A1one in STENCIL NATION

I picked up a new book on stencil art at MoMa's bookshop on Thursday. (Howze, Russell. STENCIL NATION: GRAFFITI, COMMUNITY AND ART. Manic D Press, San Francisco, 2008.) 'recognized many of the artists whose work I'd just seen at the Cans Festival in London. I love the diversity of what's included here. I wish, though, that there had been a stronger sampling from Tel Aviv. Its two pages devoted to TA stencil art -- despite its inclusion of Ame72 and Rami Meiri -- are hardly indicative of what's happening there. 'was glad to see A1one's work represented.
