At the base of Salvoldi’s towering, temporary installations

He forged countless documents aiding those facing persecution during his lifetime and is thought to have helped save about 10,000 pe

There was an MCA lyric at the heart of the standout 1994 track "Root Down," on the Beastie Boys triumphant, inventive and eccentric album Ill Communication that said, “Bob Marley was a prophet for the freedom fight/ ‘If dancin’ prays to the Lord then I shall feel alright’/ I’m feeling good to play a little music/ Tears running down my face ’cause I love to do it’."

There is a certain tone, a color that seems to imbue a found photo. It doesn’t matter what era it was taken, or from where it was obtained, but a film photo immediately creates a mood that is universal. Maybe we all look at the past through sepia-tinted glasses, with a tinge of nostalgia and wonder of how our own memories might look like to someone else if they somehow accessed our family albums.
As we mentioned the other day, as we kick off a new year, 2023, Juxtapoz has begun a new web series: A Portfolio.

A few months ago, we shared the exhibition by Trenton Doyle Hancock at Shulamit Nazarin, Good Grief, Bad Grief, but this morning we saw the short film the former cover artist made of the exhibition and wanted to share. In the film, he is "discussing pivotal works in the show and the origins of the Moundverse." Enjoy!
