Huffington Post: Allison Schulnik Interview: The Impasto-Happy Artist Talks California, Procrastination And Scary Clowns (PHOTOS)

Posted: 02 Mar 2013 06:56 AM PST

Allison Schulnik's artworks depict a cast of mangled outsiders that exist somewhere between the circus and the cemetery. If the sugary story lines of bedtime tales morphed into twisted nightmares overnight, we imagine the result would resemble Schulnik's visceral concoctions.

Through paintings, sculptures and animated films, Schulnik creates alternate worlds where skeletons appear to be built of frosting and worn flesh drips off the bone like overcooked meat. Hobos, wizards and questionable clowns are as suspicious as they are pathetic. Yet the leading character in most of Schulnik's works is the material itself, paint layered on in so much excess it acquires a life of its own. Whether the gobs of paint brings Schulnik's subjects to life or devours them whole remains in question, yet it's nearly impossible to imagine Schulnik's hopeless creatures in any state besides this slow-moving goop.

For her first museum exhibition "ex•pose," Schulnik presents a selection of her most disarming works along with her three animated films "Hobo Clown" (2008), "Forest" (2009) and "Mound" (2011). In anticipation of the exhibition we reached out to Schulnik to learn more about her process and life outside her work. Scroll down for an image slideshow.

Huffington Post: U.S. To Send Aid To Syria Rebels: Syria, Iran Accuse Washington Of 'Double Standards'

Posted: 02 Mar 2013 07:01 AM PST

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — The Syrian and Iranian foreign ministers on Saturday accused the United States of double standards over the Obama administration's decision to provide aid to rebels fighting to topple President Bashar Assad, saying this will only prolong the conflict.

The remarks were the first official statements from Iran and Syria following U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry's announcement this week that Washington will provide, for the first time, non-lethal aid directly to Syria's rebels, in addition to $60 million in assistance to Syria's political opposition.

Speaking at a joint press conference in Tehran, Syria's Walid al-Moallem and his Iranian counterpart, Ali Akbar Salehi, stressed that whether Assad stays or goes will be decided in presidential elections scheduled for next year.
