Renters Rights are a bit of a mystery in NYC.
Flash cards are simple, factual games for memorizing/reference.
Funny how the best ideas are always simple. Bravo!

Tomaszewski and why we're all pussies...

Henryk Tomaszewski, the famous Polish poster designer, continued to make posters during WW2 and the German occupation of Poland. During this time, while materials were very scarce, Henryk continued to create with just paper, scissors and some ink. He created his signature style from this period and continued to make his epic theatre posters until his death in 2005.

I am reminded warmly of Henryk's soul, everytime Adobe and Mac release some redesign of a product or software.

Los Carpinteros in Chelsea

Link: http://www.artcal.net/event/view/1/6670

"The exhibition, La Montaña Rusa, consists of a new work of the same name, which alludes to both a roller coaster and a bed, juxtaposed with other new sculptures and a group of drawings. The exhibition investigates Los Carpinteros' interest in objects of domesticity, as exemplified by items such as beds, swimming pools and shelves...." Google them and try to find the PBS piece on Cuban art. Los Carpinteros get extra love for "reclaiming" most of their early materials from the vacant mansions in Cuba.

This one's for the dreamers....

Link: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/10/arts/music/10phil.html

Wow, truly one of those powerful moments of art. Forget embargos, isolation and name calling (axis of evil anyone?), this just goes to show that art is the universal language, the universal love and can really bring people together...and all that stuff dreamers believe in. Seems like the arts should get some of that sweet defense budget spending?

Mark Jenkins///street art

Link: http://www.xmarkjenkinsx.com/outside.html

Whaaaat! Check this site. While Melody Weir was behind the helm of Emergency Arts, Mark had left these babies made from tape that I came across on the 3rd floor one day. I wasn't sure what was to come of those creepy little translucent babes and I just (finally) visited Mark's site. Anyhow, check it--good for an existentialist look on life, on consumerism, and for cheeky street installations.
