NEW VAMPIRE WEEKEND VIDEO RIPS OFF AAKASH NIHALANI
Hype aside, we”ve never been huge advocates of Vampire Weekend. While their new album, Contra is getting serious praise, their new seizure inducing video for the track “couzin”, totally rips off our friend Aakash Nihalani’s signature box art. When we first saw the video, we thought maybe Aakash had given the band consent to use his […]

MAGKINETIC DRAWINGS
One of the key elements of Aakash Nihalani’s physical street-level art is that it engages the viewer, making them more than just a viewer but rather an active agent in the artwork itself. The photo documentation of his work shows how the installations transform with each individual’s reaction and interaction with them, so it’s not […]
