Shut Up, Crime!

The Crimson Bolt and Boltie (Rainn Wilson and Ellen Page) protect Austin from jaywalking, public urination and unlawful dumping (of trash) during SXSW 2011. Actually, they were in costume to promote the screening of their new movie SUPER just down the street. The guys from Reverse Shot had a ball making this mini-mockumentary on the fly. Thanks for sharing the fun!

The Saatchi 100

“Art that was “”headbuttingly impossible to ignore”" is how Charles Saatchi describes the work that intrigued him as he started to collect British art in the early 1990s. Damien Hirst’s giant shark in formaldehyde, Tracey Emin’s unmade bed and a chilling portrait of Myra Hindley by Marcus Harvey are among the artworks that have since become icons of the decade. The Saatchi Gallery, now in the former County Hall in London, is a permanent home for a changing selection of Saatchi’s world-famous collection. The Saatchi Gallery 100 is a fast-paced and fascinating film featuring one hundred of these artworks, accompanied by reflections and anecdotes from the artists themselves. Sarah Lucas’ confrontational self-portraits are among the highlights, as are the bold paintings of Gary Hume, photographs by Richard Billingham, sculptures of genetically mutated children by Jake and Dinos Chapman, and many more. Like the collection itself, the film offers a unique understanding of why London has become the centre of the international art world over the past decade – and how art in Britain continues to surprise and challenge and delight.”
