When “City as Studio” opens today in Hong Kong, it will mark the arrival of the biggest exhibition of graffiti art the city has ever seen. Arrayed across the shopping complex of K11 Musea are more than 100 works that track graffiti’s stunning trajectory, springing off the subways cars of New York and highways of Los Angeles to emerge as a global art and market force.
The show has as its curator Jeffrey Deitch, the artist, writer, and gallerist who isn’t just the latest guy to bring graffiti art to Hong Kong, but is quite likely the first.
Deitch, who grew tight with the genre’s leading artists in the mid 1970s when he moved to New York, had accompanied Dondi, Futura, and Zephyr to Hong Kong in 1982. The artists painted a parking garage, which eventually became the I Club, marking the Wild Style pioneers’s first-ever visit to Asia.

On 17th October 1821 Alexander Gardner, renowned photographer of the American Civil War was born in Paisley.
Gardner became an apprentice jeweller at the age of 14, lasting seven years. He had a Church of Scotland upbringing and was influenced by the work of Robert Owen, Welsh socialist and father of the cooperative movement. By the time he reached adulthood he and his brother James had the idea to create a cooperative in the United States that would incorporate socialist values, they travelled to Iowa with this in mind in 1850, Alexander returned to Scotland to raise money for the project and purchased the Glasgow Sentinel, quickly turning it into the second largest newspaper in the city.
On his return to the United States in 1851, Gardner paid a visit to the Great Exhibition in Hyde Park, New York, where he saw the photographs of Mathew Brady for the first time. Shortly afterward, Gardner began reviewing exhibitions of photographs in the Glasgow Sentinel, as well as experimenting with photography on his own.
In 1856, Gardner decided to over permanently to America, eventually settling in New York. He soon found employment with Mathew Brady as a photographer. At first, Gardner specialized in making large photographic prints, called Imperial photographs, but as Brady’s eyesight began to fail, Gardner took on more and more responsibilities. In 1858, Brady put him in charge of the entire gallery.
Two years later, Gardner opened a portrait studio for Brady in Washington, D.C. It was so successful that it helped to support Brady’s more extravagant New York studio.
When the American Civil War erupted in 1861, Gardner assisted Brady in his effort to make a complete photographic record of the conflict. Brady, however, refused to give Gardner public credit for his work. Gardner therefore left Brady in 1863, opened a portrait gallery in Washington, and continued to photograph the hostilities on his own. His photographs President Lincoln on the Battlefield of Antietam as seen in the photos and other portraits of Lincoln are among the best-known photographs of the war period.
Gardner’s Photographic Sketch Book of the Civil War, a two-volume collection of 100 original prints, was published in 1866. When Brady petitioned Congress to buy his photographs of the war, Gardner presented a rival petition, claiming that it was he, not Brady, who had originated the idea of providing the nation with a photographic history of the conflict. Congress eventually bought both collections.
In 1867 Gardner became the official photographer for the Union Pacific Railroad. Primarily active in Kansas, he photographed the building of the railroad and the new settlements that grew up near it. He also compiled valuable photographic documentation of the Plains Indians of North America.
Returning to Washington, he gradually lost interest in photography and devoted the rest of his life to philanthropy.
In 1871, Gardner gave up photography entirely to start an insurance company. He lived in Washington until his death in 1882. Regarding his work he said, “It is designed to speak for itself. As mementos of the fearful struggle through which the country has just passed, it is confidently hoped that it will possess an enduring interest.”
The first pic is of Alexander Gardner, next is Ta-Tan-Kah-Sa-Pah (Black Bull) of the Brule-Sioux tribe, North Dakota, President Lincoln on Battle-Field of Antietam and Abraham Lincoln and his son Thomas, then Lewis Payne, one of the men involved in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and finally the Leavenworth, Lawrence, and Galveston Railroad Bridge across the Kaw River at Lawrence, Kansas, in 1867

14 with Steven Grant?
Little one’s first trip to the zoo or aquarium
“Big bird!”
You and Steven chuckled as your 2-year-old pointed out the giant stork in front of you. You knew she was going to enjoy the zoo. She already seemed to develop a love for animals. If it wasn't for the songs she listened to that featured them, it was definitely the animal/human illustrations she saw in her papa's books on Egyptian deities.
"Kaw-shoo!"
"What was that, love?" Steven asked Marcy, peering down to her stroller to see she was still staring at the large bird with great curiosity. "Was that a sneeze?"
"Kaw-shoo!"
You giggled, realizing what she might be trying to say. "I think she's saying that bird is Khonshu,"
Steven's eyes widened and then he let out a laugh with you. You didn't think your daughter was capable of understanding who the moon god was. Then again, you do talk about him almost on a regular basis. Not to mention he was depicted in some of the texts Steven has shown her. So you supposed she would've developed an idea of who he was sooner or later.
"Nah, Khonshu is way bigger," Steven explained to Marcy. "And these guys are way too friendly looking. He's more like a scary, old vulture."
He leaned down to growl playfully at her while making his hand look like a claw about to grab her. He received a squealing giggle in response as well as her mimicking his actions.
A kiss to her head, and he was soon back up to push her stroller to the next exhibit. You went on with your day. And even though you couldn't see it for yourself, you just know the god was grumbling to your husband about his comments.

teissir "weave"
teissir /tiˈsɪr/ [tɪˈsɪː]
knit, weave, spin, to form something by passing lengths or strands of material over or through themselves;
plait, wreathe, braid, interweave, to weave together the strands or locks of;
devise, plot, scheme, concoct, to come up with a plan or similar undertaking;
put together, compose, connect, join up, to bring together disparate elements into some sort of network or chain;
deduce, infer, to come to a conclusion;
tell, narrate, to describe events in the form of a story
Etymology: originally in the first senses, from Old Boral teissir, tistre, teȝsre (among many other forms) "to weave, work with thread". These all derive from either Latin texere "to weave" or a Late Latin texēre exhibiting a change of conjugation. Use in the narrative sense is attested as far back as the Classical period; much of the metaphorical usage is likely extended from this first idiom.
Cal mocry son il teissent oy?
