THE NEW TIMES HOLLER! is an online newspaper that looks into social, scientific and cultural events and the individuals and concepts involved in them. The publication’s investigations sometimes reach for the intangible, asking readers to fathom hurricanes, the meaning of the imagery in sidewalk cracks, and the plight of a grain of rice. Nowadays THE NEW TIMES HOLLER! is the written word distributed through an Email list. The newspaper began as mixed media sculpture with each letter hand stamped onto aluminum plates and inked. Here are two examples of the earlier visual editions, The Media Trial of J.J. Fauntleroy, and “Where Have All the Homeys Gone?” aluminum, copper, brass, acrylic, plywood and ink, both done in 1995.

The Media Trial of J.J. Fauntleroy is the story of a 1960s skillsies champ and movie star who was accused of murdering his wife after his Jeri Curls were found on the bodies of her and a friend in J.J.’s kitchen. It was part of a retrospective of work by Amir Bey held at The Emerging Collector gallery, New York, New York.
