    @BookishLookish: Honestly I don't understand why he still needs to conceal himself anymore. Isn't he pretty much out there..ie if someone was going to apprehend him, they could just do it at this point couldn't they? Does he really need to cover his face still?? It makes me wonder if there's something scary hidden under there.

    Nice to work with. Often funny. But I could see him coming off as douche-y (as per a few AgencySpy commenters) and I could definitely see him doing a "I found you jobs ok psych - you're fired" fake-out due to carelessness (with a touch of ass).


    So . . . I guess I'll miss the idea of LVHRD and, uh, funtime jobs in sprawling SoHo spaces are a thing of the past. Again (see: 2001).

    Heather FD, please tell Doug J. that I will go to great lengths for pics of Poster Boy unmasked. I have no ties to law enforcement; they are wanted for educational purposes only. Um, yeah.

    Hey now, some street artists do amazing gallery shows... Poster Boy just doesn't happen to be one of them.


    Moreover, can I just say how much it bugs me that his name is "Poster Boy"? I mean, really? What if Futura had called himself "Spraypaint Dude." He'd be exactly as famous as PB deserves to be, that is to say not very.

    I loathe the faux-legitimacy of so-called 'street art.' Graffiti artists think they're so rebellious but they're all just after the same shit as all the others.

    One thing to note is that the main drummer used above is Bernard Purdie, one of the all-time greats in drummer and as such a complete ringer. But I don't care! It works!

    This piece is definitely cool. Elvis? I do not think so.


    And while I'm no Christian Marclay apologist -- in fact some of his stuff's trite AND cheesey -- his "Video Quartet" installation kicks this piece's ass as far as I'm concerned -- and using far more clunky interface/ software (and no autotuning that I'm aware of).

    @yetimike: Speaking as someone who feels Christian Marclay kinda changed my life

    ">when he appeared on Night Music--I worked up a tape collage only a few days after I saw his piece--I always thought his visual works (both sculpture and video) were clunkier than his music: too linear, too slow. (Guitar Drag is something else, though.)

    Kutiman's thrill is more intense, and of a different sort: it's uniting all of the anonymoid YouTube music wonks in sweet harmony. (Damnit, that's like the third time I've said that it 24 hours.)

    The first was done by a girl. I passed her on the way to the L train while she was making it. Neither of the bystanders were Poster Boy, either... unfortunately.
