I should also mention to UNIT friend Jeroen Koolhaas is here in Tokyo looking for galleries to exhibit an installation that he’s made to explain/publicize “Favela Painting” a project he’s doing with another friend Dre Urhahn.
Check out their site for more info, but the basic premise is to paint an entire section of Rio slum as a single, recognizable picture to help alter the image of favelas - notorious, but popular informal communities that are often left off Brazil’s maps and political agenda.

So many questions. I am going to SF Art Institute this fall after IOP rehab in moo town texas. Write if you get time. Anita from classes at NYU.
Brendan said on Aug 11 07 at 01:24Damn Anita. Nice to hear from you…
Well, I’m definitely not branding myself as public intellectual. Just made this site and blog to learn how to do it and keep in touch, because I’m far away from family and old friends.
But give me an e-mail when you can.
