Will Steacy: Down These Mean Streets

Will Steacy:  Down These Mean Streets

In "Down These Mean Streets" Will Steacy wanders through battered urban areas with a wrench in his back pocket. Barney Kulok and Paul Graham come to mind when looking through these images of abandoned buildings, burned-out cars, neon signs and local residents. The city glows, strangely beautiful but vaguely threatening, as a picture of urbanity and its attendant vices - it is not a forgiving portrait. This podcast produced in conjunction with the Michael Mazzeo Gallery for Steacy's show on view June 10 - July 23rd 2010.

Ikuru Kuwajima: Cossacks

Ikuru Kuwajima:  Cossacks

As early as the 13th century, Cossacks formed military communities in Ukraine and Russia. Having fought many wars over hundreds of years, these populations had a large degree of autonomy and a reputation for being fierce warriors and skilled with horses. The Soviet regime suppressed Cossack activities, but after the fall of the Iron Curtain there has been a cultural revival. In Crimea, a number of active communities have sprung up in the last ten years; some are tied to pro-Russian movements as ethnic Russians still dominate the demography in Crimea. read more »
