[Updated] Art F City’s Pandacam Broadcasting Live From 319 Scholes

by The AFC Staff on October 7, 2013

[Editor’s note: The video above compiles footage from AFC’s pandacam so readers have a sense of what we did over the course of the shutdown.]

None of us require experimental medical treatments, and none of us are currently in space. We are all, however, fans of the National Zoo’s Pandacam, which has tragically been lost in the general disruption of public services.

But we’re not taking this lying down. Instead, we will dedicate ourselves to providing Pandacam services for as long as the government cannot, even if it requires a lot of lying down and occasionally live-pooping.

by Corinna Kirsch and Whitney Kimball on March 19, 2013

Bushwick artists, get ready to put on your very best Bob Ross impersonation. This Sunday, The Active Space will host a Bob Ross-inspired painting takedown where competing artists will duke it out over who can paint the best “Rossian” landscape.

The New York Post is looking for OkCupid users to profile on its weekly dating column, “Meet Market”. They’re trying to turn OkCupid into “Love Connection” of old, where readers get to vote on which dude gets to go on a date with a girl. They’ve already sent out some willing OkCupiders on dates (the paper will pay for all your drinks and vittles, except for the tip), with mixed results. Here’s where you sign up. [The New York Post]

The launch of one “American Star,” he wrote, “helped to ease Americans’ Space Age insecurity.” Greg noted that America’s launch into space seems to have made an enormous impact on artists like Anish Kapoor, Tom Sachs, and Francis Alys; at the end of his post, he announced that he would be hunting down the original test models and photos. The show opens tomorrow night at 6 PM. [apexart]
