Nelly Duff has a new kind of MOMO edition. I’ve meticulously cut out 20 collages like I’d used near Bethnal Green Rd in London, and arranged them on distressed wood, to match the color of the original wall, but 1/10 the size.
“Bethnal Green Rd.” 2009, painted acid free paper collage on wood, Edition of 20, 24cm x 30cm signed & numbered on the back. £ 150 here
I’m over joyed to participate with Add-Art, the Firefox Add-On that replaces online advertising with artwork. Add-Art works perfectly, I’ve had it installed for a year or so. Developed in part by the fantastic Mr. Steve Lambert. Julia Kim is curating this next batch of art due to be updated December 19th, from:

I’m leaving for adventures on the road indefinitely. I imagine it will be like this scene in Never Cry Wolf where Charles Martin Smith runs with wolves & elk. The plan is light on details, mostly a gut feeling, like the old days. If you think of a plan, you can email me and I will be sure to consider it, if it involves rigorous adventure or warm weather.
Thanks very much NY, I love you / miss you / can’t fucking believe it / here we go xxxx
For four years, xhoch4 has designed the bill posters for Ingolstadt Theatre. This year they created an artists series using artworks that had already existed for their their own sake. Funny thing is, one of the plays wound up being Michael Ende’s “MOMO”
Thanks to our friend Boris Schmelter DYSET of DFM & LJDA
After the W/F 2009 New York Fashion Week runway for Y-3 in February, I was invited to work on a shoe. The idea was: I create paintings on full scale cow hides, and then Y-3 cuts the Hayworth Mid II pattern from the leather, producing a shuffled design I could not have predicted. This fits with other experiments in chance and automation that I’ve played with lately.
The edition of 350 shoes, includes the “5 Shapes/3520 Artworks” mentioned in a previous post, a custom box, & custom laces.
Its a extreme honor to work with Yohji Yamamoto. Thanks to his team, Oliver and Chrissa in particular.
At Y-3 stores and http://y-3store.adidas.com
Five shapes, with two sides, on a nail, create 3520 artworks. There are actually 3840 possible combinations, but 320 here are redundant when the smallest shape (the ring) becomes obscured by the two largest (the triangle & swipe). So whether the ring is color or white side up, makes no difference.
You can download a giant version of the image below, by clicking on it.
These shapes were manufactured to my specs by Y-3, to accompany the MOMOxY-3 Hayworth Mid II
This video shows all 3520 variations in seven minutes, no split screen.
Just a personal project.
In all the 11 years I’ve followed this street game, Eko’s ’system (all 9 years of it) has been a singular kind of inspiration. I’m really indebted to the relentless curiosity/taste/curating there from Eko and other artists. And whats more amazing, its never been for profit, seemed pretentious, or unfair.
Haha! So just to say thanks.
// UPDATE // Luna Park’s timelapse of the white-washing here & install here – its hillarious!
Had a good time white washing 1000+ sq ft illegal billboards with Erin, – being chased by a crazy superintendent in the east village who was on the phone with cops, and seeing my work destroyed by a paid professional. I thought my “art work” was the worst I’ve ever made! But that happens, and it was funny. Congratulations Jordan, volunteers, artists (and five people in jail) for furthering this thoughtful examination of public space in New York City.

Paper Monster have relaunched their site. There’s a blog and an interactive area. Some time this morning they’ll release the “Love Sour Love” Faile collaborative book, a silk screened edition from Faile, an etching edition from Sam3, and this original from moi MOMO
This is the back side! A destroyed piece.
During the making I saw lots of potential other works, like the future opening up.
The real story this Summer has been this “$10,000 bucket” – a quest to f with wheatpaste tools, since actual wheatpasting is tedious. About the only thing keeping me on this ridiculous task (illegally gluing posters of triangles all over New York) is the chance to use ever more ridiculous “vandalism” tools.
Exhibit A:
Fiberglass rig holds 10 gallons of paste, is designed around the (double-wide) 18″ roller, and makes all attempts to center the weight forward to avoid “wheelies”. A center-stand (modified folding chair) keeps the rig stable while parked or pasting.
But the most ridiculous and redesigned is the roller adapter: it snaps on/off instantly & holds wide posters neatly while sending them aloft/finding placement.
A roller delivers paste up high where I like to work. A brush embeds paper in textured walls (like brick). Though I rarely bother with brick, Unger makes these 18′ and 30′ poles with detachable fittings so I can retool in a jiffy. A 3′ wide push-broom cut to 1/3 its weight and size works, and sometimes I prep areas with a drywall knife/scraper. A laundry bag holds posters, & fits onto the bike handle bars and racks with Velcro.
The bucket is just marine fiberglass, “reverse molded” around cardboard covered in foil. Improvements would be a plug/drain at the botom, maybe off a igloo cooler. Currently I pick up the whole bicycle with the $10,000 bucket attached, in order to drain the paste.
