My name is Phillip. I’m a 29 year old account planner,or brand planner, or strategist or whatever you want to call it at an “internet” advertising agency called razorfish in New York. I’ve worked for retail giants, pro-sports teams, electronics, on big american cars, and come up with quite a few inappropriate ideas for male hygiene products. My job entails explaining social concepts and trying to generally be “up” on stuff like trends, people’s habits, media, the things that may interest my clients (especially when they have no idea how it would interest them). I live in the East Village (best place I’ve ever called home) and like attend loud concerts as well as quiet ones. Food and drink is also a big part of my off time pursuits. This is some of the stuff I run into on a daily basis. “the way to be interesting is to be interested” -R.

There’s a sublime disregard in the pictures; it’s art against art like Kruger’s sentences are ads against ads. But as an artist, Ai can’t destroy art, he can only make more. From one urn, he gets three pictures. If I went into the Hirshhorn, grabbed one of the photos off the wall, and let it fall to ground like I didn’t give a fuck, I would be arrested and taken to jail.
