From Banksy:

New Yorkers dont care about art, they care about pets. So Im exhibiting them instead. I wanted to make art that questioned our relationship with animals and the ethics and sustainability of factory farming, but it ended up as chicken nuggets singing. I took all the money I made exploiting an animal in my last show and used it to fund a new show about the exploitation of animals. If its art and you can see it from the street, I guess it could still be considered street art.

WWW.FYCGALLERY.COM highly recommends you go check out The Adam and Ron Show at Elms Lesters Gallery (www.elmslesters.co.uk) in London.  Amazing works by both Adam Neate and Ron English.  The best exhibition we’ve seen all year!

FYC just got back from a great trip across the pond to London.  Here are some photo highlights:

 

FYC IN SF

April 14, 2008

Had some free time today so went to the SFMOMA.  While the exhibitions didn’t excite us much we were impressed by two things:

1. How are those white frames made for the Lee Friedlander works.  And where can you get them.  There were no seams!  Anal-retentive framers like us need to know.

2. Browsing in the museum store we were very happy to street/urban art related books displayed prominently in the ‘Art Movement’ section. It was validating to see this in an institution of this caliber
