09.25.08I’m Not Like Other Guys x O•H+T GalleryDan the Man took us over to the South End on Friday to check out the SoWa artist guild and the galleries at 450 Harrison Ave. We scoped the goods at Bobby From Boston's gentleman's store and then stumbled into the O•H+T Gallery, where we found this hidden gem from Ben Sloat. "I'm Not Like Other Guys" examines the cult of celebrity surrounding Michael Jackson and his "bizarre and tragic personal transformation from black boy to a white man/woman". The exhibition features paintings, digital prints, a view-master reel, and a stained glass piece depicting a scene from Thriller. The point-and-shoot ...

09.24.08The Interview: Immortal TechniqueWe hit up Immortal Technique while he was in Boston this summer for Rock The Bells and a performance at the UGHH store. Tech hit us back this week with some thoughts on foreign policy and the influences behind his latest project, The 3rd World.

On a cut from his latest album, Coronel expresses his desire to engage in sex acts with the first lady and Secretary of State, before ...

The fluctuating collage of wheat-paste characters and graffiti stencils plucked from Boston's alleyways and transported into South Boston's Distillery Gallery has, at the very least, an urban aesthetic. But Buildmore insists the cadre of young "street" artists who contribute to the project can't be pigeonholed by the medium they work in. Continue Reading...

09.19.08New Drops: SeptemberThe fresh-gear onslaught continues! This month, we've got 50+ new items from around the HUB and info about an Adidas exclusive available at Concepts. Plus, Menino and the Graf Busters would shit a brick if they knew about the shipment that just arrived at Proletariat! The good news for fans of Harvard Square's Concepts is that the store has exclusive access to super-limited shoes designed by Adidas and Undftd, and they're releasing them Saturday with music by Boston's Brek.One. The bad news is they're unbelievably ugly. Continue Reading...

From the Archives: Artageddon at the Distillery Gallery»
In art, as in love, things can get a bit messy when the Internet is involved. In the old days of aesthetic courtship, the rules were simple: artist toils in obscurity; gallery discovers artist; the Whitney calls and they fall in love at the Empire State Building. Gallerists were the gatekeepers to the art world, [...]
