Live and Awry in New York

Jul/28-08 by Alisa

This is a link to a video of a cyclist being assaulted by a cop From BoingBoing: ” Although a judge ruled in 2006 that the monthly Critical Mass bicycle rides could proceed without a permit, the NYPD’s stance remains somewhat adversarial.

Jul/18-08 by Alisa

On July 2 we went to the annual, week long Kutztown Festival in search of American things. Although it is billed as a PA Dutch fair there were many people calling themselves PA German. What is the difference? I found out it is the same, check it out on the Wiki, a fascinating story. We […]

a beautiful moving truck

Jul/10-08 by Alisa

How beautiful is this moving truck? Spotted all over Boston, Casey & Hayes. If KIOSK ever owns trucks I have our inspiration, damn it is hypnotic.

Massachusetts #5: Lee

by Alisa

Lee, Massachusetts, a beautiful town and to an outsider, a patriotic one of sorts at that. It’s massive white Romanesque style church built in 1857, Main Street and Joe’s Diner gives it an All-American touch, in a good way. Rockwell, the most American of American painters we all know and some possibly love, was buzzing […]

Plastic Bag Happening Day 4

Jul/01-08 by Marco

More things happening, the space is really packed with bags and Jason is sewing away. Sitting among them yesterday I thought it would be great to make a sub-room in KIOSK with the walls made of plastic bags that can hold all of the products commissioned for the Mini-Exhibitions. Will have to talk to Jason […]
