Artists We Love :: Swoon
Brooklyn-based artist, Swoon brings a whole new meaning to the term “Street Art.” With her wheatpaste masterpieces spread throughout cities allover the world, it’s hard to miss the artist’s uniquely designed characters and cityscapes. Being a Brooklyn native, her art truly captures the essence of growing up in New York City. Although mainly a street artist, Swoon’s work has been showcased in some of the world’s largest contemporary museums, including MoMA’s P.S.1 and The Brooklyn Museum.
Exhibits We Love :: Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Modern Century
Known as the grandfather of street photography, Henri Cartier-Bresson truly revolutionized the art of photo journalism. From the 1930s through the end World War II, Bresson travelled the world and captured stunning in-the-moment photographs that changed the entire industry. With over 300 photographs on display, this exhibit is worth a trip to MoMA. The exhibit is running until June 28th, so be sure to check it out! -Elliot Lobell

topics we love :: poster boy & moma
We were a bit surprised to find this article on Poster Boy in New York Magazine this morning. It details the remixing of one of MoMA’s “most extensive and expensive advertising campaigns in history” by Poster Boy and his unlikely and supposed “accomplice” Doug Jaeger, “the marketing executive who created the campaign for MoMA.” We’re not really sure if the reporting is accurate or what the “real” story is at this point since we haven’t heard from either Poster Boy or Henry.
