Joe Boruchow began making paper cutouts while stenciling posters for his Philadelphia based rock band The Nite Lights. As his stencils became more intricate and less durable he began making prints from the cutouts and the resulting black and white images they produced have become a mainstay on Philadelphia’s posting boards and telephone poles.

The first is a show that I curated in New York on the Lower East Side at InvisibleNYC. I know it is late notice, but if you are in town, and have time to stop through, the opening is today (Thursday, November 20tt). The opening starts at 7:00pm and goes to 9pm.
For this show, I picked three great friends who all have a unique style.

Russell Howze is takin' it to the streets. Hitting the road this month in support of his summertime release, Stencil Nation: Graffiti, Community, and Art
Tonight's one-hour presentation will focus on an overview of the art form, verbal and visual, including a slide show, examples of stencil art from around the world and actual cut stencils. In addition, Howze plans to go hunting for some of Philly's own stencil art. "I'm looking forward to wandering some alleys and streets in Philly so I can find some work to put on my Stencil Archive Web site," says Howze. "It'll be good to go back to the source of modern graffiti as we know it, which started in Philly and blew up in NYC soon after. Personally, I think I enjoy discovering it more than anything."
The online magazine Aeroart has recently launched it's third issue dedicated to the stencil movement in Romania. It contains pictures from galleries such as Stencil Exhibition and A-camp, but also presents works done by The Orion, Coate Goale, Otaku and many more.
