Floral Shower


Mina Wu
2004

The white t-shirt is a wardrobe wallflower, and the pits oft-neglected ground for anything but deodorant residue. With nothing but skill and a careful approach, Mina Wu adorns the pits of a t-shirt's interior with delicate floral prints and embroidery. If not just using ignored fabric, Wu also reminds of the delicacy of our own pheromonal, ticklish pits.

Made for Droog. Also pictured is Hector Serrano's "Clothes hanger lamp", functional and resembling your also delicate heart brimming with joy.

Panel discussion accompanying release of Vandal Squad: Inside the New York City Transit Police Department, 1984-2004


powerHouse Arena
2009

Vandal Squad chronicles the work of heavy-hitting graffiti artists on the MTA, but especially the work of cops dealing with the offenses. The panel discussion, moderated by Stern Rockwell of Streets are Saying Things, brought together cops Joseph Rivera, Steven Mona, and Ken Chiulli and artists COPE2, Ket, and ELLIS G. The platform allowed for the parties to duke out their opposing truths, but furthermore demonstrated the strife that before could only be imagined.
