LA///ROSTARR IN STEREO…

November 18th, 2007

Stereo Skates’ Jason Lee goes smooth for Rostarr…

The calligraphic stylings of our boy Romon Yang, aka: ROSTARR were the featured selection at TURNTABLE LAB in Hollywood, where his solo show of new artwork presented by STEREO SKATEBOARDS kicked off on Saturday nite. Freshly-shorn Stereo founder JASON LEE was on hand to host the gig while THE GASLAMP KILLER and FROSTY/DUBLAB handled the wheels of steel. And of course, what art show would be complete without the launch of a signature shoe, which, in this case happened to be the guest Rostarr model by CLAE FOOTWEAR. Supertouch blogger DARREN “DR” ROMANELLI was onsite with the visiting SOPHNET crew to peep the scene. HAVE A LOOK:

NEWS///STREET LIFE///BANKSY PAINTS NEW ORLEANS AS KATRINA MEMORIAL

banksyopener.jpg
One wouldn’t normally expect to find the world’s most Googled street artist lurking among the ruins of the lower ninth ward in NEW ORLEANS, but that’s just where renegade stencil artist BANKSY has been holed up for the past week, covering the desiccated city with art to commemorate the anniversary of KATRINA, the hurricane that killed 1800 people when it struck the coastal city in 2005. Said Banksy of the operation, “Three years after Katrina I wanted to make a statement about the state of the clean-up operation,” and attested that the city’s levee wall offered “the best painting surface in the state of Louisiana.” In the art world, timing is everything, and as the anonymous bomber wraps up his project, the city once again braces for the onslaught of an oncoming tropical storm. Hopefully, once residents realize what’s been painted on their doorstop, a quick sawsall session and a little eBay savvy will net them enough to build a mansion in the French Quarter. HAVE A LOOK:

NYC///ART CRIMES///ESPO UNVEILS “WATERBOARD THRILL RIDE” ON CONEY ISLAND…

espoconey3.jpg

As we previously reported, New York artist STEVE POWERS (aka: ESPO) has been working on a torture-themed art project for a while now and in conjunction with CREATIVE TIME as part of its national public art initiative “Democracy in America: The National Campaign,” he’s just opened the Guantanamo Bay-themed “Waterboard Thrill Ride” on Coney Island in the shadow of the legendary Cyclone roller coaster and Nathan’s hot dog stand in an empty storefront on West 12th Street. When a dollar is fed into a machine standing outside Powers’ mock jail cell installation featuring paintings by the artist inside and out, viewers can climb a short flight of steps to peer through cell bars and view an animatronic torture scene of a hooded jailer pouring water down the throat of an orange jumpsuit wearing Gitmo detainee…
