While in Buenos Aires late last year, one of the most enjoyable, and thought provoking, experiences we had was sitting down for a long conversation at our hotel with Vomito Attack. 

If you are in New York, then you should know that Vomito Attack wll be in town for a few weeks.  On Monday, they will be giving a lecture at Columbia University.  Here’s the info:

VOMITO ATTACK:

POLITICAL AND SOCIAL EXPRESSION THROUGH ARGENTINE STREET ARTISTS

Come listen to members of the Argentine street artist group Vomito Attack and see their work. Vomito Attack was created in 2001 in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks and in the midst of the most important social and economic crisis in Argentina in the new century. Members of Vomito Attack hail from different disciplines, and after the crisis it became impossible for them to buy materials to produce their work. They began working with magazines and newspapers, changing the contents of the information presented and then translating these messages to the streets using a stencil technique.
