Urban 3.0

During the last few months Tammy was hired to provide narrative descriptions of the water colors of New York artist Emily Stedman and to be part of her current exhibition at NOHO / M55 Gallery in Chelsea running from January 27th to February 14th, 2015.

For the month of February, once a week, we will feature a new photo-montage by AleXander, with Tammy applying her wordsmithery to it.

AleXander is working on a project of images for an urban planning white paper being put together in China, and Tammy extrapolated on one of the pieces.

"I look across from my perch high above as the spectators gather across the bridge, all of us peering down to river traffic and a dizzy whirl of change. Before the last barge disappears around the bend, a bewildering array of bristling new construction leaps up on all sides. The noise, the frantic momentum, the determined push of the new that relentlessly shoves all out of its way. Walls of windows claim former horizon lines and even the stretching bridges are hemmed in, confined to small roles that defy old devils and convey the new gods to the other side as they hurry to very important appointments. Propulsion fueled by serial explosions of growth as progress holds sway and strikes down anything in its path. The bravest of new days is fleeting and before you know it, another generation of wonder construction becomes demolition sites. Somewhere above there is a sky and it barely notices any of this."
