The Live Creature and Ethereal Things

Noches eléctricas [Electric Nights] takes its name from Les nuits électriques, a short film directed by Eugene Deslaw in 1928, in which he focused on city lights at nighttime, sequencing street lamps, neon signs and shop windows of Paris, Berlin and Prague almost as if it were a fireworks show. Similarly to fireworks, film is an intermittent ephemeral projection of light in the darkness.

Jayson Musson’s show The Hard Sell, at Marginal Utility on 319 N. 11th Street, is an atypical gallery show, to say the least. The walls are full of long, written rants, hilariously offensive t-shirts and the occasional art object, like a sculpture. It’s apolitical, atheistic and, come to think of it, a-pretty-much-any-other-adjective-you-can-muster. It’s a splendid [...]

Students often have lots of interest and questions about graffiti, graffiti art and street art. My response usually includes the fact that I love graffiti art and street art, especially if the artist takes their time to make something that’s really well designed (and in some cases has permission to create it). From my perspective, [...]

By inviting artists from around the world to [...]
