Wow, 2025. We are halfway to 2050! Instead of a year-end list, how about a year kick off list? The annual A’Design Awards compiles the yearly World Design Rankings, to start the year off with an overview of the  countries where innovative and revolutionizing design stems from. China often finds its way on top, with the USA, Japan and Italy being really strong. This year’s list is consistent as it was last…

We have a longstanding romance with the American train, a slow and poetic vision that crosses rivers, slices through mountains and connects towns, cities and new frontiers. The railroad has been the subject of songs, novels, paintings and film, but the train car itself has an intimate and unique relationship to graffiti. The American folk history of hobo and rail worker graffiti is steeped in our culture, from the Beatniks…

Right off the bat, the guy on the other end of the encrypted conversation tells me, “If I state something, it’s really just a question.” He goes by the name 10FOOT, not because he’s the most prolific writer in London but because he’s that tall, or seems that way, like it’s a childhood nickname, and judging from the response I’m getting from people in England when I tell them I…

Jillian Mayer is a versatile Miami artist making public artworks, film projects, and sculptural oddities with an inventive, serrated edge. Her latest experiment is an Object Shop, where creative tributes to jerks she’s met on the internet are awaiting your company, staring at you in shiny glass visage. We relate to Phill, described as, “Clever, can’t make a decision, and works all the time.” And then there’s Nacho, who is…

The beautiful part of graffiti is that it’s such an ephemeral art form; most of its greatest works only lasted days, if not hours. But the archives are rich, and what remains are historic and essential. ZEPHYR, one of the most influential graff artists of NYC, kept a scrapbook that would become pivotal to the history of the graffiti, and weighing 7 pounds with 243 full-color pages, ZEPHYR: Graffiti Blackbook/Scrapbook…

While researching for this interview, I came across a quote by Yayoi Kusama, “Every time I have had a problem, I have confronted it with the axe of art.” So simply put, this statement perfectly sums up for me the immense power that art holds, its mind opening and altering capabilities. It struck me that this is what the Guerrilla Girls collective have been doing for almost 40 years, using…

As you know from all your reading on Juxtapoz over the years, FAILE is the name for artist duo Patrick Miller and Patrick McNeil who have collaborated for 25 years. The due, who we had on the Radio Juxtapoz podcast earlier this year, just opened the exhibition at [CONTAINER], FAILE: A Riot of Existence, their first exhibition in Santa Fe, and will celebrate FAILE’s 25th anniversary. Visitors can expect to be transported to a…

On the occasion of his latest book, Monumental Graffiti, Rafael Schacter sat down with our good friend Doug Gillen of FifthWallTV to talk about just that, his love for graffiti and his book that “focuses on the material, communicative, and contextual aspects of these two forms of material culture to provide a timely perspective on public art, citizenship, and the city today.”

There is something so comforting about a HUSKMITNAVN show at V1 Gallery. Not that the work is comfortable, but that you know HUSKMITNAVN will paint about domestic life in a way that feels relatable, or create a collective sense of anxiety and humor in his illustrations. It’s comforting because you know he has an eye out for us, he’s paying attention, he gets it, he gets what is going on…
