    FINE LINE: GRAFFITI ART AND PUBLIC SPACE:

    A Conversation with Jacob Kimvall and Carlos “Mare 139” Rodriguez

    As graffiti in New York City is increasingly criminalized, in other parts of the world Graffiti’s rawest and finest elements are finding their way into public spaces and major arts institutions recognizing the contributions of street art on popular culture and everyday cultural aesthetics. The conversation will explore the work of Carlos “Mare 139” Rodriguez and his evolving relationship to public space, galleries and the media also the work of art historian Jacob Kimvall, based in Stockholm, Sweden Mr. Kimvall has been working with various municipalities to preserve critical public spaces with historical significance for the Swedish Graffiti movement.

    We humbly ask that you join us for what we hope is the beginning of a meaningful conversation around the historical implications of New York City’s Graffiti movement and how that visual arts culture is alive and thriving today.

    In nine years Hip-Hop Theater Festival (HHTF) has grown into one of the most important outlets showcasing Hip-Hop arts in the country, featuring dance, theater, performance, the visual arts and music devoted to urban culture.

  • I like NIKE but wait a minute…

    August 6th 09, 15:44

    The neighborhood supports so put some money $$$ in it! I recently saw some Nike shoes in a shop and swore they were designed by Eric Haze, but they werent. With further inspection I learned that NIKE did not commission the shoe but blatantly ripped off one of the very artists it has collaborated with in the past. ‘How fucked up is that’. The throw off was that they used some very tangy colors on the design which was suspect from the jump and the styling looks bootleg at best.

    It is apparent to me that even if someone as respected in the game as Haze can get plagiarized by his own former client there is cause for concern. Guard your grill.

  • 2010 Chevy Camaro -American-Australian Car Design-Performance

    August 2nd 09, 14:59

    Great design, passion and collaboration yield results of high standards, the 2010 Chevy Camaro is an American/Australian result of such pursuits. I like cars a lot, specifically car design and function. I am writing about this car because I just saw one parked outside my crib and it stopped me in my tracks. I had seen press photos and liked it but nothing more than that. In person though its really nice, feels different than its cousins, this one is grown up and staunch, it has muscle written on it but not all over it, its in the middle of muscle and sports car. The design lines are clean, they make sense to the eye, its overall stance was great not too low and grounded and not long and aggressive like the Vette. I had to walk around it twice to be sure I was liking it as much as I did. It was a simple car too, I think the one I saw was base price model which is not bad at all, I imagine the SS version and custom ones will push the design even further.

    Its also interesting to note how it got its performance from an engineering from Holden in Australia. This kind of global development is whats amazing about how this car was developed, though not uncommon in the industry, the remaking of a classic icon abroad was once an unthinkable suggestion.
