Shabazz
The Bronx Museum’s Teen Council class of 2007-2008 organizes a small exhibition of photographs by Jamel Shabazz based on the theme of community. During their tenure, the Teen Council conducted an interview with Shabazz for the education department’s DVD series. The teens worked in collaboration with Shabazz and assistant curator Erin Riley-Lopez to put the exhibition together.
Haven’t checked it out yet, but I’m definitely going soon.

Afro-American Express
Stumbled upon the work of Hank Willis Thomas, and it is great! His two series branded and unbranded speak upon the images of African Americans in advertisements, in very different ways. Like Kerry James Marshall he’s also represented at the Jack Shainman gallery.

Smart Cars NYC
Saw someone driving one of these this weekend in NYC, it’s the first time I’ve seen one outside of Europe. Forget all the good stuff about them, they’re cute and I can’t wait to see more of them. Around 30,000 paid to reserve one of these for $15,000, but the rest of the public will have to wait ’till around January.
Graffiti Hall of Fame NYC
Unfortunately the graffiti hall of fame event in nyc has been cancelled this year due to construction…hopefully there will be next year!
