A new exhibition at ACA Galleries, Phase 2 Myth Conception: A Survey 1972-2019, surveys over five decades of work from the late artist Phase 2, born Michael Lawrence Marrow. Phase 2 is widely considered to be the first artist to popularize the bubble letter styling of graffiti, or what he called "writing", on New York City subway cars in the early 1970s. He would later be a central player in the birth of hip-hop in the Bronx, and the fashion and B-Boy culture that flourished as a result. Curator Mikaela Sardo Lamarche and artist Seku Grey, Phase 2's nephew, are with us to talk about his legacy and the exhibition, which is on view until June 30.
