Graffitist Dex, from a fund-raising party for the Area space, San Juan, Puerto Rico, via the Miami and Puerto Rico-based online magazine Rotund World. I confess I had deleted the unsolicited email plugging the magazine and then woke up this morning thinking about that graffiti design. Also from Rotund, the two views below of Hector Madera Gonzalez's "Optical Borderline" at Museo de Arte Contemporaneo, San Juan. According to the accompanying article by Rotund editor Joel Weinstein, the installation is a meditation on Puerto Rican residential grillwork. It's interesting to see the Jim Isermann-style wallpapered gallery applied to tropes other than the indigenous US post-Populuxe and post-psychedelic designs, and the neon and accompanying bland video documentation seem to be good additions, based on the photos, at least. (Accents omitted from a's and e's since I'm not sure how well RSS will read them.)
