We were traveling the day The Graffiti Research Lab's new show, Open City, premiered at Eyebeam, so we decided to go check it out yesterday afternoon. The exhibit was completely mind blowing-- a dozen or more installations showing the latest and greatest in graffiti technology and culture-jamming performance art. They've got fire-extinguisher tagging systems, subway-swings, laser-projection graffiti, and a whole bunch of other stuff that's impossible to describe. Check it out for yourself, either online or in person. Open City will be on-display through April 7th, Tuesday through Saturday, 12-6 @ 540 West 21st between 10th and 11th.
Open City is also hosting a few special events over the next couple of weeks-- today there's a workshop from 3-5pm featuring Leon Reid and the GRL.

they really shoulden't use the slogan 'by any means necessary.' that might also be construed by the people that own the property that they are defacing. Like the farmer that I knew who would shoot trespassing dirt bikes with road salt packed shotgun shells. Ever hear the phrase 'salt the wound?' It's much worse when the salt makes the wound.
