David Young V: Neighborhood Watch

ART PROGRAM
David Young V: Neighborhood Watch

"Neighborhood Watch is the second installment of an ongoing series by San Francisco based artist David Young V. Photos and information from the first installment, Live Forever are available for viewing at http://babylonfalling.com +. The series presents an alternate version of San Francisco after the socio-economic collapse of the world financial system and the deterioration of what we have known to be the American way of life. Civil unrest and widespread factionalizing of society result in a prolonged and unsuccessful military occupation of the Bay Area. The focus of this installment deals with people beginning to organize new forms of law and social structure amongst themselves in a city (and country) with no operational government. This results in the formation of district and neighborhood based militia groups and volunteer police forces with the intention of providing safety and security in their own territories. All works displayed in Neighborhood Watch are large-scale brush/pen & ink representations of abandoned military and public service vehicles that have been modified and re-purposed to fit the patrol needs of the local population."*
