If you've followed East Village Art back in the day you

should be familiar with Shalom Neuman, Konstantin Bokov

and Kevin Wendall. These artists have endured over the years

and their work is a tribute to their tenacity, humor and creativity.

Shalom Neuman's talking heads are constructed from found objects,

mostly broken kid's toys. Shalom was part of the Rivington school,

welding found objects together and displaying them 

in Sculpture gardens and galleries. At the same time Shalom

was currating the Fusion Art Gallery and Museum at 56 Stanton

street in the Lower East Side.

"Talking Heads" by Shalom Neuman have a switch that turns

on a recorder in the Head Box that talks.

Kevin Wendall's career started in New York as well,

making him a viable third part candidate for this significant Triad.

A well known graffitti artist in the 70's and 80's who creatively

disfigured billboards and advertisements, scraping out letters to give

them new meanings. He's been awarded the Findland Travel Grant and
