read more about the show: here !!
well, anyone who knows her, knows Maya can be a pain - or is it only me. or is it me that’s the pain - o.k. - we both have big chips on our shoulders - I wonder why, could it have anything to do with lack of well-deserved recognition & success ? maybe.
at, any rate the show is all-out beautiful, totally striking and you know, positive - so, we find - we can’t in all conscience deny her, her moment in the sun, esp considering how bad - the rest of the global art world was - last week !!!
so, MAYA for you and KELI & STO at CINDERS - here’s some pix - and the rest of you couch potatoes - go see it - for yourself and maybe even - spring for a piece - to put up on the walls - and save everyone, in Brooklyn - that we love, from having to become ‘apt squatters’ !! no joke.
this is no way to treat our best most talented people - no matter the - $$ crisis.
KELI BOWMAN.
Kelie was about to leave for CHILE for 2 and a half weeks. . She’s going down there with MAYA HAYUK and WOLFY and KAYROCK - to paint wall murals on the streets. . she says the culture there is full of street art and the powers that be - actually encourage muralists, who paint with brushes - and depict narrative scenes or abstract designs - as opposed to ‘taggers’ or ‘writers’ who use spray paint to leave initials-only tags.
she says if they see you roller brushing over the tags - they are very happy to let you paint to your heart’s content.
on the floor - a new BRIAN CHIPPENDALE - now going for over $2,600 and up - we told ya to score one a few years ago - when they were just about $1,000. what can we say. you can take a horse to water - you can’t make him drink.
STO - behind him - the display for his new - CINDERS VIP/MEMBERSHIP CLUB - you too, can join for $50.
see: their website for details - JOIN OUR NEW MEMBERSHIP CLUB !!
