On with the (Street Art) Show !
Posted on | July 2, 2009 | No Comments
Action! That’s what is happening in the street art scene in New York,
despite the wretched economy and artists losing their dayjobs, and galleries of all types dreaming up new innovative ways to stay afloat, the street art keeps coming.
In one week only (the week we lost Michael Jackson) we hit only a few of the events going on that featured street artists - we’re considering rollerskates and interns at this point - and even if you can’t afford it, you feel rich! Plus the refreshments are usually free… just don’t take it on the street or you get a ticket.

There is Know Hope in Chelsea
Posted on | June 30, 2009 | No Comments
Cool dude Know Hope from Tel Aviv is in town and was was out last night at an approved spot by the Chelsea Hotel and the “Empty No Longer” gallery putting up a new piece. Thanks to Chris Stain for catching a couple pics for us.
- The preliminary blocking by Know Hope (photo Chris Stain)
His character, showing up in singles and multiples throughout his work is always going through different stages, stumbling around, observing, breaking, healing, peering inward.
- Know Hope reaching into his heart as time goes by. (photo Chris Stain)
Tall, thin, and uncomfortable, the gangly character interacts with his world awkwardly, looking for answers we’re not sure he’s found yet. Sometimes a copy of him helps him to heal or props up and supports him as he stumbles and limps through scenes of sadness and even horror.
In almost every case, the character’s heart figures prominently as something to be referenced, to be taken care of.
