Couch Slut’s aesthetic was firmly established on their debut album, My Life as a Woman, the cover of which featured a black-and-white drawing of a man ejaculating onto a woman’s face. Leandro De Cotis’s artwork is as integral to the band’s branding as Raymond Pettibon’s was for Black Flag’s in the late 1970s and early ’80s. Couch Slut’s music depicts a life so cruel that survival seems like a victory, but it also features a feminist undercurrent, distinguishing it from that of their male edgelord precursors.
Couch Slut doesn’t push their lyrics to the forefront. The vocals are mixed low, and lead singer Megan Ostrozits tends toward a feral cry or alternates between speaking and screaming on tracks like “The Donkey,” from the band’s fourth album, You Could Do It Tonight.

When poet Cleo Wade and Oscar- and Emmy-nominated writer-producer-director Simon Kinberg (The Martian, X-Men: First Class, The 355, Invasion) got engaged in 2019, the evening was enveloped in art.
A few days before Kinberg proposed — at a get-together at their home — their friend, civil rights activist DeRay Mckesson, sent a photo of the couple to artist Brandon Breaux. The artist in turn created a multicolored drawing based on the photo showing the couple in outline. On the night of the engagement, Mckesson also gave postcard-size prints of the work to guests. “They wrote little things on the back and drew on [them]. It was so sweet,” recalls Wade. “It was a cool way of having art be alive.”
The night was a snapshot of the way the pair approach art collecting, with a focus on works that express freedom and joyfulness. “We both really respond to something that looks really free,” says Wade,...

David Byrne, Iggy Pop and Michael Stipe are among the musicians and artists participating in a new digital art project from artist Maurizio Cattelan called Bedtime Stories.
Bedtime Stories launched via the New Museum and, per a statement, Cattelan envisioned the project “as a way of staying together during these days of isolation.” Each participant was asked to share a selection from their favorite book, but while some followed the prompt exactly, others read their own writing or even shared impromptu performances.

Julio Hernández Cordón, one of Mexico’s most-awarded independent filmmakers over the last decade, has found the leading man for his next feature “The Day is Long and Dark (My Friends are Vampires),” in Fantastic Fest best actor winner Francisco Barreiro, star of Adrián García Bogliano’s “Here Comes the Devil.”.
Barreiro’s casting was shared with Variety from Buenos Aires’ Ventana Sur Market where the project was pitched for the first time publicly at the event’s Proyecta sidebar for Latin American projects.
Since his debut feature “Gasolina” swept San Sebastian’s in progress awards in 2007 before returning the following year and winning the Latino Horizons Award, Hernández Cordón has been one of Latin America’s most prolific filmmakers, releasing a new feature almost every year.

Among the artist-made books (as opposed to the books about artists) at the New York Art Book Fair, which opened last night at MoMA PS1 to a hustling, bustling VIP crowd, is a zinelike collaboration between Marcel Dzama and Raymond Pettibon. Both are artists with David Zwirner, whose new publishing house put the two artists together on the project. “They like each other but had never worked together,” says Lucas Zwirner, who works with his family’s bookmaking operation. First Pettibon gave Dzama some of his unfinished drawings, which Dzama collaged, and then, a week later, Dzama brought some of his to Pettibon, which Pettibon added some of his gnomic text to. “They swapped and then reswapped,” says Lucas. “They wanted to augment each other’s work.” It comes in an edition of 300, none of which are signed, which is why they’re only $30. The tone is a bit anxious...

The Diy legend created the Black Flag logo and set the look for American punk and Indie culture of the 80s and 90s. Directed by Eugene Kotlyarenko, "A Wonderful Cloud" stars Kotlyarenko as Eugene, a man living in La and eagerly anticipating a visit from his NYC-based ex-girfriend Katelyn (Kate Lyn Sheil). While Eugene thinks they might reignite the flame they formally had, Katelyn is there with the sole purpose of dissolving their joint fashion business venture so she can go out on her own. Unable to deny their past, the two spend the weekend together trying to determine whether they have a future in store. "A Wonderful Cloud" will make its World Premiere this Sunday,...

Hudson — the founder of the Feature Inc. gallery, who went by one name — was one of the greatest of his generation, a generation that was rich in art-dealer talent. Feature opened on April Fool's Day 1984 with a show of work by Richard Prince, and was eventually among the first to exhibit the art of Takashi Murakami, Raymond Pettibon, Tom Friedman, Charles Ray, B. Wurtz, Judy Linn, Richard Kern, Lisa Beck, Tom of Finland, and many others. Hudson was 63, but seemed timeless. He was one of the last of his kind, and among the smartest, wittiest, and most visionary gallerists I've ever known — old-school in that he almost seemed not to want to be a dealer. He just loved art and artists. The possessor of a sharp eye, an enormously fine-tuned bullshit detector, and an ability to disagree affably but firmly, he started in Chicago, then...

In recent weeks Raymond Pettibon has been thatching one of David Zwirner Gallery’s big white rooms with lyrically diffident, bleakly funny drawings. But on the day I arrive (he’s late, blaming too much coffee), they are still scattered about the floor, waiting to reveal a pattern to their maker. Some have footprints on them. Leaning against a wall is a painting of the big Ewok face of his Brussels griffon, Boo, who bounds in and promptly pees on a doggy pad. “Sometimes it’s on the art,” Pettibon says, untroubled.His work table is strewn with brushes and Solo cups, bottles of booze, a basket of peanuts, an overhead projector, two $50 bills, and yellowing paperbacks. Next to Cheever’s Bullet Park is one on the Catholic mystic St. John of the Cross. (Pettibon was raised Christian Scientist, but his uncle was a Trappist monk in rural Kentucky.) Pettibon...

A new series from MOCAtv is celebrating subversive artwork in early punk music.
"The Art of Punk" begins with a profile of the artist Raymond Pettibon, who founded Black Flag with his brother, guitarist Greg Ginn. In the short documentary-style film, filmmakers Bryan Ray Turcotte (Kill Your Idols) and Bo Bushnell (The Western Empire) chronicle the birth of Blag Flag's logo -- four black bars that came to symbolize hardcore music.
The 22-minute video includes interviews with notable punk figures like Henry Rollins and Flea, providing glimpses into the impressive archive of posters, album designs and t-shirts bearing the Pettibon logo. It is a celebration of all things atonal and anti-authoritarian, which makes sense, considering Pettibone's reputation for making "obsessive, black-humored art."
Two other installations are planned as follow-ups to the Black Flag episode, focusing on the art of the California-based punk band, The Dead Kennedys as well as the...

A new web series on the MOCAtv YouTube Original Channel is bringing viewers the stories behind iconic pieces of punk rock art. The Art of Punk, created by filmmaker Bryan Ray Turcotte, is a three-part documentary series that explores the logos of three famous punk bands. The first of three 20-minute docs has been released, and it discusses Black Flag, arguing that the band's four-bar logo is part of its identity. The episode shine light on the band and its titular symbol via interviews with band members (including the always-eloquent Henry Rollins), artist Raymond Pettibon (brother of Black Flag founding member Greg Ginn and creator of the four-bar logo), and Flea, who was inspired by Black Flag as a youngster and is so punk that he gives his interview while sitting on the toilet. Two more docs will arrive over the next couple of weeks, one on the Dead Kennedys and another on Crass.

The Brooklyn photographer's latest book, Redheaded Peckerwood, is strange and beautiful despite its subject – an epic killing spree that has haunted America since 1958
In January 1958, Charles Starkweather, a 20 year-old from Lincoln in Nebraska, and Caril Fugate, his 14-year-old girlfriend, embarked on a two-month killing spree that would result in the deaths of 10 people. Starkweather's first victims were Fugate's mother, stepfather and two-year-old sister. The couple hid the bodies, then holed up in Fugate's family home, discouraging visitors with a note pinned to the door that read: "Stay a Way Every Body is sick with the Flue."
When a relative grew suspicious and called the police, the couple fled – so beginning a deadly adventure that by turns mesmerised and appalled the American media and public. They were eventually captured in Douglas, Wyoming. Starkweather went to the electric chair in 1959 and Fugate began an 18-year sentence in Nebraska Correctional Centre for Women.

If you were unfamiliar with the work of artist Raymond Pettibon before, the Red Hot Chili Peppers want to make sure you walk away from their "Monarchy of Roses" music video with a better understanding of him. The clip is directed by prolific helmer Marc Klasfeld -- who headed up the vid for Rhcp's "The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie" -- and it was inspired by Pettibon in it's swirling, jagged stop motion animations of primarily inky lines on a white background.

When I first interviewed the Red Hot Chili Peppers back in June, frontman Anthony Kiedis made it a point to wear his now-ubiquitous Off! cap (the same one he'd wear in their "Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie" video), a tribute to the punk supergroup made up of members of Black Flag, Red Kross and Rocket From the Crypt, to name just a few.
The reason I mention that now is because the Peppers just premiered the video for "Monarchy of Roses," the second single from their I'm With You album, a stark, surging, (mostly) black-and-white thing very much indebted to the work of artist Raymond Pettibon, who made his mark designing album covers,...

Satire, that first cousin of Irony, has long held a high place in both literature and the visual arts.
