Photographers Richard Renaldi, and Doug DuBois, talk with Lesley A. Martin
Photographers Richard Renaldi, and Doug DuBois, talk with Lesley A Martin at the Affordable Art Fair this week! This week starts the Afordable Art Fair. It’s a fair oriented toward reasonably priced contemporary art, which in this shitty economy, is the only art most people can hope to own. The fair tends to include lots of think inexpensive new young emerging artists, so it’s always been a fun place to find that next hot rising star. FYI, the SVA will have a booth again, showing some of their most recent MFA graduates work. This booth of 9 SVA students is…

Shit We’re Diggin’: The Papergirl Project
“In our over-juried, overexposed, over-hyped land of art and design it’s refreshing to see an art event that not only has no jury, but also gives away the pieces in an “unprejudiced” way to anyone near the bike path. Born out of a reaction to recent changes regarding Berlin’s vandalism laws, Papergirl rallies artists and cyclists to distribute rolls of paper art (posters, prints, etc.) to unsuspecting Berliners.”… Sezio.
We absolutely love Berlin’s Papergirl project founded by the original Papergirl, Aisha Ronniger. It’s these types of actions that make cities “livable”. Our hope is that Papergirls and Paperboys will be in cities all over the world this Summer. You can read a terrific overview here on Sezio. And be sure to check out the Papergirl website here.
