Mamasita wound up at the Humble Animal Control and delivered eight beautiful puppies. She is a great mom, trying to keep her babies safe. Sadly, the Humble Animal Control does not adopt out pit bulls. Humble is located a few miles north of Houston, Texas.

Acid Burned Dog Delivers 8 Puppies: all to die

Buffalo, NY-based sculptor, Bethany Krull’s intricately quirky porcelain and mixed media animal sculptures.

The human species’ relationship with the creatures it has turned into companions is the subject of her current series entitled Dominance and Affection.  According to Krull:

“In increasingly urbanized and nature-deprived societies around the world the most intimate connection with the natural world tends to be with plants and animals that have been drastically altered through the process of domestication. Wild animals have been turned into pets, genetically sculpted into sweeter, cuter, less dangerous versions of themselves, permanently altered by mans effort to fulfill their own need for relentless love, assistance, amusement and companionship.”

On May 2, famed NYC-based photographer Ryan McGinley is set to open a new exhibition at TEAM Gallery in NYC entitled, Animals. Running until Jun 2, the exhibition is his first and will feature color studio portraits of live animals with nude models.  According to the TEAM website: This body of work has two starkly contrasting sides, epitomized by two of the photographs on view. In the comical Dakota (Marmoset), a tiny monkey hangs from a male model’s pubic hair, partly obscuring his genitals. The human legs and torso are covered in scratches and the marmoset stares directly at the camera, wearing an expression of apparent shock. In Parakeets, a flock of lushly colored birds tears across a blue background while a girl, face obscured by a blurred green and white wing, stretches out her arms in an imitation of flight. The barroom roughhouse of the former and dulcet elegance of the latter act as the exhibition’s counterweights. Where the first piece is grotesque and lascivious, as humorous as it is horrifying, the other — a gushing moment of poetic beauty — strikes a profound emotional and visual harmony. High-res

”From here  to ear (version 15)” by French musician and composer Céleste Boursier-Mougenot is showing at the HangarBicocca gallery’s Cube in Milan until Dec 4. 

I prefer to call this widely acclaimed exhibition of his “the Rock’n’Roll Birds.”

Céleste adds percussion to his previous use of electric guitars and zebra finches. The beauty of it is, without even being aware of it, the birds create some wonderful audio pieces, simply by flying around and eating the seeds that are placed on the instruments.
