JR SIDEWALK GALLERY
The idea of art on streets isn't something new. It's been around for decades, if not centuries. In cities like New York, you can't a walk a street without seeing something on the sides of the street - graffiti (which ...
SPECTROPOLIS: MOBILE MEDIA, ART AND THE CITY

COUNTER CONVENTION
I thought about reporting something relevant these days here: an opening, a concert, some event. However, things seems pretty quiet and lame this summer (which actually feels more like autumn). In fact, the landsca...

STEVE POWERS “MY LIST OF DEMANDS”

THE ARMORY SHOW 2004
The lingering smell of beef quesadilla and chili from our rushed lunch filled the freight elevator as we waited to get into the Armory Show on a blustery March day in New York City. While standing in line to purchase ...

NEW YORK BLACKOUT 2003
It was a bit after 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I had stepped out of my work office to run some errands and was about to go back into the building. As I walked through the doorway, all the lights in the building seemed...
100 ARTISTS 100 T-SHIRTS
