There was a great energy throughout these events. Re:Form School brought together a very interesting group of New Yorkers for a great cause. The art was priced at extremely accessible prices so I’m pretty certain most of the work sold.
From all the submissions, only 5 artists were chosen to exhibit their work.
The panel of judges included:
Russell Simmons – Def Jam Records
Shepard Fairey – Artist
Rosario Dawson – Actress
Davis Guggenheim – Director of “Waiting for Superman”
Ann Miller – Director of the Society of Illustrators
Wendy Kopp – Founder – Teach for America
Ivan Shaw – Photo Director – Vogue from all the submissions to exhibit their work

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
i agree4
