AlterEgo – The Movie

I watched this movie last night…and I am incredibly impressed with Daniel’s work. It all really came together and it’s a solid piece of documentation. This movie is a robust view of the art form, its history and its current perils. It’s exciting, informative, absorbing and personal. I love it, can you tell? If graffiti is somehow part of your life, you need to watch this. No, actually, everyone should. The DVD is available here.

I’ve been waiting for this moment for a while now. My good friend Daniel has finished his film. He has traveled the world to capture great graffiti artists doing their work. I am so proud of him and this will be a kick ass movie. If you happen to be in Berlin, go to the premiere. If you are stuck at work (like me), check out the website alterego-themovie.com.

a MoMA rendezvous

MoMA opened its doors tonight for its members, and I took advantage of it. There are a few new exhibits and lots of new work. I took photos and documented some of my favorites and a few that stood out… all on my flickr under the ‘museum trips’ set (most recent pictures at the bottom). Here are a few highlights…

NYC Subway + MoMA

what a great ideaaaaaaa… Museums/Galleries should do this everywhere and more often. The MoMA is advertising solely at the Brooklyn subway stop of Atlantic Pacific until March 15th. This is not just an ordinary ad… this is a complete take over and i LOVE it. check out the cool website and take some photos if you happen to be there.

From the website:In a gift to the city’s subway riders, MoMA takes over Brooklyn’s Atlantic Avenue/Pacific Street subway station, filling the station with reproductions of over 50 works of art in the MoMA collection. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, walk through the station to see images of works by Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, Charles Eames, Cindy Sherman, Andy Warhol, and many other great artists, filmmakers, and designers.

Band of Outsiders show

got to take a peek at the band of outsiders show on canal & broadway. I’ve never really seen this kind of set-up to showcase a collection. But I did enjoy the gallery vibe versus the chaotic runway show I’ve experienced before. I took a few photos if you’re interested.

William Eggleston at the Whitney

aaaah!!!!!! one of my favorites…William Eggleston is currently at the Whitney until Jan 25th. I love love lovvve his work… This exhibit includes 50 years of his photographs and videos from many of his road trips across America.




‘One of the most influential photographers of the last half-century, William Eggleston has defined the history of color photography. This exhibition is the artist’s first retrospective in the United States and includes both his color and black-and-white photographs as well as Stranded in Canton, the artist’s video work from the early 1970s. The exhibition will travel throughout the United States as well as to the Haus der Kunst in Munich following its New York presentation.”

Here’s a great article about William Eggleston from NYmag.com.
