Springtime for Hitler

From the movie "The Producers" by Mel Brooks.

"This book covers the past five years of the New York City downtown creative community. Things remembered and things forgotten. The collection of photographs is book ended by Kai Regan (and Aaron Bondaroff's Community) movie theater photographs. It was that collaboration which inspired this book, embracing the collective spirit of the "Off, Off Bowery."

Kai Regan teamed with Tony Arcabascio to help create and curate this book, with brief narratives and snapshots from the community over the past five years. "Unloveable" was printed to commemorate the "Off, Off Bowery" show curated by Aaron Bonderoff and Jen Brill at Colette on Sept 29 2008, and is filled with imagery of incredibly talented, creative, and unique individuals. The people who strive to make the most of every moment. Or not."

Pixadores against domestication of street art

"Last week a group of 30 Pixadores stormed the Choque Cultural Gallery in protest against the "marketing, institutionalization and domestication of Street Art" by the gallerys and media"(...)"

I hope this fresh and spontaneous action from these Brazilians writers will be heard, it's true that it is difficult to admit that street art became an Gallery art.. and even more for Pixadores when we know the danger they took to practice their art.
