has curated a small but S-W-I-F-T (!!) ‘photo-shopped’ subway art display – in the TEKSERVE entry glass cases – facing the interior of the store.
the exhibit ‘re-imagines’ site-specific NYC subway art, with small scale works produced specifically for this show – by 4 artists who do … the art you walk by everyday, underground, truly !! – and is . . . termed by ART@TEKSERVE curator, JAN ALBERT: an “installation celebrating uncommissioned art in the subway.” (!!)

from the installation:
JILLY BALLASTIC . . .
“a paste-up artist out of BROOKLYN, known for tagging the New York City subway with site-specific historical images, revamped idioms as policy advisories, and computer errors inserted into platform advertisements.”
MOUSTACHE MAN . . .
“scrawled his moustache tag on countless subway advertisements over the course of a year until he was arrested in 2011. He now stars in a comedy show at UCB Theatre about his experiences becoming one of the NYPDs most wanted graffiti artists.”
A CITY of CHILDREN . . .
“is a graffiti artist whose atypical tag started appearing in the subway in 2012. He’s quickly become one NYC’s most prolific taggers.”
A CITY of CHILDREN . . .
Nowhere to be ..
Nothing to do,
No one to love …

‘Poster Boy’ – in the TEKSERVE glass case.
Poster Boy . . . “up yours”.
“Poster Boy is a NYC-based street artist who is well known for his witty remixes of subway advertisements. Some of his work is political, some satirical, and some vulgar; all share one goal, subverting advertisers.”
p.s. last I heard, Poster Boy was an “art collective”, haha well, that’s one creative route to getting around the subway ‘pa-trols’, esp as Poster Boy … singular or plural (!!) really tends to shred the original ads to pieces – so he really got into some serious deep trouble. (nancy)
Poster Boy . . . “consum(e)…”
Poster Boy .. “OBEY”.
hahaha.
nothing like, a little tagger on tagger action – to end a post !!
