Doze Green - Sidewalk Faces
Friday, June 15th, 2007
Warning! Needlessly obnoxious music in video.

I’m happy to finally have a name for the squeeze bottle artist who did all those beautiful sidewalk faces in 2003. The photos below are all from the East Village, and taken with my crappy old camera. I’m searching my archives for more photos.
I’m not certain of this attribution. I’m only going by the similarity of style of the face in the video, with these familiar sidewalk faces. Searching through the Flickr dozegreen tag, the only sidewalk photos I see are mine. And I haven’t found any sidewalk photos on the doze green site. (Annoying Flash navigation on this site, see if you can find any.)
Update, 6/20: I’m even less sure of who did these. They could just as easily be Michael De Feo, who is known for his squeeze bottle flowers.
I wish they hadn’t put the construction shed post on top of it. This is my favorite. I love the grace of line.
This one is sweet as well. The shot is from April 2005, but the piece is probably from 2003.

Facing Fascism
Mar 23 through Aug 12
Museum of the City of New York
103rd Street and Fifth Avenue, Manhattan
“No men ever entered the earth more honorably than those who died in Spain,” wrote Ernest Hemingway in 1939. Between the years of 1936-1939, an estimated 1,000 Americans, many from New York, died fighting to protect the elected government of the Spanish Republic against a rebellion led by General Francisco Franco and backed by Hitler and Mussolini. Facing Fascism: New York and the Spanish Civil War examines the role that New Yorkers played in the conflict, as well as the political and social ideologies that motivated them to participate in activities ranging from rallying support, fundraising, and relief aid, to fighting–and sometimes dying–on the front lines in Spain. The stories of these New Yorkers will be told through photographs, letters, uniforms, weapons, and an array of personal and historical memorabilia.
