In the true spirit of fun and mayhem TrustoCorp. spent this past weekend installing some modified product packaging around NYC. As stated on it’s website, “TrustoCorp is a New York based artist (or artists) dedicated to highlighting the hypocrisy and hilarity of human behavior through sarcasm and satire. TrustoCorp. targets areas in the public domain typically reserved for messages of trust and authority and abuses them with visual messages of mayhem and absurdity hijacked from the visual style of our authorities.” Next time you go to the market, be sure to keep an eye out for these life changing products!
Given that your chances of running into one of these products around NYC is going to be fairly difficult, might I suggest you check out the TrustoCorp. exhibit opening on April 15 at Brooklyn Brothers Gallery. The gallery is located at 18 East 17 Street, 6th Floor.

Artist Greg Lamarche has an upcoming exhibit of new works at Show and Tell Gallery, Toronto. While it may be a far drive from NYC to Toronto, about 8 to 9 hours, if you’re like me you’ll already need a break from these 80+ degree temperatures. So let’s rent a van and head on up to The Great White North for some great art works and 20+ degree cooler weather!
This veteran collagist channels the bold energy of graffiti and his experience of growing up in New York City during the 1980’s to create a unique style of hand cut paper collages. Lamarche’s work incorporates an array of typography to create original artworks which blur the line between graphic design and fine art. Each piece takes a painstaking amount of time to create as Lamarche strictly uses reclaimed vintage paper that is often collected years before the final piece is created. The outcome is dynamic pastiches that feature abstracted letterforms, vibrant color, bold wit, and always fresh style. Greg Lamarche was born, raised, and still lives in New York City.

A collection of new works by Shepard Fairey will be on display from May 1 through May 29 at the 18 Wooster Deitch Gallery location. In addition to the exhibit, dubbed May Day, Fairey and the Obey Posse are looking for wall space to bless with mural installations to coincide with the show. Beyond the new works by the famed street & studio artist, the show also will mark the last exhibit to be held at Deitch. Owner, Jeffrey Deitch has been appointed to a position as director of the LA Museum of Contemporary Art, thus he will be leaving us here on the East Coast to take residence in the City of Angels. While this a a huge opportunity for Mr. Deitch and I wish him all the success in the world, I will sincerely miss having such an amazing venue here in NYC to have the opportunity to witness the immense amount of talent that has been on exhibit via Deitch over the last decade.
