Subway Abstract
Don Sicher
CuratorTom Egan chose the work for the hob’art cooperative gallery exhibition, Markings, to offer a dialogue on how surfaces are changed by the addition of any line, scratch, pattern, color, or random marking. Examples of drawing, painting, printmaking and three dimensional art by members will be displayed.
The hob’art co-operative gallery, with membership from Hoboken and the metropolitan area, exists primarily to serve the community by providing a showcase for fine art and in doing so support local artists in their efforts that their “voice” be heard.
“A community that supports the arts, is a community that thrives.” - Lynne Grasz, President of the Edgewater Arts Council.

Hello Fukushima / Death by We
Lower Gallery
Thursday, February 2 – Wednesday, February 29
Artists Reception: Sunday, February 5, 1 to 4 p.m.
Artist's statement:
The Nuclear technology is like opening a wrong door in the basement where there are many, many Hitler’s clones and your late naggy mother-in-law is watching American Idol on a flat screen TV with many, many pickle jars around.
Yes, we have committed Taboo. The disaster of the Fukushima Nuclear Plants has given me a very profound idea, “What Death really is.” And what I got is “Radioactivity is a perfect substitution of Death.” “Radioactivity is the death that is temporarily under control. Temporarily means temporarily, so sooner or later an expiration will have to come someday. However almost all the people would believe “Oh, If Nuclear Plants are out of control, we all are gonna die. But we don’t have to worry about it because very smart people handle them,” like you may think “Oh, Death will come to everybody, absolutely, no exception but me.”
On March 11, 2011 Fukushima Nuke’s time had expired and the Death came out of pots of the reactors and said, “Hello Fukushima, I’m your original party animal” in his Shocking pink adidas training suit and jogging shoes ready for jogging around the country and the whole world. Because he is conscious of health and always On Time.
Death by We
Nuclear Error on the wall of Public bathroom: After almost 1 year, astronomical amounts of Radioactivity have continued leaking from the reactors of Fukushima Nuclear plants every day. Now entire Islands of Japan have been contaminated thoroughly with Radioactivity that is carried by air, food, water, and the strange government. The entire country is like a public bathroom. Japanese people who are known world-wide as ‘thoughtful’, ‘patient’, ‘polite’ even at extremely hard times have become stressed being in the bathroom for a long time and forever and ever. But instead of letting their anger explode they are scribbling and graffiting their curses on the wall of the public bathroom because they are very ‘thoughtful’, ‘patient’, and ‘polite.’
