Plastic Robot, Live Fast & Christopher Stribley: Unlawful yet Correct

Having been to my fair share of historical sites & guided tours I really hate when someone bores me to death with their attempts to enhance one's experience with useless facts & neat little factoids.



Christopher Stribley/ Plastic Robot will be opening a solo show at Live Fast Friday, November 12th at 6 PM entitled 'Unlawful Posting of Signs/Ads'.



Always one to get me to see things from a new angle I hope you'll check out his work in person or via his public Fan Page. Plastic Robot is a thought provoking artist who saw and has utilized new media as a digital palate & play ground early in the game.



I didn't really understand how much power there is in social media until recently going out to Quel Beast's show with Christopher. I knew he was kinda a big deal online, but watching kids & artists treat him with the respect and star struck adoration normally saved for old school Giltteratti blew my mind.



Watching an artist at his own opening drop everything to cross the room and declaring: "You're Christopher Stribley" totally convinced that Facebook might not be so evil.



Hope to see you in the East Village for the opening. I hear there will be bunnies. flaming bunnies.

I’m a 38 year old graphic artist, photographer, and writer who moved to NYC in August of 2008 to immerse myself in this well of inspiration and creativity. Over the years I’ve had many interests that have been put on the back burner because I was in the wrong place at t...he wrong time, so now I have a lot of catching up to do. I’ll be posting art of various forms that I encounter as I wander about this great city. Mostly it will be things that I have photographed, but I’ll certainly share other sources of inspiration, as there are many.

"Christopher does photos of street art. He does it to the point that the street becomes HIS art, he has what one calls "an eye". He creates from what he sees and often what we don't see but should, poetry and magic when we'd sadly just hurry by it. He makes street art into (capital "S", capital "A") Street Art which turns immediately into just good ol' Art! The good stuff, the kind we want for a long time and not jus...t like flairs, for a short while. You'll want to live with his stuff for eons, for decades, forever.

He has captured the essence of New York street art and made it into true fine art. Its like what Andy did for advertising art. He made it into real art that lasts. So, this is what Christopher is doing with ephemeral street art. He makes it solidify into something which lasts and which you can contemplate and linger on. Forever. Just look at the totally Mdvaniiism-esque pieces above. He has made us look at them in a way we would wish to look at them ideally. He's madly clever. He's very Mr. Knightley, indeed!"
