#haywirephoto feature in #LubricatedZine issue #1. Published in 2008. Photo 4/17. Pontus Alv, FS Pivot. Steppenside, Malmö, Sweden. “Pontus Alv is on the pulse of skateboarding in Sweden and across Europe. He also makes super artsy skate films (see #strongestofthestrange or #insearchofthemiraculous). This spot is partly under his rule, along with the other people who helped build it. Malmö has the best skate scene in the world, and one of the best concreate parks. And I’m not talking about this little #diyskatespot you see here being ridden by one of its creators.” - J. Hay #bwfilm #trix400 #pontusalv https://www.instagram.com/p/B54_orVo5yK/?utm_medium=tumblr

Some 12 years ago I meet @KehindeWiley @ArtBasel Switzerland he was showing w #JeffreyDeitch at the fair opening cocktail Kehinde stuck out like a sour thumb. An oasis in a desert of sorry “boring” art professionals w his smile & friendly demeanor & already distinct sartorial style. When nobody was doing small talk w him I walked up & introduced myself. Years later now I am proud to call him a friend, an inspiration, a supporter of my meager efforts to do my part to support the culture, as w @mocada_museum I have written articles on him like the historic fact of being the 1st male #AfricanAmerican artist to have a museum solo show in Paris when nobody else in the US could care less. This week I placed this key work fr his highly acclaimed solo show ‘#InSearchOfTheMiraculous’ @stephenfriedmangallery aiming to push his social critique & process to new territory, investigating subjects of ‘migration, madness & isolation in contemporary America’. The colossal & visceral painting 272.3 x 394cm (107 1/4 x 155 1/8in) inspired by #WinslowHomer’s 1885 work of the same title. ‘#TheFogWarning’ depicts a lone man rowing his boat pitching in the waves on a rough sea. Homer made his reputation as a painter in the 1860s painting veterans during the #CivilWar later documenting the lives of fishermen returning fr voyages. #KehindeWiley’s interpretation encapsulates this sense of a return journey made out of necessity. A succinct allegory of man’s resilience against insurmountable odds. Placing this work with a rather new collector, not some boastful individual seeing their #art acquisitions as trophies to show off, not as a mere investment tool to make a quick profit, but someone Passionate about the arts, with a major plan to share the work to inspire, to uplift others means more than words can express! Over 30yrs ago I turned away a high paying job offer w Deutsche Bank in London, I walked away from a most successful career as a #topmodel & promising acting career to pursue my true passion! Not for the #money nor #fame For the #arts #artsforartssake #supportthearts #contemporaryart #barackobama #obama #mynpg #blackhistorymonth #tbt thank u 🙏🏽❤️KW @amelianyc @karon.hepburn (at The Obama White House)
