Ricky Powell, the Documentary
This film meets Ricky Powell, a native New Yorker whose photographs of iconic people such as the Beastie Boys, Keith Haring and Cindy Crawford made him a pivotal figure in the downtown party scene during the ’80s and ’90s.
Now 50, Ricky’s lust for photography and music is still strong. Through his eccentricities such as his love for a transistor radio and feeding squirrels in the park, we gain an insight into his everyday life. Retrospective of New York City and how it has changed over his lifetime, he shows us around the city and contemplates what the future holds. *Directed by Will Robson-Scott via InterestingSomethings
Soda Prohibition: New York City
Mayor Bloomberg’s plan to ban servings over 16 oz.’s goes to a vote at the city’s Board of Health this Thursday. In response to the potential ban, Mountain Dew partnered up with the New York Art Department to launch “Prohibition: New York City,” a subtle outdoor pop-art campaign featuring giant 17 oz. cans of Mountain Dew. The suggestive images, plastered in various high-traffic spots in NYC, serve as an interesting example of creative and commercial art converging as a means of sharing a perspective. Viewers are encouraged to discuss their thoughts and share their pictures of the campaign on Twitter and Instagram tagged #dewyorkcity.
