Jose Parla Prepares…

Last December, The Inside Source celebrated artist Jose Parla’s art installation, Cafe Neptuncito, at Art Basel with a “friends & family” lunch at The Standard Miami. That same week in Miami, Jose Parla and French artist JR, released their book, Wrinkles of the City.

Here is a candid photo of Parla in New York this week taken by AnnStreetStudio as he prepares for an upcoming show this Tuesday (May 7th to July 12) at the Bryce Wolkowitz gallery. Ann’s interview here. The exhibit features recreations from the Wrinkles of the City project originally displayed on buildings in Cuba. For more information, visit BryceWolkowitz.com. You might want to begin grabbing some Jose Parla collectibles on eBay first before attending this anticipated show.

An Education on Hip Hop

Artist Jay Shells loves hip hop. Meticulously listening to rap lyrics containing geographic points in New York, Jay makes it his duty create and post the relative words to it’s corresponding block. For the rest of New Yorker’s (or visitors) this converts New York streets into a sort of museum of the genre paying homage to names such as Kanye, Jay-Z, Big Daddy Kane, Nas, and Mos Def. You can see his process here in this video.

By Jauretsi

Sometimes it’s nice to just see a girl know her tech. Meet Nadine, the girl who takes care of all the lighting and sound system in New York’s very prestigious Le Bain. She’s born and raised in New York (growing up in a DJ booth) thanks to her creative parents. The Standard Culture made this nice little intro piece on the girl who tends the disco ball.
