FILE UNDER: and, so.
\nI’M not the o-n-l-y artist in NYC – who feels this way.
\nin fact, I bet even Dustin Yellin, feels this way.

when I saw that image – it really resonated.
\nI think it all started with that SIX KEYS TO HAPPINESS (?!!!) show, ‘Six Things: Sagmeister & Walsh’ at THE JEWISH MUSEUM, still up until August 4, 2013, bye the way . . . shortly followed by the museum’s tragic \/ magic . . . ‘JACK GOLDSTEIN x 10,000’ portrait.
\nalso still up, thru September 29, 2013. <\/p>\n

red and black, the Hubert Dobler fused scewdrivers bespoke frustration, and ultimately: strength and insight, inspiration – going nowhere. and having to butt heads with its own dynamic.
\ntell me about it. <\/p>\n

I quickly realized I had seen this visual ‘statement’ \/ metaphor that speaks volumes . . . on the truly alive and kickin’ but mostly underground NYC art scene – in a slightly different format, but still red and black – via Brooklyn-based artist twin bro duo – SKEWVILLE . . . via BSA \/ BROOKLYN STREET ART.<\/p>\n

\nthe image is also the ‘header’ or title image for a neat video – on the installation . .

so, ok.
\nwhose the FAIREST OF THEM ALL ?<\/p>\n

actually, come to think of it, the JACK GOLDSTEIN show – has a signature, RED & BLACK, and white .. signature image, that also speaks to the same issues.
\nexcept he worded it slightly differently.
\nhe called it: THE BURNING FOREST.
\nas they say, haha.<\/p>\n

of course not to be totally down, obviously, there’s real WINNING in the NO WINNING EQUATION.
\nBurning forest . . and all. <\/p>\n
