know what’s better than a rave? A lot of things, but one of them is a rave with DOLPHINS. No word on if the DJ’s “brutal drops” contributed to the Dolphins untimely demise, or if there were some “bad vibes man” that caused the Dolphins to “freak out” and “die”. Whatever it was, these Dolphins had full right to be on their Whitney Houston shit and party all the time, right until the very end. RIP (Rave in Peace), Dolphins, PLUR 4 life.

(That shit is kinda beautiful. Damn, I feel bad now.)

Rye Rye has a new single featuring MIA, “Rock Off Shake Off”, out, and it’s not as good as her old shit, which is understandable since she’s been working on that album for like 5 years now. But since we still love her, we decided to shout that out while mashing up some older Rye Rye with footage of an insane car crash that killed 3 bikers in China, because this is Superchief and that kind of shit is what we doooo.

(And holy shit, Rye Rye was fucking PREGNANT during the making of this video? Damn gurrrl. So many props on that. Think about that shit while watching her dance like a lunatic and Chinese bikers getting killed)

(Or watch this shit, which is 100x more intense)

The Chicken Hut Art Salon is having an art swap tonight. That means you bring a piece to hang up and at the end of the night you can swap it with someone else. There’s also going be live performances, puppet shows, beer and people in fun stairwells. Bringing art is strongly encouraged! It goes down at 7 pm until midnight.

Also, the Picture Farm has relocated to it’s new location, and is having an opening tonight.

Rikers Island, the most horrible place in New York City

Here at Superchief, we really appreciate work the Village Voice does trying to expose the corrupt practices of the New York Police Department. The NYPD Tapes was a huge expose based on secret recordings that exposed the 81st precinct in Bed-Stuy. It confirmed the public’s suspicions that the department relies on racial profiling, fake crime statistics and blatantly illegal practices in their daily routines.

That’s just what happens in public. Rikers Island, New York City’s prison island, is a completely different story. The jail has a long history of corruption, a lack of public funding (an entire wing is abandoned and in disrepair), and a complete rampancy of corruption with no legal oversight. The Voice managed to expose a drug ring run by guards, but there is no telling how much fucked-up-shit actually happens there. It’s basically the scariest fucking place in the city. Nobody wants to go there for a good reason.

Now, photos of a guard-run fight club have emerged, in which prisoners are pitted against each other in a demented gambling ring within the prison.

Four years ago, the Voice first wrote about the violence at Rikers, which was not only condoned but also promoted by jail officials in a disturbing “fight club” that pitted inmates against one another. We were assured by the Correction Department that this practice had stopped, as two jail guards were sent to prison.

Now we have learned that the practice has not stopped.

Some of these images are hard to look at. We know that some readers will object to their being published. But in printing them, theVoice hopes that this time, more officials will take seriously the problem we originally exposed in 2008.

Improvised weapons recovered from 'The Program."

The agency interviewed hundreds of teen inmates and concluded that under a practice known as “the Program,” guards were deputizing inmates, often in the teen jail, and pitting them against one another in fights as a way to keep order and extort them for phone, food, and television privileges.

Leaked photos of injuries sustained by prisoners.

I know these photos are graphic and I’m glad you looked at them.

Hey gurrrl. You like smokin weeeeeed and watchin movies on the innernet?

Word, us too.

Just wiki the dude. You probably already know about it, but for those that don’t, light up and take this shit innnnnnnn.
