archival fun fact:
me, and SIMON CERIGO . . had a studio at 195 Chrystie back in the late 80s / early 90s,
when we lived just around the corner, in the east storefront of 5 Rivington St.
those were rough & wild days back then / the area was quite distressed & very hardcore.
gritty . . cannot be overstated. but, it was the center of the universe as far as we were concerned.
BASQUIAT, (d. 1988) & KEIH HARING, (d. 1990) . . lived around the corner.
Soho, and the broader L.E.S was the epicenter of the gallery scene.
in fact, speaking about GRITTY . . we sublet our storefront /
from the notorious ‘Shadowman’ . . RICHARD HAMBLETON.
