Gossip Girl Producer Previews "High Infidelity"

Posted on October 14, 2012 by Danzig

On Monday's all-new episode of Gossip Girl, Serena is determined not to fall back into old habits.

We've all heard that before, but will this time be any different for the Upper East Side It Girl?

Looking to make a new name for herself, S throws her first adult event in "High Infidelity," a benefit for the Central Park Conservancy. Executive producer Sara Goodman previews this and more in the video below.

Gossip Girl 'High Infidelity' Producer's Preview

By Serena's side is Steven, who appears to have a connection to Sage, who Nate is dating.

"Dating" is one word for it, anyway. Nate is also in need of a new journalistic bombshell, having punted his Gossip Girl expose, and is looking to revamp the Spectator by running Dan's serialized novel.

Will Georgina and Dan go for that? We see them deciding the best way to publish his epic new work and have the biggest impact. Perhaps teaming up with Nate offers a mutually beneficial partnership.

Meanwhile, Chuck convinces Amira to stick around and find out why Bart faked his own death, and Blair will be in classic Blair form as the head of Waldorf Designs, looking to outshine the competition.

"High Infidelity" airs Monday night, the second of the final season's 10 installments. We learned the title and a key guest star of the Gossip Girl series finale, slated to air December 10, yesterday.

Check out the nearly three-minute episode above and comment below!

Anatomic Fashion Friday: ANATOPUNK

Posted on October 14, 2012 by Danzig

Anatomy and punk collide in this collection, titled ANATOPUNK, by Paris-based apparel designer, Diana Jap. I enjoy the way Diana incorporated the anatomy, especially in the patchwork leg muscles on top of the plaid pants in the last photo. I also love the bleached technique used to define the pectoral and arm muscles in the second model from the top. But where are the huge mohawks?!

Day of the Dead Costume Party with tequila, traditional altar, Aztec dances and our annual Lady Death Piñata! Macabre New York!

"Gross America" Book Launch PartyAn Illustrated Lecture and Book Signing with Richard Faulk, with Music and Cocktails by Friese Undine
Date: **** Thursday, October 11 (NOTE DATE CHANGE)
Time: 8:00
Admission: $5
Produced by Morbid Anatomy
*** Copies of Gross America will be available for sale and signing

Don’t judge a book by its cover. And don’t judge this collection of American oddities solely by their gross exterior. With wit and insight backed up by meticulous research, Gross America, the debut book by genial polymath Richard Faulk, takes you places you thought you never wanted to see, to unearth stories you’d never imagined.

What is Gross America?
Gross America is toothsome concoction of science and nature trivia, served with a side of sagacity and wit, and delivered in an irresistibly putrescent bundle.

No, really: What is Gross America?
Ok, it’s a travel guide to the grossest sites our 50 states have to offer. Sniff out the chemical secrets of the celebrated “sperm tree” of Los Angeles; gaze into the innards of North America’s sole surviving anatomical Venus; thumb the pages of a prison memoir bound in the memoirist’s own skin; or sneak a peek into the chamber pot used by the real-life Uncle Sam.

And those are just a fraction of the potential verb-object parings made possible by this nasty little book.

On top of being a sheer joy to read (he wrote modestly), Gross America offers an introduction to the wild nature of our 50 states and a window into some of the more perplexing moments of science, past and present. It will answer questions you might never have realized you had, and change the way you think about things you never wanted to think about in the first place.

You may never look at toxic waste the same way again.

Why should I come to the release party?
Well, at the very least, you’ll probably get drunk. There will be music, too. There will also be a discussion, and you will be able to ask the author impertinent questions about his book, and you will become intrigued enough to buy it. Which you will also be able to do.

RICHARD FAULK is a writer, editor, and Observatory habitué. A onetime time-travel columnist and occasional education reporter, he has also written about Vikings for Australian tweens, covered academic conferences for Columbia University, and celebrated the films of Pam Grier in Penthouse. He now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he thinks deeply about trivial matters.

Santa Muerte, San la Muerte and The Fascinating History of Death Personified in Latin America

Posted on October 14, 2012 by Danzig

I took the photos you see above over a series of trips to Los Angeles to document the fascinating phenomonon of Santa Muerte, a sacred figure worshipped as part of the larger pantheon of Catholic saints in Mexico and now also, with the wave of Mexican migrants, in the United States as well. Thought to have its roots in a syncretism of the beliefs of the native Latin Americans and the colonizing Spanish Catholics, the name literally means "Holy Death" or "Saint Death," and she--also fondly referred to as "The Skinny Lady--tends to be worshipped by disenfranchised members of society such as criminals, prostitutes, transvestites, the very poor, and other people for whom conventional Catholicism has not provided a better or safer life.

Doing some research into the matter, I recently stumbled upon Frank Graziano's Cultures of Devotion: Folk Saints of Spanish America, which offers fascinating insight into the genesis of both Santa Muerte and the very similar San La Muerte tradition, which developed independently from a similar native/Catholic syncretism in other areas of Latin America; I also would give anything to see one of the bizarre theatrical productions described below:

In the Jesuit missions, the publication of many books included, in 1705, a translation of Juan Eusebio Nieremberg's De la Diferencia Entre lo Temporal y Eterno. Among the engravings in the book was one of a triumphant personified death, holding a sickle (a variation on the scythe) in one and and an hourglass in the other. Death as a skeleton also appears in another image, which was likewise copied from a European original.

These engravings document the presence of the Grim Reaper in the missions, but more important in folk culture were theatrical productions staged by the Jesuits for the Guaranís' religious instruction. The performances often included Christ's resurrection, with props of skulls and bones and with the Grim Reaper in the supporting cast for dramatization of Christ's triumph over death. Such performances contributed to fixing the personified image of death within a religious context.

Almost all the artists in Jesuit missions were Guaranís who were trained by Europeans. These indigenous carvers of saints thought of their work more religiously than artistically: "Image-makers quite literally believed that they were making saints and gods." This observation is particularly suggestive in the context of San La Muerte, whose traditionalal carvers were likewise creating, not representing, a supernatural power. For the Guaraní mission artists, "The reality of things was not expressed by imitating their visual appearance, as in European art, but by capturing their essence." The imagery, including the image of death personified, was adopted from European traditions and then invested with this "essence." The carvings transcend mere representation and become empowered in themselves like amulets.

All of this also brings to mind the wonderful 18th century book La Portentosa Vida de la Muerte (The Astounding Life of Death); more on that here.

All photos you see above are from my trips to Los Angeles to document the Santa Muerta phenomenon; for more, click here to see my complete Flickr set.

More Than Skin Deep: Our New Free eBook on Drawing Anatomy

Posted on October 12, 2012 by Danzig

Knowledge of anatomy is essential for artists who want their figures to appear realistic and natural. But we are not surgeons or medical professionals! Artists are not, and should not be, slaves to anatomical correctness.

Author Dan Gheno discusses resources he's used for drawing anatomy, plus methods of practice that will allow you to integrate it into your art in ways that make sense and aren't a hindrance to what you want to do. That includes what to focus on when you are life sketching, why sculptural corch is so helpful to artists, and what Old Master anatomy drawings are worth a good, long look.

Anatomy isn't magic. It just takes a willingness to pursue the subject and a little bit of memorization to start to make headway with it. With your free eBook, Human Anatomy Drawing for Artists: An Art Lesson on Studying & Drawing Anatomy, you'll get the guidance you may have been missing and more than a few ideas on how to make inroads with anatomy drawing as an artist.

'Grey's Anatomy': Watch April's Awkward Return to Seattle Grace (Videos)

Posted on October 13, 2012 by Danzig

ABC

'Grey's Anatomy's' Sarah Drew

Let the awkward moments begin on ABC's Grey's Anatomy.

In three new clips from Thursday's episode, titled "Love the One You're With," April (Sarah Drew) makes her triumphant return to Seattle Grace after Owen (Kevin McKidd) asked her to return to her former position.

VIDEO: 'Grey's Anatomy' Season 9 Trailer: Sex, Marriage and Arizona's Road to Recovery

Turns out, the lovely Dr. Hunt didn't tell anyone that she'd be returning -- as an attending, no less! -- including Jackson (Jesse Williams). Even better: the chief of surgery also didn't mention to April that Jackson opted to pass on taking the gig in Tulane and that the guy with whom she had a boards-inspired fling was still scrubbing in at Seattle Grace.

Elsewhere, Cristina (Sandra Oh) begins to make new friends in Minnesota -- with Dr. Parker (Desperate Housewives' Steven Culp) -- as the shop talk turns potentially flirtatious.

STORY: 'Grey's Anatomy's' Jessica Capshaw on Arizona's Heartbreaking Loss and What's Next

Speaking of flirting, Alex (Justin Chambers) has new intern Jo (Camilla Luddington) assigned to his service and begins to make a move on the chick with the guy's name. Callie (Sara Ramirez), however, has other ideas about the potential pairing and doesn't hold back with what so far has been the funniest line of the medical drama's dark and twisty ninth season.

Neve Campbell, Patrick Dempsey

Scream reunion!

Grey's Anatomy has enlisted Scream star Neve Campbell to play one of Derek's four sisters, TVGuide.com has confirmed.

Exclusive Grey's Anatomy First Look: Will Derek Ever operate again?

Her arrival comes as Derek (Patrick Dempsey) has turned to teaching since his hand isn't fully operational after it was mangled in last season's plane crash. Check out the photos of Professor Derek here. It's a reunion of sorts for Dempsey and Campbell who co-starred in Scream 3. He played a detective who investigates the Ghostface murders and later takes a romantic interest in Sidney (Campbell).

As first reported by TVLine.com, the Party of Five alum will appear in at least two episodes slated to air in December.

Enric Huguet’s Calcium Sandoz Forte Ads

Posted on October 7, 2012 by Danzig

Wonderfully illustrated pharma ads created by legendary Spanish graphic designer, Enric Huguet. Said to be responsible for some of the most interesting posters in the 50s and 60s, Enric style is based on simplicity and conceptual clarity, ranging from illustration to simple geometric graphics.

In an interview with Gràfics Dissenyadors Col.legi of Catalonia magazine, Enric says of design,

“A graphic designer is a poet and a linguist of visual images in the world. Poetry brings warmth and emotion to the message. The linguist logic introduces clarity through the correct articulation of the message. In every work must have emotion, feeling and clarity.”

Enric designed for various pharmaceuitcal companies in his career and in 1973 he won the Laus prize for this series of Calcium Sandoz Forte illustrations for Uriach Laboratory (shown above).

I recently had the chance to learn from some top creative directors in pharmaceutical advertising that a great ad needs to visually stand on its own. This is accomplished through injecting emotion, feeling and clarity into the ad, exactly how Enric stated.

Skull Brain by Emilio Garcia

Posted on October 7, 2012 by Danzig

Barcelona-based artist, Emilio Garcia of lapolab just released a sneak peek at his latest creation, the Skull Brain. You may know Emilio for his now famous and prolific Jumping Brains series. Available in almost any color imaginable these whimsical brains have received worldwide coverage, appearances in gallery shows (including our 2010 Street Anatomy show), and collaborations with many big artists.

The Skull Brain, done in different colors and materials, will be showcased at the Art Miami, CONTEXT pavilion at Black Square Gallery. CONTEXT, Miami’s newest cutting-edge, contemporary art fair, will launch with a VIP Private Preview on Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2012, coinciding with the 23rd edition of Art Miami.

I love Emilio’s story because he wanted to do something outside of the digital realm. He created lapolab, a space for himself to do visual art and plastic experimentation. Spurred on by the success of the first Jumping Brain project, he’s gone on to do many other projects and the Skull Brain is just his latest big iteration. Looking forward to seeing where this one goes!

Also look out for a collaboration between Emilio and Street Anatomy in the future!

See the entire Skull Brain creation process on Emilio’s Flickr.

Exclusive Grey's Anatomy First Look: Will Derek Ever Operate Again?

Posted on October 11, 2012 by Danzig

Patrick Dempsey

Derek's got a new profession on Grey's Anatomy!

With the prospect of never getting back into the O.R. looming, Derek (Patrick Dempsey) will turn to teaching in the Thursday, Oct. 25 episode, which was directed by Kevin McKidd.

Grey's Anatomy Scoop: Jessica Capshaw discusses Arizona's fate and what's next

As Derek struggles to come to terms with his injury, Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) will be there to support him, though she'll refrain from discussing her own surgeries, aware that he may never operate again and that prospect is not looking good.

"I don't know if his hand ever will be fully recovered," Pompeo tells TVGuide.com. "I don't know if he's ever going to do surgery again, or if it's just sort of like, he can't do surgery right now, I'm not really sure."

Grey's Anatomy: Where were we and what's next?

Check out the exclusive first look photos from the episode, "I Saw Her Standing There," along with a behind-the-scenes look at McKidd directing:

"Ecstatic Raptures and Immaculate Corpses: Visions of Death Made Beautiful in Italy" Exhibition, Final Open Hours TOMORROW, Saturday October 6, Noon-7 PM

Posted on October 7, 2012 by Danzig

Tomorrow--Saturday, October 6--is your last chance to check out "Ecstatic Raptures and Immaculate Corpses: Visions of Death Made Beautiful in Italy," an exhibition featuring photographs by myself (some of which can be seen above) and waxworks by artists Eleanor Crook and Sigrid Sarda, on view at The Last Tuesday Society, 11 Mare Street, London All photographs and waxworks are for sale, and quite affordable, if I do say!

The exhibition will be view from Noon until 7:00 PM. Also on view will be the wonderful collection of taxidermy, naturalia, erotica, books and curiosities which comprises the spectacular Last Tuesday Society Giftshop.

Well worth a trip, I promise! Full details follow.

Ecstatic Raptures and Immaculate Corpses: Visions of Death Made Beautiful in Italy
An exhibition of photographs by Joanna Ebenstein of the Morbid Anatomy Blog, The Morbid Anatomy Library and Observatory with waxworks by Eleanor Crook and Sigrid Sarda.
Date: TOMORROW: Saturday, October 6
Time: Noon-7:00 PM
Location: The Last Tuesday Society , 11 Mare Street, London, E8 4RP

In her many projects, ranging from photography to curation to writing, New York based Joanna Ebenstein utilizes a combination of art and scholarship to tease out the ways in which the pre-rational roots of modernity are sublimated into ostensibly "purely rational" cultural activities such as science and medicine.Much of her work uses this approach to investigate historical moments or artifacts where art and science, death and beauty, spectacle and edification, faith and empiricism meet in ways that trouble contemporary categorical expectations.In the exhibition "Ecstatic Raptures and Immaculate Corpses" Ebenstein turns this approach to an examination of the uncanny and powerfully resonant representations of the dead, martyred, and anatomized body in Italy, monuments to humankind's quest to eternally preserve the corporeal body and defeat death in arenas sacred and profane.The artifacts she finds in both the churches, charnel houeses and anatomical museums of Italy complicate our ideas of the proper roles of--and divisions between--science and religion, death and beauty; art and science; eros and thanatos; sacred and profane; body and soul.

In this exhibition, you will be introduced to tantalizing visions of death made beautiful, uncanny monuments to the human dream of life eternal. You will meet "Blessed Ismelda Lambertini," an adolescent who fell into a fatal swoon of overwhelming joy at the moment of her first communion with Jesus Christ, now commemorated in a chillingly beautiful wax effigy in a Bolognese church; The Slashed Beauty, swooning with a grace at once spiritual and worldly as she makes a solemn offering of her immaculate viscera; Saint Vittoria, with slashed neck and golden ringlets, her waxen form reliquary to her own powerful bones; and the magnificent and troubling Anatomical Venuses, rapturously ecstatic life-sized wax women reclining voluptuously on silk and velvet cushions, asleep in their crystal coffins, awaiting animation by inquisitive hands eager to dissect them into their dozens of demountable, exactingly anatomically correct, wax parts.
Joanna Ebenstein: New York based visual artist and independent scholar Joanna Ebenstein runs the popular Morbid Anatomy Blog and the related Morbid Anatomy Library, where her privately held collection of books, art, artifacts, and curiosities are made available by appointment.
For the past 5 years, she has traveled the world, seeking out the most curious, obscure and macabre collections, public and private, front stage and back, and sharing her findings via her the Morbid Anatomy Blog as well as a variety of exhibitions including Anatomical Theatre, a photographic survey of artifacts of great medical museums of the Western World; The Secret Museum, a photographic exhibition exploring the poetics of collections private and public, front stage and back.
Other exhibitions using history as their muse include Savior of Mothers: The Forgotten Ballet of Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis at the Center for Disease Control Museum and The Great Coney Island Spectacularium, an immersive investigation into the often bizarre spectacles of turn of the 20th century Coney Island at The Coney Island Museum.
She is the founding member of Observatory--a gallery and lecture space in Brooklyn, New York--and annual co-curator of The Congress for Curious Peoples, a 10-day series of lectures and performances investigating curiosity and curiosities, broadly considered and taking place at the Coney Island Museum.
Her work has been shown and published internationally, and she has lectured at museums and conferences around the world.

"Permit Bearer to Go to Hell and Return Unharmed": Coney Island Ticket Stub or Souvenir for Darkness and Dawn Cosmorama, Early 20th Century?

Posted on October 7, 2012 by Danzig

Seller's Description:
This is a souvenir of a visit to a Coney Island Bowery amusement called Darkness and Dawn. It was a Cyclorama, and had been created for an exposition in Omaha, Nebraska in 1898. It was brought to the Coney Island Bowery at the turn of the century. The souvenir is card stock, in the shape of a coffin, and has a skull and crossbones illustration at top. It also has a quote from "The Devil." The same image and text is printed on both sides (shown). The attraction on the Bowery was destroyed by fire in 1903, and was rebuilt for Luna Park several years later.
