“I’m not doing anything wrong, I’m not obstructing anyone’s access. When I have a crowd I make sure that the crowd makes room for people. I’m an artist who cares about the cultural fabric of New York City. I care about New York as a harbor for street culture - and I care about street culture as a base-level populist diffusion of ideas. And I believe in making those ideas accessible to everyone.” PeopleBelieveIdeasCareArtistCultureI BelieveLevelsRoomsCitiesStreetsNew YorkCrowdsI Believe InAccessNew York CityFabricI CareWho CaresHarborsPopulistDiffusion Author:Kalan Sherrard
“I'm interested in confronting police brutality and police abuse of cracking down on street performers and street artists, but also in valorizing street art as legitimate performance within the artistic sphere, where it's so often conflated with pan-handling and begging and not "successful" art. I want to change laws around street performance.” WantArtLawArtistSuccessfulStreetsPerformancesAbusePoliceArtisticPerformersSpheresPolice BrutalityBrutalityBeggingConfrontingStreet ArtStreet Performers Author:Kalan Sherrard
“I like street performance because it's garbage time. The subway is garbage time: no one can say I'm wasting their time because they've already thrown that time into the subway. If they don't want to see me they can go to the other end of the platform. But on the street I do feel this disgust towards the audience: why would you waste your time looking at me? Why are you being so respectful of me? You should attack me.” IfsWantFeelsShouldEndsAudienceStreetsWastePerformancesThrownPlatformsDisgustingGarbageRespectfulSubway Author:Kalan Sherrard
