Unintentional art emerges in the interstitial space that occurs between one advertisement and the next

Abstraction that speaks to a society that understands it. I found this exhibit at the Bedford-Nostrand G train subway station one day. The ads had been stripped away, but the new ads were not yet in place.

 

 

But the real zen moments occur in the closed-off and chained up section of the station . . . shots taken through a small crack in the barrier.

A trip to see artist & former Situationist Jacqueline de Jong at Boo Hooray Gallery, Canal Street, NYC

For the first time in History there's a busker at the Bedford-Nostrand G-Train Station, signalling the official arrival of hipsters to a deeper part of Bed-Stuy.

On arrival at the Boo Hooray Gallery, 265 Canal Street, NYC, a few guests already there, and Ms. de Jong (center, in Black), perusing the show of her work. She is the editor of the magazine on view, The Situationist Times, 6 issues produced in Paris from 1962 to 1967.

A film plays in the corner - Situationists!

Painting on plastic. These I loved.

The gallery's filling up...

...and Ms. de Jong takes a seat by the mic.

She'd been expelled, or perhaps she quit the Situationist International!
