Morocco Unfolding Day 2

This article was posted by Mare 139 1 month, 2 weeks, 1 day, 45 minutes ago.

So far Marrakech has been a complete cultural immersion for all of my senses. My host David Bloch and Alexandra have shown me Medina in ways many have never seen, its the inside scoop. Its a beautiful country as you can see from the images.

Ive been deep in the hood, in the gut of a Tannery where goats were skinned to coolin out drinking at Churchills Bar at the most luxurious hotel Ive ever seen-  La Mamounia http://www.mamounia.com/uk/index.php

The food, people and vibe is good, the streets can be 5x more chaotic than NYC but it flows in ways NY doesn’t.

AOC Morocco Unfolding

This article was posted by Mare 139 1 month, 2 weeks, 2 days, 7 hours, 16 minutes ago.

Arrive in Marrakech Morocco yesterday to prepare for the exhibition UNFOLDING with fellow Agents Of Change -Derm, Jaybo Monk, Remi Rough, LX One, Steve More, and Timid at David Bloch Gallery. So far its been a deep cultural immersion right off the plane. Its an amazing country one that heightens your senses and pulls you back in time. Visually its stunning and textured, weathered by time but beautifully finished by artisans hands. There is a strong arts and crafts culture here, it is tradition, a way of life.

DIRTY OLD NEW YORK SUBWAY

This article was posted by Bates 1 month, 2 weeks, 2 days, 23 hours, 3 minutes ago.

Dirty Old New York Subway from Jonathan Hertzberg on Vimeo.

A mix of clips of the New York City subway system on film, mostly from the ‘70s and early ‘80s, when graffiti was a mainstay on train cars and everything underground was, for the most part, grittier and more worn than it is today. I will almost certainly be tweaking and adding more footage to this piece.

Public Lecture at Parsons School of Design

This article was posted by Handselecta 1 month, 2 weeks, 4 days, 6 hours, 35 minutes ago.

If you are in NYC and missed my talk at the Type Directors Club a few weeks ago (and like your vandalism with a bit of high brow philosophical musing), you might want to come out to Parsons next week for my lecture about the Handselecta Project and a few things I’ve learned over the last 10 years of doing this project. I will surely wax poetic about graffiti while I get philosophical, theological, and ontological about vandalism. Plus there are pretty pictures, fun anecdotes, and some never before seen videos.
