I have never wanted to travel so badly just to see urban art and portrayals of political expressions in a city …

This week, Douglas’ largest and most significant solo show yet opens at Andrew Edlin Gallery in New York City. “How to Disappear Completely” will feature drawings as well as …

Rae is probably one of the ballsier street artists active in New York at the moment. He regularly installs sculptures on signposts around the city, stickers prolifically and once even installed a bas relief-like piece onto the wall of a subway station. I recently caught up with Rae over email. RJ: Why do you think there …
