When New York Graffitti is good its really good, like this piece from DUMBO. This piece is now memento mori as it has been recently painted over.

Campana Brothers
Recycle strangling vines in London. The pieces on show are all prototypes exploring a new design vocabulary that involves combining traditional woven Apuí fibre with cheap plastic chairs, crude timber constructions and steel structures.
The fibre used, Apuí, suffocates the trees in Brazilian forests and TransPlastic makes an analogy with this, as the woven fibre appears to be smothering the plastic furniture beneath.

From the Installation called Hidden Mind.
The Tenri Institute has a nice gallery in its digs on 13th St, of course they also have their own City in Japan so this religious sect with several million members is certainly well heeled. In any case German Artist Brodo Korsig certainly brought out the curators and collectors for his show there last Friday. It has some starkly beautiful pieces that fit in well with the space and some other easily collectible ones. The artist also brims with naughty stories. Represented by Cynthia Broan Gallery.
