found an ALPHA BETA poster on the street. Brooklyn, Nov 14, 2008

on the L train to Bushwick - somebody is cutting into the back layers of the subway posters !! Nov 14, 2008

UP-DATE: FEB 4, 2009: POSTER BOY ... one bad boy - or - a collective ? if it helps keep him outta trouble - I'm with the collective. it's not even about the art - though love the anarchist anti-consumerist side & the way he sticks to his guns re: civilian takes on such matters. really hate the idea of undercover cops infiltrating galleries & esp underground art events. esp. in NYC. home of the brave.



approaching FACTORY FRESH, 2 subways stops away, in Bushwick, BROOKLYN. Nov 14, 2008

FACTORY FRESH is one of the rare galleries to have a (heavy duty) bouncer at the door. A MAZE, FACTORY FRESH,
Nov 14, 2008


A MAZE was conceived and curated by CELSO and INFINITY - and incorporates their work, as well as that of STIKMAN and LA II, and Cbeauty onto the walls of a site specific maze built into the gallery just for the show. FACTORY FRESH,
Nov 14, 2008

the work will slowly distinguish itself into individual artists. for starters, that's Celso - the large heads. and infinity - at extreme right. he's the one with the mystical signs & symbols latticed-worked in.


the round paintings are actually done on old vinyl. that's Cbeauty. A MAZE, FACTORY FRESH, Nov 14, 2008

the image for the show's card - a collaboration, (a kind of breath-taking collaboration !!) between Celso, infinity and STIKMAN. A MAZE, FACTORY FRESH,
