Barry McGee & Margaret Kilgallen

What is art? Where does it come from? Where does it belong? Who is it for?

The queries are endless and the answer elusive. Barry McGee & Margaret Kilgallen flirt with many facets of the art world. Street art, gallery installations, and train yard graffiti are known venues for these two and their works, accompanied by their words, create a beautiful dialog for the aforementioned questions.

This video showed up in my email today thanks to Wooster Collective via Eyeteeth. Grab a snack and have a look.

Sawzalls take the title!

Although it may seem a far cry from the art world, the Sawzalls victory last week has made it to our blog. Ranked at the bottom of the local rec league only a year ago, Sawzalls tightened their chinstraps and brought their A-game in '08. Lyndsay (standing, middle-right) announced the championship win midweek with a big smile. Other than a sore behind, McCandless had little to complain about after a great season

Congratulations to the Sawzall team from LMC.

Women are Heroes

This entry is part of the Wooster Collective daily email. The artist JR has been engaging difficult issues in hot spots around the globe. His work is provocative and beautiful. Have a look.

Just to warn you: the movie contains some graphic descriptions that are important, but quite tough to hear.
