My Neck is Thinner Than A Hair The Atlas Group and Walid Raad FACT 2005, 226 pgs By Carolyn Tripp As unsettling as they are, photographs of devastation and violence are fairly commonplace. Come to think of it, so too are the debates concerning how familiar they've become in print and on television. Even so, the page after page of post car bomb photographs taken various media photographers makes for an intriguing non-flipbook of devastation in My Neck is Thinner Than a Hair by the Atlas Group and Walid Raad. This volume contains images exclusively from Lebanon's civil war, [...]]]> http://mondomagazine.net/2008/the-pineapple-review-choking-bout-my-education/feed/ 0 http://mondomagazine.net/2008/pineapple-review-show-and-tell-in-the-advanced-class/ http://mondomagazine.net/2008/pineapple-review-show-and-tell-in-the-advanced-class/#comments Fri, 23 May 2008 04:00:48 +0000 art http://mondomagazine.net/?p=1126

Every week, we highlight the best in art-ish printed matter. Pretty much anything on book or in paper is fine and juicy by us. And difficult to eat. But oh, so tasty. A Review of Paper Dolls Hand-Made Publication By Liana Schmidt Available at: www.hqgalerieboutique.com (Montreal) By Carolyn Tripp There's always some smug kid in the first grade who'll far exceed their peers in all things art and crafts. Every exhaustive, repetitive assignment thrown at them comes back a masterpiece, especially when it comes to cut and paste and making origami. I remember wanting to slug a girl once when I was six for making the most beautiful paper cranes you had ever seen in her spare time. It's exceptional how peer aptitude can often inspire violence. Beatings aside, my favourite activity was always that thing where you fold a paper into several sections and cut out a wee shape of a person. I was better at [...]]]> http://mondomagazine.net/2008/pineapple-review-show-and-tell-in-the-advanced-class/feed/ 0 http://mondomagazine.net/2008/why-fancy-pants-are-the-best-pants/ http://mondomagazine.net/2008/why-fancy-pants-are-the-best-pants/#comments Fri, 09 May 2008 05:00:01 +0000 art http://mondomagazine.net/?p=1038

A Review of Fancy Action Now: The Art of Team Macho By Carolyn Tripp Capturing the essence of the Team Macho art collective has always a bit of a conundrum. At least for me, it started to become clearer when I visited their quarters and played with the resident mascot, Punchy the Cat. Commonly referred to as a Tommy Fat Foot, she has an excess amount of toes. Still a regular cat in every other sense, only made exponentially better due to this physical attribute [...]]]> http://mondomagazine.net/2008/why-fancy-pants-are-the-best-pants/feed/ 0 http://mondomagazine.net/2008/the-pineapple-review-the-gospel-according-to-david/ http://mondomagazine.net/2008/the-pineapple-review-the-gospel-according-to-david/#comments Fri, 02 May 2008 05:00:25 +0000 art http://mondomagazine.net/?p=996

Every week, we highlight the best in art-ish printed matter. Pretty much anything on book or in paper is fine and juicy by us. And difficult to eat. But oh, so tasty. --- The Book of Shrigley by David Shrigley Chronicle Books By Carolyn Tripp The sentiment resulting from observing artist neurosis can be more a strange mixture of vexation than the oft-supposed fascination. Beyond any interesting work and existential conundrums, I don't think I could suffer through the conversation offered by somebody whose presence isn't half as enthralling as his work. And what would be the point of inviting him to a dinner party, anyway? He'd just stand around and mope in the corner, eh?
