Nhon Nguyen... Bus Stop Series Two (Route 7, Seattle Metro). "...I first started out putting my work on buildings along Route 7. The pieces didn't stay up for very long, people would snag them up after a few hours or so. A lot of the pieces went down with the buildings in downtown as they were demolished for reconstruction. I then started noticing these new bus stops that were being constructed all over the place. I then started throwing up my pieces on these bus stops. I was restricted to only one size and format for these bus stops but that just made my design more challenging." From Route 7 Gallery. Public art, installations, and paintings on canvas by Nhon Nguyen, a.k.a. Nhon9.
"America was never innocent. We popped our cherry on the boat over and looked back with no regrets. You can't ascribe our fall from grace to any single event or set of circumstances. You can't lose what you lacked at conception.
"Mass-market nostalgia gets you hopped up for a past that never existed. Hagiography sanctifies shuck-and-jive politicians and reinvents their expedient gestures as moments of great moral weight. Our continuing narrative line is blurred past truth and hindsight. Only a reckless verisimilitude can set that line straight."

"The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words."
