Right off the bat, the guy on the other end of the encrypted conversation tells me, “If I state something, it’s really just a question.” He goes by the name 10FOOT, not because he’s the most prolific writer in London but because he’s that tall, or seems that way, like […]

Hunter Potter “The Pasture” @ SHRINE NYC
The Pasture is a gathering spot for a gang of good-natured wooden friends who have assembled to reminisce about long-lived lives as trees in the American North East. Each figure has been carved and constructed using only storm-fallen logs and branches collected by their maker, Brooklyn-based artist Hunter Potter. Imperfect “bow tie” inlays have also been added to mitigate the wood’s natural […]

Harman Projects is pleased to announce Liminality, the latest solo exhibition by Miles Johnston. Following his last exhibition over six years ago, this new body of work features drawings in graphite and ink as well as paintings in oil and watercolor, highlighting the artist’s eclectic range.
ZEPHYR: Graffiti Blackbook/Scrapbook 1978 And Beyond
The beautiful part of graffiti is that it’s such an ephemeral art form; most of its greatest works only lasted days, if not hours. But the archives are rich, and what remains are historic and essential. ZEPHYR, one of the most influential graff artists of NYC, kept a scrapbook that […]

FifthWallTV Does a Deep-dive into Graffiti with Rafael Schacter
On the occasion of his latest book, Monumental Graffiti, Rafael Schacter sat down with our good friend Doug Gillen of FifthWallTV to talk about just that, his love for graffiti and his book that “focuses on the material, communicative, and contextual aspects of these two forms of material culture to provide […]
HUSKMITNAVN: A New Day @ V1 Gallery, Copenhagen
There is something so comforting about a HUSKMITNAVN show at V1 Gallery. Not that the work is comfortable, but that you know HUSKMITNAVN will paint about domestic life in a way that feels relatable, or create a collective sense of anxiety and humor in his illustrations. It’s comforting because you […]
GATS Comes Out at “Midnight”
The perks and drawbacks of being a masked figure are roughly the same: nobody can know you. While this anonymity frees graffiti artists like GATS (Graffiti Against the System), it also means the painter has had to connect with their audience beyond a personal identity. Over decades of painting city […]
After 50 Years, FUTURA 2000 is Finally “Breaking Out”
Right from the jump; it’s all here. FUTURA 2000, the Bronx, graffiti, street culture, 50 years of art history…, like there are few art forms, and an artist for that matter, that represent a particular era (and the transcendence of said era to move through the years) quite like FUTURA. […]
