Well, it’s a slow week, but not completely silent. Here’s a bit of what we missed: Nice little Horfe. And then there’s this new Roti with a few of his friends combining street art and graffiti in a great way. Biserama is new to me, but definitely interesting.

There are a bunch of shows open now or opening in the next month that I’d like to mention, but there are only so many hours in the day. So here’s a bit of a round-up: Détournement: Signs of the Times is a group show that just opened at Jonathan Levine Gallery in NYC. It …

As Caroline mentioned earlier this month, the group Young New York is having a charity art auction this Tuesday at White Box Gallery in New York to raise money for their restorative justice art workshops with teenagers who have been put into the adult court system in New York. Here are just a few of …
