Here Comes The Neighbourhood
HERE COMES THE NEIGHBORHOOD is a Short-Form Docuseries exploring the power of Public Art and innovation to uplift and revitalize urban communities. The Pilot Season revolves around the Arts District of Wynwood Miami, featuring an array of internationally acclaimed and locally respected Street Artists, Graffiti Writers and Muralists.
In 2009, Urban Visionary and Placemaker Tony Goldman partnered with Jeffrey Deitch (Deitch Projects Soho and now director of MoCa Los Angeles) to create the Wynwood Walls.What began with a series of parking lots, loading docks, and drab rundown factory buildings, became a curation of high caliber murals from Futura, Shepard Fairey, OS Gemeos, Kenny Scharf and others. The Walls opened for Art Basel 2009, and now two years later the collection has expanded to include over thirty artists from around the world, becoming a “Town Center” in a district that has grown into one of the largest concentrations of commissioned murals in the World.
This year Artists, many of whom have not shown work in the United States before, were selected by Tony Goldman, Goldman Projects Arts Manager Meghan Coleman and Art Consultant Medvin Sobio of the Visual Arts Collective Viejas Del Mercado. 33third Los Angeles, Mid City Arts, and Montana Cans worked together to provide paint for the project’s ambitious expansion.
HERE COMES THE NEIGHBORHOOD explores a unique juncture in history as a new community emerges and evolves. A progressive urban revitalization campaign is examined in the first person, using this year’s new Artists and their commissions as a lens to explore a neighborhood in transition. The Series is framed by colorful overview and concluding episodes, providing the scope of past, present and future. Each episode is accented by images from legendary Documentary Photographer Martha Cooper, who has been capturing The Walls since they began in 2009. Her Photographs will also appear in a Special Edition Art Book “The Wynwood Walls and Doors” set to be released at Art
Basel 2011.

Inner Vision
Living in a world of “breaking” news, in a world that information serves the weaken purposes of a few, in a world that the disastrous end seems to be near by our refuge is our memories, our childhood, our lost innocence, the truly free moments we have lived.
When our eyes close and rest, the kid we have purposely neglected and trapped deep inside in our subconscious, awakens and asks a bit of the stolen happiness the few and the powerful stole from us, claims the right to live unconcerned and free despite the grey reality we have to indulge and endure. The child in us sees through the blackness and fire of the modern metropolitan cities, the flower that blossoms.
The child in us sees through the lies and the fall of man, the hope that arises. The child in us, our inner vision is the personal treasure each one of us keeps in the inside, it is the miracle each one of us needs to awaken from the lethargy and overthrow it’s oppressors.
