Museum Of Reclaimed Urban Space

posted May 22, 2017 #

I spent a little time this weekend at the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space in the East Village; where they were having a poster show entitled Taking It to the Streets! The Art + Design of Posters and Flyers on the Lower East Side in the 80s + 90s. That title is quite a mouthful but does a good job of explaining what's in store for the exhibition.

It's pretty wild to read about all of the clashes that NYC residents have had with the NYC government over public spaces, gardens and even abandoned buildings that become art projects. The posters tell the story of unrest but they're just the jumping off point for a myriad of tales (i.e. Adam Purple and the Guerrilla Garden or Liz Christy vs Ed Koch).

If you can make it down there, go check it out. If not, read this NY Times piece and browse the location tag.

I'm a real estate agent updating my listings from the Real Estate show. That's a real thing.

Subscribing to newspapers is a good use case for @twitter payments. I might pay after clicking links if it only took one click.

Friday Videos - May 19th, 2017

posted May 19, 2017 #

I've really been struggling to know what to write in these little Friday Video intros. It's like the first ten minutes of a Marc Maron podcast; you don't really care what I put here because you're probably diving straight in to the goods. I don't blame you. So, because this is basically ignored text I'll tell you a few things about myself: I've been overwhelmed with work lately doing poster design, some album art and trying to get some new albums into the chute for yk records. Oh, and I'm moving back to Tennessee in June. It's proving to be a big mental load and I'm not even sure how I feel about any of it. Turns out I'm not great with change.

On to the distractions!
  • Earth, Wind & Ozzys - a new summer classic mashup courtesy of DJ Cummberbund.
  • I Have Seen The Future - ha ha ha, laugh all you want, this is a real development on the planet we live on. I won't lie, I'd do it.
  • Sean Spicer Behind the Scenes - a quick little featurette showing Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer trolling around NYC on her podium.
  • McDonalds Salad - the edit is subtle but perfect.
  • Cross Town Kids - beautiful looking new video from Nashville's own Phantom Farmer off an unannounced upcoming album.
  • Alex, Inc - a new Zach Braff sitcom wherein he portrays a version of Alex Bloomberg from Gimlet Media. This is absolute Cringe - capital C. I dare you to try and watch the whole thing. Ugh.
  • Early to the Party - the antithesis of the first video. Quiet, melancholy and sadly sweet. This Andy Shauf record is phenomenal.
Oh, and if you haven't seen Super Excited Smoke Guy, get on it.
