October.13.2008 A Weekend in Oaxaca
I just spent a weekend in Oaxaca attending the wedding of some friends. Here are some photographs of some things I saw. More to come as the editing process proceeds. Maybe a zine will be produced!
April.17.2008
With the Pennsylvania primaries in a few days I thought it appropriate to post an image of a Harrisburg wall. To me it shows the deterioration of the whole state. It is quite surreal for me sitting thousands of miles away in Mexico City and hearing places like Lancaster, Harrisburg, Mifflintown and Juniata being mentioned in the International Press. I hope Barack is finally able to pull it out.
Stencil Work
As a teacher, the students are constantly giving me ideas or making me look differently at certain things. One student is talented in stencil making and we were able to group it in the concept of contemporary handicraft.
Such is the learning process.
Melbourne Laneways
One of the most well known discussions of Australian culture is the comparing and contrasting of Sydney and Melbourne. Melbourne, which lacks the natural geographic splendour of Sydney compensates by promoting its 'urban culture' as more vibrant. The 'laneways' of downtown Melbourne are the physical spaces where this urban culture is incubated and many of them are covered in the global phenomenon known as 'street art'. I enjoy seeing and taking note of these ever-changing marks on the palimpsest of a city. The images that you see here are from the Melbourne laneways and respresent a specific moment of that city's being.
If you happen to be in Melbourne in the next month or so there is a festival going on in this spaces, check this link: http://www.myspace.com/lanewayfestival
