Visited the good old GS on Monday, they have some interesting stuff in the works going on currently:

Trenton Doyle Hancock: Does these weird narratives that he constructs on his own. I was most perplexed and intrigued by his bucket of pepto-bismol, except that it's just the color of PB. It's actually these ground up organism things that these strange refugee apes eat , and then hallucinate on. Oh, and then he has this crazy ass wallpaper he's working on. Same ape and pink motifs, but the glow in the dark, and are going to be 30' by 70'.

AND

Christian Marclay has two projects going on, on based on comic book onomatopoeia, and another on these rather beautiful cyanotypes of old cassette tapes. It's a rather strange but unique process where he is making unique prints, 35 in all, by contact printing a cassette tape, and more importantly, the magnetic tape inside, all strewn about in a sort of continuous line drawing.

google up, kids.

p.s. The seeds are coming, and they have something to say.
