Nike SB spot with P Rod and Ice cube

San Francisco Arts In Store Fronts


The SFAC’s Community Arts & Education Program and the Mayor’s Office of Economic and Workforce Development have partnered to create a pilot Art in Storefronts program that places art temporarily in vacant storefront windows. Tough economic times have left many storefronts empty throughout the City, and this program encourages an alternative use of storefronts to reinvigorate and celebrate our neighborhoods, improve streetscape conditions, and support local merchants by increasing foot traffic. This artist application is due August 14.

I want these shoes!




Renowned artist and Uslu Airlines founder Feride Uslu brings her design talents to a new collaboration with Reebok. Having already seen an Uslu-infused 1World Air Force 1 silhouette, this new pair of mids continues the Berlin-based artist’s venture into footwear. The kicks feature a self-explanatory aesthetic, pairing a fairly tame design/colorway with a wild glow-in-the-dark inter-locking pattern. A release can be expected for March 2010.

NUTZ



People if you are not on Twitter where are you?

Today I was going through my “Tweets” and read a posting from Dance Theatre Workshop based in NY. DTW was looking for someone to make a dance video using @common_squirrel tweets. Even though im currently busy making new material for performances this November I decided to take on the task. The North Carolina flowing through my blood wont allow me to turn down this opportunity. When I was younger I would spend hours sitting in my room looking out the window watching Squirrels play in the backyard. Hell I even caught a squirrel before. This piece will be for the good ol days.
