If you've seen "Boycott the Bezos Met Gala" posters wheatpasted around the city, they're the work of Everyone Hates Elon, a group of anti-billionaire activists who are by the Amazon oligarch's involvement in this year's Met Gala. But what are their objectives? Read our interview to find out.

Have you heard any of the Coil reissues DAIS has put out in recent years? Highly recommended.
Yet I listen to more Chris & Cosey (and Throbbing Gristle and Coil) than either house or techno these days.
Can't resist the smooth flooring, long hallways & ramps of a convention center? 🤷🏻♀️ Must entertain oneself somehow btw hanging multimillion dollar artworks. 😂
“Seeing gallerists lose their minds when they can’t find the most expensive piece of the booth, VIPs in extremely tight dresses spilling champagne over paintings, forklifts crashing against Anish Kapoors, fellow handlers skateboarding in the storage room...”

First Sharpie, now Bic and Shapiro mandating cursive handwriting - what a time for writing implements. 😂
At a NYC bus stop: the ad in the shelter has been replaced with a handpainted poster with the text NO MORE FUCKING WAR! on a backdrop of handprints. A woman in a hijab boards the B41 MTA bus. The front of the bus has an ad for MUSEUM OF SEX.
Seen in Brooklyn recently. Adtakeover by ARRTNYC.
I'd normally be annoyed at Reuters for doing a fake out where they focus on Rob from Massive Attack, before explaining that Banksy is actually the guy the Daily Mail named years ago, but it's so well written and richly reported I didn't care www.reuters.com/investigates...
first they came for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and I said nothing, but i did laugh quite a lot

Watching "The Librarians" and it is compelling. It's about librarians caught in the middle of the book banning battles happening across the country. Whatever your politics, it's worth your time—these are real people dealing with real consequences. #IndependentLens #Documentary #BannedBooks
A bus shelter adtakeover by the artist HOMESICK in Williamsburg/Brooklyn with a poster titled LOVE FOR LOS SURES featuring imagery of a rowhouse, bodega, fire hydrant, bolt cutters, locks and a red apple. A woman laden with heavy groceries walks past on the left.
Detail of a poem as part of a bus shelter adtakeover: "Memory of Los Sures" When Los Sures was Puerto Rican in the summer there was no sleeping Celebration all night because for the joy of living is enough reason to love dance and sing till the sun comes out in the morning
After last night's SuperBowl halftime, it seems appropriate to
post this recent adtakeover in Williamsburg, Brooklyn titled "Love for Los Sures".
Of course some graffiti guys noticed this phenomenon and made up name/crew stickers in the style of gate-repair companies. 😂
Now, more than ever, we need people making art. The weirder and more distinct, the better.

I'm a big fan of Josh MacPhee's output... writing, graphic design and (going way back) street art.
Now that is highway robbery!!
It is a bit much for a t-shirt... but tbh it's not outrageous compared to other shirts/merch I've bought to support local artists from NYC street art community.

Tears for Fears release “Shout” 41 yrs ago today.
The ‘80s, said Roland Orzabal, brought “a lot of fear, a lot of political tension. .. It’s really about empowerment — about refusing the roles you’ve been told to play. It’s an invitation. It’s saying: if something is wrong, say so. Say it loudly.”
Giant red letters painted on the side of the Brooklyn Queens Expressway with a fire extinguisher spell out CLASS WAR! A man on a bicycle below the graffiti waits for the light to change.
If it's a handful of oligarchs versus the rest of us, then it's CLASS WAR! says the artist CASH4. #nycgraffiti #classwar
A cute orange boy cat sits on a fuzzy bed against a yellow wall.
Otto blesses your feed this Caturday morning.
The words ALWAYS EAT THE RICH are painted in different fonts/styles on this mural in Bushwick by artist MR NEVER SATISFIED. A sad owl peers out of the top left corner, while a flying fish adorns the center. Drips, stripes and other decorative elements complete the piece.
Artist MR NEVER SATISFIED understands the spirit of these times. #eattherich #nycstreetart
