I like the images he posted up in london in preparation for his show at laz. I wonder how he will sell works? Just stock photos? That would be kinda boring. Or photos of the photos on buildings?

I had wondered how his art would translate into the gallery setting, but it looks as though he was able to maintain the "feel" of his work quite nicely. By pasting his photographs onto uneven pieces of wood, aluminum, and even a mirror, he was able to emulate his famous style on a smaller scale.

Looks like he's working on a film from his "women are heroes" series.
