Everything Is Grey Again

2010-05-13T00:23:00.000-07:00

4 years ago,me & my m8s,got into tha stencil mood.We started bombin our neighborhood every week under the name 'Almost Legal'.Unfortunately the mayor(a big time fasist) was against all this street art thing and so our 'hits' lived only for a couple of days.So the reason of this post is pure sentimental....just to remember those days,or...maybe....because i feel like my hand is ''itching'' me....

THE DESIGN HOTELS™ FUTURE FORUM 2010

2010-04-02T09:37:00.000-07:00

The Design Hotels™ Future Forum 2010 will focus on „Hybrid Thinking“ in the context of hospitality. Hybrid thinking requires much more than a multidisciplinary team – it requires a team of multidisciplinary people. Hybrid thinkers blend different skills and fields of thought to develop innovative concepts. Their ideas have the ability to shape entire industries from automotive to hospitality. Like-minded, visionary hoteliers around the globe have started to create hybrid properties that go far beyond the original purpose of simply providing a bed.

Multidimensional hotel concepts focusing on authentic experiences are on the rise, combining elements from galleries, hospitals or film theatres with the classic idea of hospitality. Find out more at this year`s Design Hotels™ Future Forum.

RUNNING

2010-02-23T01:20:00.000-08:00

Dedicated to Garia August ....
(words by Gill Scott-Heron)

Because I always feel like running
Not away, because there is no such place
Because, if there was I would have found it by now
Because it's easier to run, Easier than staying and finding out you're the only one...who didn't run
Because running will be the way your life and mine will be described
As in "the long run"
Or as in having given someone a "run for his money"
Or as in "running out of time"
Because running makes me look like everyone else,
Though I hope there will ever be cause for that
Because I will be running in the other direction,
Not running for cover
Because if I knew where cover was, I would stay there and never have to run for it
Not running for my life,
Because I have to be running for something of more value
To be running and not in fear
Because the thing I fear cannot be escaped, eluded, avoided,
Hidden from, protected from, gotten away from,
Not without showing the fear as I see it now
Because closer, clearer, no sir, nearer
Because of you and because of that nice
That you quietly, quickly be causing
And because you're going to see me run soon
And because you're going to know why I'm running then
You'll know then
Because I'm not going to tell you now

VIA TATE MODERN

HUSH x DAN BALDWIN

2009-12-11T02:57:00.001-08:00

From the Press Release:
"Hush's work has been described as a sensory assault of shape, color, and character. Inspired by the portrayal of the female form in art, the artist builds up and tears down layers of paint and images as he works, 'letting the canvas and marks take their own path.' The result is an enigmatic synthesis of anime, pop-infused imagery, graffiti, and graphic design that exposes the conflict between power and decay, innocence and sexuality, and the fusion of Eastern and Western culture.

Hush continues to evolve his style with this latest batch of pieces, which merges his early anime and pop-art influenced graffiti technique with an exploration of Romanesque iconographic imagery. The new works are bigger, deeper and richer than anything he has produced to date."
