Marc Valega – You’ll Never Take this Grain of Salt.
Posted by: Chris Fetherston | September 15th, 2008
I’m a strange fellow.
Love the color yellow.
I think with my mind,
Mostly the “what if…” kind.
I take events and then replace,
The outcomes project smiles on my face.
Replace reality with absurd scenarios,
The world’s too serious, that’s how it goes.
Shit will happen no matter what.
May I remove the stick from your butt?
I do the things I do,
For me, not for you.
Ambiguity is my friend,
With me ‘til the end.
Once you think you’ve figured me out,
I’ll open my mouth, scream and shout yell. continue reading»

The Real Story of the Superheroes
Work by: Dulce Pinzón, Posted by: Chris Fetherston | May 14th, 2008
After September 11, the notion of “hero” began to rear its head in the public consciousness more frequently. The notion served a necessity in a time of crisis to acknowledge those who demonstrated extraordinary courage, sometimes even sacrificing their lives to save others. However, in the whirlwind of journalism surrounding these deservedly front-page disasters, it is easy to take for granted the heroes who sacrifice immeasurable life and labor in their day to day lives for the good of others but in a somewhat less spectacular setting.
Marisa Rincon – Powerful Imagery From a Female Voice
Work by: Marisa Rincon Posted by: Chris Fetherston | May 14th, 2008
Studying at Montclair State University Marisa Rincon is a fine artist addressing the issues that shape the experiences of women in western society. Her work challenges the social pressures put forth by advertising and media that instill a false sense of being. Her work is very large, this particular piece measuring 11.5 feet by 3.5 feet and alludes to the artistic influences of Jackson Pollock’s stream-of-consciousness drip paintings and Douglas Kolk and Robert Rauschenberg’s large scale collage techniques.
