Last week, I took photos of graffiti in Alexandria. Similar to the graffiti around Tahrir Square (and all across the country), these aerosol-scrawled messages play an important role in the political conflict. Both sides use the street discourse to promote their cause, intimidate opponents, and voice outrage. In some ways, the art form parallels graffiti’s […]
A few years ago, Kanye West had commissioned George Condo to create a series of paintings featuring “the characters who populate his musical fantasies” for Kanye’s album “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.” He also commissioned a few limited edition silk scarves. Now, along with the help of Parisian publisher M/M, the collaborators produced a series of five screen-printed silk scarves […]
The cartoon-inspired work of the young and nationally recognized Austrian street artist NYCHOS is the subject of a recently opened solo exhibition at Brooklyn’s own Mighty Tanaka art gallery. The show, titled ‘Silly Slicesophy‘ features a selection from the artist’s latest body of work–– in which he focuses mainly on depicting some of Disney’s most instantly recognized […]
Yesterday, the new photography app Belowrez became available. At this point many of our beloved photography apps have become a dime-a-dozen sort of ordeal, offering little more than the option to make your photographs look like they were taken with a terrible camera, perhaps underwater, or quite possibly taken in a different century altogether.

Contemporary artist Richard Prince curated an exhibition of twenty-one paintings and works on paper by British artist Stuart Sutcliffe. Referred to by many as “the fifth Beatle,” Sutcliffe’s brief stint as an early member of historic rock band The Beatles have always seemed to overshadow his own accomplishments as a visual artist. According to art critic Donald […]
Erica Simone created quite a stir in 2011 with her “Nue York: Self-Portraits of a Bare Urban Citizen” photo series that featured her doing every day things around the city while posing completely nude. And apparently it’s not over yet. “To celebrate two more years of a work in progress on my project…I am finally […]
“I’m so excited to be on Fifth Avenue,” says CLAW gleefully to me as she stands outside of Lord and Taylor on Thursday evening. The graffiti bomber turned fashion designer was waiting for the luxe department store to unveil the backdrops they commissioned her to create for their main window displays. Moments later, one of […]
Located on East First Street off of First Avenue, the Centre-fuge Public Art Project is a rotating outdoor gallery featuring work by mostly street artists. Every two months, new artists are invited to paint a construction office trailer that has been occupying the block as part of the constructions of the Second Avenue Subway. It’s […]
An artist who realizes that he can get press every time he paints a naked person is currently out painting naked people (with the help of assistants). Here’s some photos live from the scene at 53rd Street and Broadway of male and female models who have agreed to bare it all for the sake of […]
