‘Clues About the Rest of the World’
July 24 , 2004 - August 14, 2004

| Bobby Puleo is an artist and professional skateboarder who was born in New Jersey and currently resides in Brooklyn. Skateboarding for ten years Bobby began collecting found objects from the streets seven years ago as a natural reaction to his ‘constantly looking down at the street’ while skateboarding. |
| His collections have since evolved into various categories of things, items that naturally repeat themselves in the curbs and gutters of the world. Items such as prayer pamphlets, broken cassette tapes, discarded directions, found photos, found negatives, various product packaging, post it notes and American flags. |
| His first showing of his collections was at Philadelphia’s Space 1026 gallery and opened to amazing reviews earning Bobby an article in the Sunday New York Times as well as interest from the New York Historical Society. He has since had articles published in Slap magazine, Australia’s Refill, Mass Appeal and ‘Clues About the Rest of the World’ has already been confirmed for articles in Dazed and Confused, Transworld Skateboarding and Art Prostitute. |
| Bobby’s skateboarding career over the years has been featured prominently in numerous magazines including Big Brother, Thrasher, Transworld skateboarding and Slap. He was most recently selected as one of Slap magazine’s favorite street skaters and will be appearing in his own compilation DVD showcasing some of his best skate parts to date. |

She has also shown her personal work as far as Prague and as close as Brooklyn. |
| Currently going on her second year as Director of Photography/ Special Projects Editor for Brooklyn based publication, Mass Appeal, Angela envisions, produces and hires talent for various features related to the magazine with special focus on the skateboarding industry. |
| In February of 2004 Angela started Killer of Giants.
