Wireless brings together an international group of artists, residing in New York, Los Angeles, London, Geneva, St. Gallen, and Santa Barbara, whose work is concerned with radio transmission. Conceived in honor of the 50th anniversary of local independent radio station KCSB, the artists featured in Wireless use the medium of radio as a jumping off point to consider how individuals convey ideas, memories, and information across distances long and short.
Wireless is organized by NY-based curator Elizabeth Lovero, formerly both a KCSB DJ and CAF Assistant Curator. While all their practices are grounded in a consideration of radio, the exhibited artists work in diverse mediums: from sculptural installations to drawings; from photography to video and sound. Included in the exhibition are Francis Baudevin, Dove Bradshaw, Nathan Carter, Tyler Coburn, Melissa Dubbin and Aaron S. Davidson, Ellie Ga, Nicolas Lobo, Neighborhood Public Radio, Marko Peljhan and Matthew Beiderman, Daniel Perlin, Roman Signer, and Jim Toth.

Album Graphics
A book, published by [NAME] publications.
Available now from [NAME]
“Album Graphics documents Nicolas Lobo’s temporary engagement with the Go-Go scene. For a year, Lobo worked as a complete outsider, offering free graphic design services to Go-Go bands and promoters. Because of the informal nature of Go-Go recording and distribution, the graphic identity of Go-Go is spread across a variety of mediums, from T-shirts and Twitter page layouts to jewel box sized .jpg files and animated .gif files culled from VHS tapes. Lobo’s attempts to produce album covers, concert flyers, myspace layouts and other graphic designs were met with varying levels of success and acceptance by the Go-Go scene. The results of his efforts, which marry Lobo’s signature scribbling with some version of the visual language native to the Go-Go scene, along with chat room threads and emails generated during the design process, are the contents of this book. Part hyper-extended liner notes for a non-existent album, part ethnographic coffee table book gone awry, “album graphics” settles in a third place: neither of the Go-Go scene nor entirely outside of it.”
Album Graphics is the third volume in [NAME] Publications’ Miami Artists Series.

On the Pleasure of Hating
At Lisa Cooley
July 9 – August 22, 2009
On the Pleasure of Hating: Love turns, with a little indulgence, to indifference or disgust; hatred alone is immortal, curated by David Hunt
Soylent Green Bust (2009).
From the press release:
“The exhibition, “On the Pleasure of Hating,” takes as its conceptual and thematic launching point William Hazlitt’s 1823 essay of the same name. Originally published in The Plain Speaker, a journal that did much to cement Hazlitt’s reputation as both innovator and primary exponent of the “familiar” or “personal” essay, I was instantly attracted to the English critic’s tone of wise equanimity, the general mood of resignation writ large in every one of his paragraphs. Hatred, after all, needs no introduction; its mere incantation perfectly approximates its heated emotional tenor. But miraculously, a man for whom every relationship – wife, daughter, mistress, friends, colleagues – succumbed to the kind of emotional entropy Hazlitt describes so well in his essay, seemed to write with a calm, retrospective clarity absent any lingering resentment.”
Miami Noir
April 4 – May 10, 2009
Curated by Adriana Farietta
DEA/Macrame (2009), shown at Miami Noir.
From the press release:
“Miami is a vacationland built and rebuilt on the promise of international glamor and endless pleasure. But the artists who call Miami home have always known better. The work of Miami Noir depicts a darker city, more menacing, seductive but forbidding, a murky metropolis obscured for a time by new money, but which we now know will long outlast it. A city conjured up out of the Florida swampland by ruthless ambition and criminal enterprise.”

From the press release:
“Featuring a group of international artists working in a variety of media, the exhibition explores the poetic and philosophical sides of science fiction literature. These artists approach science fiction as a genre that provides diversion from the banality of everyday life, making our current dreams and anxieties more spectacular. The Possibility of an Island examines fantasies for the future, which reveal desires to escape pressing social and political concerns. Covering themes from habitation and technology to fear and hope,the exhibition illustrates the present time through extraordinary treatments of the past, present, and future.
Artists featured in the exhibition include: Cory Arcangel; Davide Balula; Tobias Bernstrup; Heman Chong; Peter Coffin; Matias Faldbakken; Cao Fei; Kim Fisher; Claire Fontaine; K48; Chris Kraus; Cristina Lei Rodriguez; Nicolas Lobo; Martin Oppel; Philip (a novel written by Mark Aerial Waller, Heman Chong, Cosmin Costinas, Rosemary Heather, Leif Magne Tangen, Francis McKee, David Reinfurt, and Steve Rushton); Lisi Raskin; Julika Rudelius; and Mungo Thomson.”
Whitehot | July 2008, Interview with Nicolas Lobo
Industry of Luxury: Nicolas Lobo on Miami Art an interview with Thomas Hollingworth.
Interview excerpt:
“TH: What else is specific to Miami?
NL: Liquor sponsorship. 10 Cane, Grolsch, Bacardi, Hennessey. Miami is a lab for lifestyle marketing. Luxury marketing strategies get tried out here early on. We are privy to a lot of strange product placement strategies. For example you can have a piss broke party, absolutely full of bums and its sponsored by blue label – its fucking weird, but, on the up side you never have to pay for a drink.
TH: Can you expand on the luxury marketing strategy? Would you say that it’s true for artists as well? That they can use the currents of Miami as career stepping stones?
NL: The premise of Miami, or its main product that we sell is luxury lifestyle.”
