    Never for Sale

    In 1979 I painted about 40 hummingbirds on exterior locations in lower Manhattan. An experience I’ve never recovered from. Every year I do another street project but I don’t think I’ll ever get to the bottom of the possibilities I stumbled upon with those birds. For years I engaged in a pretty standard street art message-in-a-bottle type of dialogue. Lately though, with the new spirit on the public commons, I’ve been amping it up.

    Things are getting a bit sticky. Two of the world’s best tape artists, Mark Jenkins and Aakash Nihalani, have been busy fashioning new abstract installation work. The results are splendid. (Juxtapoz, January 8, 2010)

    Molding the Tenacious

    Composed with the intent to create a sort of survival guide for humanity, Federico Diaz’s collection of work for his exhibition Adhesion at Frederieke Taylor Gallery, explores relationships between the natural world and our ever-evolving manufactured world, through a range of different mediums, all asserting a heavy inference of one side outweighing the other.

    Will Steacy:
    There was a single experience in my life which had the most profound effect on me and from that night on, I vowed to devote my life to this thing inside me. In 2003 I was almost murdered in a robbery.

    A Subversionary’s Monologue

    I’m Nigel Tomm—the most famous artist in the world. Some blah had already blah the blah by blah blah, and blah its blah by the blah that blah, blah blah, and all my blah, save blah who blah to tell the blah, had been blah to blah at the blah of the blah by a whole blah of wild blah.
