Will Steacy: Down These Mean Streets

Get the latest Flash Player to see this video.

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. Read an exclusive, in-depth piece about "Down These Mean Streets" at Conscientious Extended.

What Decade
