Picture This
Among the many galleries that close shop for the summer months, few are as considerate of their fans as Articule (262 Fairmount), who have decorated their window with a mind-blowingly beautiful work for the duration of their break, for our viewing pleasure. Created by artist duo Alaska B and Ruby Kato Attwood, Konami Komando is an installation that parodies a cultural death-and-birth cycle of the artists' personal Asian identities in North America. The intention is to create a fully crafted pop-up cartoon universe that confronts the viewer with a reimagined videogame-scape and a fractured narrative derived from pop-culture Asian references. All I can say is wow.

It must be stated that this paper's feature is usually a waste of space that one feels is just there to fill in some sort of graphics quota but this week, the picture is actually surreal and what it's plugging is cool so kudos for getting something right, Hour.
