Stefan Simchowitz (born in Johannesburg, South Africa on October 8, 1970) is the Los Angeles-based art collector, art curator, and art advisor. He is a vocal proponent of social media as a legitimate vector for discovering, distributing, and popularizing the fine arts, primarily using Facebook and Instagram as platforms for self-promotion, discovering new artists, and endorsing those he already manages.
Simchowitz believes that conversations on social media hold a degree of influence over the artworld comparable to other canonical forums for artistic discussion and legitimization, including art reviews written by critics for key publications. Supporters see his method as concerned with diversifying the number of systems which recognize and produce credible artists. A number of them, including, but not limited to Sterling Ruby, Oscar Murillo, Lucien Smith, Petra Cortright, Zachary Armstrong, Kour Pour, Jon Rafman, and Mark Horowitz have all been advised by Stefan Simchowitz. In November 2015, he was ranked #95 in Art Review Magazine's POWER 100, a list of 2015's "most influential people in the contemporary artworld."
The Art (sometimes stylised as THEART) are an Australian Alternative Rock band based in Sydney. They began performing under the name The Follow in 2004. Tasmanian band leader Azaria Byrne was known as an unsuccessful contestant on the reality television series Popstars.
Early highlights for the band's career have been supporting successful bands such as the Pixies, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, Sonic Youth and Thirty Seconds to Mars as late as 2010, however this was marred by the crowd booing and calls to "get off the stage".
As band leader Azaria Byrne enters middle age success has so far eluded him despite media attention resulting from his being cuckolded by the even older fading celebrity Bill Corgan.
The other band members have all been described as "dull" but this could also be a result of the attention seeking behavior of their singer.
Los Angeles (i/lɒs ˈændʒəlᵻs/ loss AN-jə-ləs or loss AN-jə-liss) (Spanish for "The Angels"), officially the City of Los Angeles and often known by its initials L.A., is the second-largest city in the United States after New York City, the most populous city in the state of California, and the county seat of Los Angeles County.
Situated in Southern California, Los Angeles is known for its mediterranean climate, ethnic diversity, sprawling metropolis, and as a major center of the American entertainment industry. Los Angeles lies in a large coastal basin surrounded on three sides by mountains reaching up to and over 10,000 feet (3,000 m).
Historically home to the Chumash and Tongva, Los Angeles was claimed by Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo for Spain in 1542 along with the rest of what would become Alta California. The city was officially founded on September 4, 1781, by Spanish governor Felipe de Neve. It became a part of Mexico in 1821 following the Mexican War of Independence. In 1848, at the end of the Mexican–American War, Los Angeles and the rest of California were purchased as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, thereby becoming part of the United States. Los Angeles was incorporated as a municipality on April 4, 1850, five months before California achieved statehood. The city experienced rapid growth with the discovery of oil.
Stefan may refer to:
Art is a diverse range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing artifacts – artworks, expressing the author's imaginative or technical skill, intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power. In their most general form these activities include the production of works of art, the criticism of art, the study of the history of art, and the aesthetic dissemination of art.
The oldest form of art are visual arts, which include creation of images or objects in fields including painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and other visual media. Architecture is often included as one of the visual arts; however, like the decorative arts, it involves the creation of objects where the practical considerations of use are essential—in a way that they usually are not in a painting, for example. Music, theatre, film, dance, and other performing arts, as well as literature and other media such as interactive media, are included in a broader definition of art or the arts. Until the 17th century, art referred to any skill or mastery and was not differentiated from crafts or sciences. In modern usage after the 17th century, where aesthetic considerations are paramount, the fine arts are separated and distinguished from acquired skills in general, such as the decorative or applied arts.

What does an art gallery do for an artist? What fuels the global expansion of galleries like Gagosian and White Cube? And how has the internet affected the way galleries do business? In the second installment of “The Art Market Series (in Four Parts),” we look at the complex ecosystem of commercial galleries to probe these questions—and get to the root of how galleries effectively steward artists’ careers, promote their work, and protect their markets. Gallerists, artists, and art-world influencers like Amalia Dayan, Daniella Luxembourg, Dominique Lévy, Michele Maccarone, Elmgreen & Dragset, Josh Baer, Stefan Simchowitz, and Sarah Thornton provide their insights. Galleries is the second installment of a four-part documentary series, preceded by Auctions and followed by Patrons and Art Fai...

The cornerstone of Portugal Arte 10 EDP is a series of public art projects that are installed throughout downtown Lisbon. Three distinct areas, Chiado, Baixa, and Avenida Liberdade, host these works. Los Angeles-based architects Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee of JohnstonMarkLee architectural firm were instrumental in examining these areas defining characteristics and placing the works of art in ways which either reinforce the urban condition, or challenges it by creating a new way of experiencing a neighborhood.

KIRAC Ep.2 'Niet op deze manier' Maak kennis met de tweede aflevering van 'Keeping It Real Art Critics', de experimentele cultuurbeschouwing die ik met Kate Sinha ontwikkel. Een aflevering over integriteit, ambitie en goede bedoelingen. Filmmaker Isabel Lamberti en producent Steven Rubinstein zijn aan het scouten naar 3 meisjes die veel met seks bezig zijn. Ze gaan daarvoor op zoek naar zwarte meisjes in de Bijlmer. Wij beginnen vragen te stellen en kritiek te leveren. Steven en Isabel zijn ontdaan over de manier waarop deze dialectiek gestalte krijgt. Ineens worden zij het onderwerp van beschouwing, in plaats van de meisjes die ze aan het scouten zijn. Een uiterst moralistische aflevering, waarin wij een statement maken over het maken van fictiefilm en documentaire. Het project waaro...

Kate points at taboo in this narrative, and explores it. We are also very much interested in the psychology of Harvey Weinstein. And we want him to produce a film about him, that we will make.

Recorded March 3, 2017, in Timken Lecture Hall on the San Francisco campus of California College of the Arts (CCA). Manthia Diawara was born in Mali, West Africa. Diawara was educated in Guinea-Conakry, Bamako (Mali), and Paris before emigrating to the United States to pursue his studies. Diawara will reflect on the work of the American artist David Hammons in the context of a year-long series of events organized by the Wattis Institute about and around the work of said artist. More specifically, he will focus on Sheep Raffle, the artist's contribution to the Dak’Art Biennial in Senegal in 2004 and will reflect on how Hammons’ work approaches myth, intuition, opacity, and the affinities it shares with the idea of the poet/philosopher Edouard Glissant. Diawara is a prolific writer and f...
