this incredible street art can be found today through august 25th at openhouse 379 broome in nolita. these installations, composed by iranian artists icy and sot, concentrate on the parallels between the worlds of love and hate, war and peace, and hope and despair. i tend to divulge in the mystery between life and death, but i suppose that is transfixed in the midst of all these other concepts. the designs from tehran have previously been in turin, paris and several places in brazil. if you are in the new york area this weekend, there’s no excuse but to check these out. if you head over tonight, you can hear the iranian punk band the yellow dogs. by sv

thomas bayrle’s tenaciously consistent pieces have transcended the idylls of religion, art, machines and remained socially apt for decades. here we see his dogmatic epiphany of the automotive kind. by sv
