Insta-Peep-o-Gram: World, Meet Rick Schaier

By Jenny Bahn

One of my favorite things about Instagram is “discovering” new people. You start off with a mutual friend (or, in some cases, a band or an artist you follow), and through them you find like-minded friends of friends. Instagram can be truly a beautiful rabbit hole if you know how to navigate it correctly.

One such discovery was Rick Schaier (aka @victoriancow). He repeatedly came up in scrolls through my friend’s feed, Charlie Brand of the band Miniature Tigers, which, as it turns out, Schaier plays for. In addition to playing for Miniature Tigers and managing his solo project, Alvin Band, Schaier is a wonderful digital artist. Having grown up painting on canvas with acrylics, he now does more with his iPhone, making collages and paintings using apps like Brushes and Juxtaposer. Rick Schaier is a dynamic and interesting fellow, all of which is reflected on his Instagram — a must-follow, in my opinion.

Get Ready for Frieze

By Jauretsi

In anticipation of the opening of Frame 2012 at the Frieze London next week, AnOthermag.com has created in an exclusive short film in collaboration with artist Sarah Beeby and COS. The video is very inspired… with references to ideas, aesthetics and working processes of the artists and the fashion brand COS. If you’ve never heard of Frieze, get to know it. With a bevy of guests including art lovers, collectors, and gallerists, it is considered a mecca for art enthusiasts. The lovely part of this gathering is the quality of talent curated globally. Supported by COS for the past three years, Frame at Frieze London is solely focused on young solo artist presentations. Since it began in 2009, it has shown emerging worldwide creatives, none of who has been a practising artist for more than six years.

Frieze London returns to Regents Park, London from the October 11 – 14.
