UP MAGAZINE: Upper and Lowercase: The Letter Speaks
A historic convergence transpired this past Thursday at Studio 6 Gallery on Rivington Street with the opening of Upper and Lowercase. Three kings of the letter: BANDO, T-KID 170, and SHOE merged in the cradle of graffiti culture for a show that honored their irreplaceable contribution to concrete authorship. Together and independently, these vanguards shaped and propelled the evolution of urban text through their own distinctions and innovations, transforming letters into written art.

UP MAGAZINE: Loves me, Loves me not: Epic Uno and the Language of Taste
Epic Uno is a man of focus, curiosity, and acumen. I first noticed these attributes around the pool table at Studio6 when he, in a very gentlemanly manner, sent me and my womanly pool shark bravado packing in a game that felt more like a high stakes chess match than a recreational Tuesday evening activity. As I became more aware of his work, that same essence of unmistakable assurance and calculation was highly visible in the depths of his visual language. Something he established through consistent practice and discernment.

UP MAGAZINE: Studio6 Gallery is Bringing Back Respect for Artists
Nestled near the corner of Rivington & Essex in Manhattan’s Lower East Side sits Studio6—a new kind of gallery space where street art isn’t just framed on walls, it’s the crux of the entire operation. And behind it all with support of his co-director and team, is SacSix, the street artist-turned-curator whose mission is as upfront as the wheatpastes he once stuck to lampposts: bring back the respect for artists.
