THERAPEUTIC DENIM NYC

HE ESTABLISHED WWW.CACHOFALCON.COM AS A WAY TO SHOW HIS WORK AND MEANS TO CONTINUE GATHERING STORIES FROM OTHERS.

“EVENTUALLY, I WON MY POINT, WHICH WAS: – “I AM AN ARTIST, AND THAT TAPE IS ONE OF MY ARTWORKS, AND IT BELONGS TO ME.” YES, THEY CAN HAVE A COPY. I HAD A POINT OF VIEW AND A REASON TO FIGHT. ON THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW, I SAID: “LITTLE BROTHER WATCHING BIG BROTHER.” THAT WAS A BIG STATEMENT, AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE SAW THAT. IT MEANT ANY INDIVIDUAL WITH A CAMERA (WHICH CAN BE A POWER WEAPON USED TO PROTECT ONE’S DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS) COULD HOLD THE AUTHORITIES AND THE POLICE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS ON THE STREET! THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF A WHOLE NEW DIGITAL AGE. “

“We are oscillating above the harsh vs soft vision of reality closely linked to the artist’s perception of the body in its physical, cultural, and psychic dimensions. The group of portraits shown at the “No It Is Not Not Always” exhibition in vibrant East London intends to question how we understand and relate to inherent aspects of human experiences, such as uncertainty and eccentricity, but also to culture and the symbolics that make it identifiable. “-Arthur Sopin and Andreas Rod.

” My best talent is turning everything into a light game. I approach everything I do with a sense of playfulness. I play games, even in projects that demand a lot of energy and effort. I decided to try to sustain our playful quality when we were kids – to avoid limiting myself and use my imagination freely. We must never forget how to play: So many great things can come out of it!”

” I feel like the running and me creating music is part of the same thing. I can feel my body when I run, and I also feel the music, whenever I do both, I feel like my mind is free and not disturbed by a lot of thoughts. It makes me feel complete.” 

“THE FIRST RULE OF PAINTING IS TO TAKE EVERYONE ELSE OUT OF THE EQUATION. I AM THE VIEWER, SO IDON’T UNDERESTIMATE MY VIEWERS. THEY SEE EVERYTHING, AND I JUST HAVE TO ASSUME THEY ARE ME. I CAN’T PAINT FOR ANYONE ELSE. IT’S ALL ABOUT HAVING THE COURAGE TO SAY THIS IS FINISHED, AND THEY HAVE TO KNOW I AM THE BOSS IN PAINTING. It’s LIKE BEING A SOLDIER BECAUSE I HAVE TO BE HARD AS FUCK TO FALL IN LOVE WITH THESE THINGS AND LET THEM GO.”

THIS EPISODE IS ABOUT A GRAFFITI WRITER, RISK, NEW IMAGE ART GALLERY OWNER MARSEE GOLDBERG, DIRECTOR MARK SIMPSON, AND PERFORMANCE ARTIST ARIEL BRICKMAN TALKING ABOUT LISTER’S INCREDIBLE STYLE AND DEDICATION TO HIS TRUE LOVE AND ARTISTIC EXPRESSION.

” I think of the future of an island. Crystal clear waters, blue sky, and the sunshine, the future is paradise! No food, no drinking water, no friends, the future is hell! Utopia vs. dystopia, cyclic vs. disruptive…The future will be all of these, and the important question is not about predictions but rather about why you do the things you do. Will your actions take us to paradise or to hell? What is the point of being pessimistic? If everyone joins the Preppers – people who invest in guns and store food to prepare for Armageddon – then that’s what the future will be like. I think connectivity will ultimately lead to the end of hierarchy and that’s the revolution.”
