Paul and Damon McCarthy’s Rebel Babble Dabble

Paul McCarthy and his son Damon are presenting a steady flow of shocking material in their show Rebel Babbale Dabble at Chelsea’s Hauser and Wirth. Just as you might expect from McCarthy, the Rebel Without a Cause inspired installation features James Franco spanking Paul, plenty of domestic abuse, and unglorified pornography.

If you're looking for more, Paul is also exhibiting at the uptown Hauser and Wirth and the Park Avenue Armory.

Not Over: 25 Years of Visual AIDS, installation view

Take a moment to read this review of 25 Years of Visual AIDS by the New York Times.

Visual AIDS was one of the first national initiatives to record the impact of the AIDS pandemic on the artistic community. This contemporary arts organization since its inception has been and continues to be committed to AIDS awareness and HIV prevention. The exhibition "Not Over: 25 Years of Visual AIDS" at La MaMa Galleria depicts the damage this disease has done to the artistic community and what it continues to do. The fight is not over.

If you would like to get involved, check out Visual AIDS website and be sure to visit the exhibition on display through June 30th.

And remember Art. AIDS. Action.

Jeff Koons has taken over Chelsea! Koons is exhibiting in two different shows at Gagosian Gallery and David Zwirner Gallery. He is exploring the big questions surrounding fame, money, and sex (as usual). These shows are very different, so make sure to check out both!

And he’s not done…

There will be a Koons retrospective at the Whitney in the summer of 2014!
