Swoon Again

Monday, July 24th, 2006
Swoon Paste-Up
Juxtaposing the sweet, eyes-wide expression of this young girl with the war images below is heartbreaking. Swoon buffed her own mural that had recently been defaced by some clueless soul who wrote “Sold to MOMA.” and blacked out the eyes. This is one of the pieces she pasted after the buffing.
Swoon Mural - 11/17/03This is what this wall looked like back in November 17, 2003.

See how it evolved through July 18, 2003 in this Flash Movie:

Elbow Toe on the Lower East Side

I’m in the middle of transcribing an interview I did with with Elbow Toe. I should have it up on the blog by the end of the week.

Soldier for Nomads

Soldier for Nomads

As documented by Irena Kittenclaw , this Swoon mural had been defaced by some numbnutz with “Sold to MOMA” a reference to the recent aquisition of one of her pieces by the Museum of Modern Art. Someone else cleverly came along and modified it to say “Soldier for Nomads.” I’m not quite sure what that means but I think it expresses support for Swoon.
