Kambui Olujimi is one of my favorite artists right now, one that never fails to impress with the direction in which his mental, linguistic, and visual interpretations go.

Extended until January 25, 2009.

Electric Windows - May 17-18
24 street artists converge in Beacon, NY, for live painting and the installation of their work on the exterior of a 19th century factory building. It’s worth the […]
Tom Otterness, perhaps best known to New Yorkers as the artist behind the cartoonish brass creatures all over the A/C/E/L station at 14th Street and 8th Avenue, will be celebrating his latest public art piece today in DUMBO. “Large Covered Wagon” depicts a Lego-like man with a pipe and a yoked ox that happens to […]
