X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p><strong>About the Exhibition</strong></p>\
 n<p>These striking images unveil a multitude of layers\, showcasing the in
 terplay of countless graffiti artists\, event posters\, witty and impassio
 ned phrases\, absurd statements\, juxtaposed photographs\, radical ideas\,
  and vibrant splashes of color from spray cans. The exposed nature of publ
 ic spaces renders these surfaces susceptible to the elements\, causing the
 m to weather\, fade\, buckle\, tear\, and fragment\, resulting in incredib
 ly textured and tactile compositions that beg to be explored even by touch
 . David Spitzer\, an acclaimed Miami-based photographer\, rises to the cha
 llenge of capturing dissimilar and seemingly discordant visuals that defy 
 traditional notions of exemplary design. His quest has led him to the vibr
 ant streets of Toronto's Old King Street\, the pre-gentrification Soho in 
 Lower Manhattan\, and the urban landscapes of Melbourne\, Australia\, wher
 e he meticulously documented the thriving graffiti and street art scenes.<
 /p>\n<p>With a rich artistic background that includes numerous solo and co
 llaborative exhibitions\, as well as publications in books\, periodicals\,
  and album covers\, Spitzer's dedication to his craft is evident. Formerly
  a Professor in the Art &amp\; Philosophy Department at Miami-Dade College
 \, he now devotes his time to his photographic pursuits\, exploring new ho
 rizons in digital and color imagery. His ever-expanding repertoire encompa
 sses various architectural and sculptural periods\, captivating reflection
 s\, legendary Jazz and Blues musicians\, and captivating glimpses of natur
 e discovered during his travels across the United States\, Canada\, Europe
 \, and Asia.</p>\n<p>Submerge yourself in the expressive world of David Sp
 itzer's prints\, which have graced the walls of prestigious institutions s
 uch as the Art Gallery of Ontario\, Midwest Museum of American Art\, Cedar
  Rapids Museum of Art\, San Jose Museum of Art\, and The New York Public L
 ibrary-Lincoln Center\, as well as numerous esteemed college and universit
 y venues.</p>\nhttps://mdpls.libnet.info/event/8888086
