The images are created by shattering porcelain figurines from a height of 9.8 feet, the pieces photographed just as they hit the ground.

Having her cake and eating it too?
Untitled (Birthday), 2007, from Kim Dingle’s show of slightly demented and possibly drunken childrens’ birthday parties. The image dissolves, just like the frosting does, as one assertive and naughty-looking brushstroke detaches itself from the existentially challenged celebrant and drifts into the ocher ground.
In another daring gesture, the press release explains nothing—but it least this time it’s the artist’s choice.
It was ostensibly hijacked by Dingle, who, pronouncing that she has erased the bio the gallery wrote for her, issues a coy disclaimer. ”Subjects are useful for paint and for using line,” she writes. “If what is depicted makes the artist laugh then all the more fun for the artist and maybe for the viewer, too – but it is usually an accident. That is all it is.”

Your Face Here?
JR, the peripatetic French artist spreading goodwill and enormous posters around the globe, moves through Little Italy with his InsideOut project.
Operating in the juncture where participatory art meets social media, the TED Prize-winner asks people to send him black-and-white photographic portraits—which he transforms into posters and sends back to their communities, where the images are posted in public settings, and then documented in online archives.
Created by JR, his partner, Marc Azoulay, and their team, this portrait, part of the Lakota Tribute series, hovers over the intersection of Mulberry and Prince Streets in downtown Manhattan. Check out the way their Ben-Day-like dots play off the bubble letters below— setting up a comic-book showdown between street art and graffiti, perhaps.
