The 5,000 square foot floor, which MOMO painted in a stunning geometrical kaleidoscope of color, was just the start. MOMO used his signature vivid, geometric shapes to create 3 unique styles of trainer. During the production process, the leathers are cut to form randomized patterns, resulting in 3 final styles that even MOMO can’t predict.

FRONT DOOR BOOK

Posted on 2009-09-21

Archivist, artist, and designer (among many other things) Clayton Patterson has documented life on Manhattan’s Lower East Side since the mid-1980s. The Front Door Book presents images and recollections of the people that have, in Patterson’s words, formed “a summation of everything I have learned.” The photographs in the book were taken outside of 161 Essex Street (Patterson’s home and gallery space), through the years 1985-2002
