His works engage these concerns through forms of urban expression such as skateboarding, hip-hop, graffiti, BMX bike riding, break-dancing and most recently, extreme sports. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com   Regina Jose Galindo Exit Art Gallery, New York, NY USA United States of America Regina Jose Galindo - the second exhibition in Exit Art's SOLO series and the first in the Performance in Crisis program - is a ten-year survey of performance and installation work by the Guatemalan artist Regina Jose Galindo. The highlight of this important retrospective is the New York premiere of a new work, Cloth, to be performed only once: on the opening night of this exhibition.

The theme was "Art Stimulus Plan 2009-2010," which was the focus of my speech which went very well and provoked some pretty cool discussion. Here's the speech: "I'm here to talk about art, but I need to say something here first that's weighing heavily on me. You may also feel the same. I'm finding what's happening in this country right now very troubling. The conflict, the fear, the rumors, the meanness, the drama, the political game playing on all sides, the over-arching philosophy of the day that says if I don't agree with you or you don't agree with me, then you must be destroyed. We have got to stop this. We're like a dog chasing its tail. It's like we're children hopelessly trapped in the oral phase of our psychological and social development. We have got to evolve past this.
