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.

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.

Sadly we all get old, and in some cases that means being homebound. In the past this meant, for many homebound seniors, a life of isolation, an essential prison sentence. However, there is a pilot program looking to bring the fun and camaraderie of senior centers to those who can’t go to one themselves. “At least, that’s the mission Microsoft has taken on with the launch of its new Virtual Senior Center, a program that teaches homebound seniors to use technology and the Internet to take Tai Chi classes, paint, join discussion groups and participate in other previously out-of-reach activities.” While this is no doubt a noble cause, I do hope that the program also provides security features and training to prevent these seniors from becoming the target of the unscrupulous. I mention this because despite always telling my Grandmother not to open the door without asking who was there first, every time I knocked the door would swing open without so much as a peep out of her. Be sure to read the full Forest Hills Times article on this program by clicking the Source link below.
