THE HOUSE OF SPOOF--An Artists' Collective in the Bronx

It's almost two years since Glenn Wright lost his life in a case of mistaken identity, and in his memory his closest friends have created an art gallery and collective in Hunts Point. It's a place for young artists to show their work and share their artistry with each other and the public. The wall above displays a terrific piece of Wheat Pasting, a technique in which a large photographic print is applied to a textured surface and glued in place. It's then covered with a clear-drying paste that seals it for a time. Alas, the rain we've had lately has faded much of this picture of Glenn, but the memory endures.

Congratulations to Alberto, Carlos, Ryan, Brian, Misra, Alejandra, Danielle, Richard, and many other friends and supporters!
