		<title>FEATURED ARTIST: Martha Cooper</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Culture exists beyond time and space. It&#8217;s what happens when humans come together to explore and express life in all of its pain, pleasure and duty.  Culture becomes &#8220;urban&#8221; or otherwise labeled, once it gets documented and enters the world of language, description and categorization.  In that vein, Martha Cooper is one of the first [...]]]></description>

Born in Jamaica and raised in Miami, artist Jodie Lyn-Kee-Chow says of her work, &#8220;&#8230;Ultimately, my work may read as sensual, romanticized and idiosyncratic versions of the feminine perspective. Surprise transformations seem to be a common link in my work [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chicana/Gypsy/Italiano, Los Angeles, under the radar, self-taught, artistic graf phenom, MROC, a.k.a. MELO, is unstoppable.  Precisely because, there is no destination.  Infinite is the mindset and wicked skillz is the stilo.  The work speaks for itself in a familiar language of words, colors and symbols that always touches on the transcendental within human experience.

		<title>VIDEO: ANNA CAMPBELL</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
(Image: Wrapping Diary, video still, Anna Campbell, 2007.)
Anna Campbell has a fascination with romanticizing failure and idolizing drive for its own sake. But, as we all know, romanticization has a shadow side. For Anna, that shadow rests in the space of marginalized people for whom failure is not a luxury. In an effort to challenge [...]]]></description>

		<title>Art + Culture Diaries: Jaret Vadera</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At first glance, 2D technological intangibility is what appears to be captured in the latest work of, Yale University M.F.A. candidate, Jaret Vadera.  A pixelated abstraction that the viewer can identify with via the technological zeitegist of the moment.  Or perhaps an alternate new media rendering of a timeless amoeba-like embryonic form suggesting the infiniteness [...]]]></description>

		<title>VIDEO: MUTO by Blu</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Worldwide street artist Blu&#8217;s latest short film, MUTO, silences words.  Other than faint echoes of Scorpionic astrological symbolism - the cycle of death and re-birth - and perhaps remote references to the lurking presence of culture vultures amongst us, Blu&#8217;s creativity stretches habitual cognition and leaves viewers amazed, and perhaps with a &#8220;?&#8221;.
