Lady Aiko just closed a show at Ad Hoc Art Space in Bushwick with Lady Pink from train bombs back in the day. |
 |
The closing featured a panel discussion with both artists about street art in general and then a film about graffiti in the 70's and early 80's. Although the 2 artists are separated by a generation and a gulf in aesthetic sensibility it was nice to see their work together as each represents a very strong feminine voice in what has always been a hyper-macho medium.

| Conflict |
|
|
|
| There is always something better we could have done, something more permanent, more beautiful, functional, agreeable, something more productive. So we tear down what is there to make way for new expectations. Always in the middle… we destroy to make whole, always a step closer to our dreams of reaching an unattainable perfection that will finally solve the problem.
We tear down our bodies to make them more beautiful, tear down our forests to make them more useful, tear down our factories and homes to put up better or bigger of the same. This is the solution and as we labor and lament we repeat our mantra, “Change is inevitable. You can’t stop progress. Everything changes. Without growth there is only stagnation. We never think that these statements are completely false in any fashion other than spiritual and personal growth. |
