In a nation where the American dollar seems to matter more than the American life, native New Yorker creative Maia Lorian in collaboration with veteran NYC street artist Abe Lincoln Jr. have released A Presidential Parody, an ad campaign addressing our nation’s misplaced priorities.
A variety of advertisements — reflecting Trump’s “all American” values — can be found throughout NYC from the Lower East Side to the Upper West Side. Featured above is a satirical ad for Trump Tower. Several more follow:

Trump’s Bistro
On the streets or Manhattan
The Miss Oligarchy Pageant
On the street
All four posters have been added to the permanent collection of Poster House, the first museum in the nation dedicated to the art of the poster.
With a background in comedy and improv, Maia Lorian has been featured in a range of productions including: Flight of the Conchords (HBO), The Onion News Network (IFC), a plethora of college humor videos that have gone viral and a series of films by cult filmmaker Mike Kuchar. She has also worked as a performance facilitator for Marina Abramovic’s piece Generator and has been featured on Saturday Night Live.

Inspired by the wide range of street art that surfaces daily in Tel Aviv and beyond, street art enthusiast, educator and tour guide extraordinaire Dina Segev began sharing her poetry on public spaces about two years ago. Whether working alone or in collaboration with other artists, Dina is thrilled to express her poetic musings where others may unsuspectingly come upon them.
For her solo exhibition at Florentin’s legendary Tiny, Tiny Gallery, Dina has worked on a wide range of upcycled materials. “I found them all,” she told us when we stopped by while she was installing her works in perhaps the world’s tiniest gallery!
You can meet Dina tomorrow, Friday, December 21 between 1:30 PM – 3:30 PM, celebrate her opening and view her new works on a range of repurposed materials at Florentin 18 in Tel Aviv.

Introducing the general public to an eclectic range of outstanding street artists from across the globe while boosting the development of the local street art scene, the third Russian biennale Artmossphere is now near completion. A particular highlight of this year’s Artmossphere was Shepard Fairey’s huge outdoor mural, Tunnel Vision, inspired by the bold aesthetics of Russian Constructivism. Several more images — representative of the wonderfully diverse artwork that made its way into Artmossphere 2018 — follow:
