...Angeles, Death By Leisure is spot-on in its details, though the British writer succeeds in making the city sound like the worst place in America, full of status-obsessed grifters like himself. Whether it's sneaking into Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch or finagling his way into a studio exec bash, Ayres simultaneously spits on and revels in the all-consuming shallowness of his time and place: gargantuan SUV's, gated communities, multi-million dollar homes and hot-bodied ladies...
...exhibition, which opened last Saturday and runs through August 16, displays over 250 posters, stencils, stickers, rubyliths, and ephemera made by Fairey and members of his studio over the course of the past two decades. Divided into seven themed rooms—Propaganda, War and Peace, Stylized, Music, Portraiture, Hierarchies of Power, and Question Everything—the works trace the evolution of his experiment and its influences through punk rock disobedience, skate culture, pop art, politics, propaganda, and capitalism. A glossary of terms on the exhibition pamphlet, itself designed as a piece of advertising, includes words ranging from...
...selling out as they feel less and less a part of a unique phenomenon. Over the course of the last 20 years, Fairey’s experiment has grown into Obey—a large company based out of Los Angeles that comprises a clothing line and a design studio.

Seeing an opportunity for what 104 Community Outreach Coordinator Matthias Tronqual calls "a project at once artistic, economic and social," the city built the complex in a former municipal funeral parlor at the center of the troubled Flandres neighborhood - a melting pot of 30 different ethnic groups, with a 20% unemployment rate and over 60% social housing. After hearing about 104 from a French...
With 104's offer to provide him with studio space for a residence alongside other artists' ateliers at the new complex, Tricky saw the chance to take a break from recording and try his hand at producing. Four weeks and dozens of tracks later, Tricky's new beginning has led to an entire new album, planned for release this summer. The project's success is largely thanks to Amadou "H2-zoo" Ndiaye, a lanky 29-year-old whose young companions have nicknamed "big brother" and "deux-mètres," both for his imposing stature and the watchful eye he keeps...
