Mindful Yet Headless

British-born, Nigerian-raised artist Yinka Shonibare has a new exhibit on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art. Whether you make it there or not, you should at least know about it.

In all of his pieces, the subjects are headless. Shonibare's art contains references from across the globe and combines details that span centuries. Among this varied explorations of contemporary issues: water shortages, climate change, class, race and exploitation.

Deep Thoughts

Ever wonder how to make sauerkraut, crash a party or feign sincerity? You can learn it all plus share your special knowledge with Wired's "How To" wiki. I think I may enter an article about how to get through a meeting with a client who stops randomly and reads out verse from his bible and talks about saving homosexuals. Yes, how to indeed...

Magnum Opus

Cool is coming to Tampa this Saturday, November 14. Art, Music, dance and all things hip will be at the Ritz in Ybor Saturday night.

This is the 4th of Square One's art-explosion events. Themed all things environmental, dress in all white or green if you go. I'll see you there!

Lullabies

Not that new but ever so soothing, Flunk's "For Sleepyheads Only" is a journey into blissful calm. I'm not one for re-makes (I usually say leave well enough alone) but their version of "Blue Monday" makes it seem like New Order never really owned it at all.

Push play and chill.
