Pauline Rochas and Carole Beaupré are two young New York
photographers. They opened their studio, Coolife, in 2000. They specialize in still lives for the luxury industry. They participated in Art Basel Miami, Scope and Pulse. They wrote their diary with four hands.
“It was our first time at Art Basel and it made a big impression.
We both felt so overwhelmed by the amount of incredibly fabulous art being shown ranging from video installations, paintings, sculptures, & photography.
Perhaps the most dangerous brutal image was Ryan McGinley’s Turken and Tampon.
“the turkin in between the girl’s legs, with the tampon hanging out of her vagina. It’s a kind of gross side of physicality that I’ve never really dealt with before” says the artist about his work.
Like the turkin I shot—it’s a hybrid of a turkey and a chicken—it was so punk rock. It had so much attitude”
We loved Lynda Benglis notorious advertisement from the November 1974 issue of Artforum, where she appears nude with slicked back hair holding a dildo between her legs, it is still shockingly strong. Even though it’s been written about ad nauseum and reproduced a zillion times, it still packs a punch in person.
We stumbled across Willem Oorebeek’s MORE ELLE ELLE @ Robert Miller Gallery.
