The Adventures of Darius & Downey, Dig This, and more

Books, Exhibits, Travel

• As told to Ed Zipco by Leon Reid IV and Brad Downey • With the heft of a respectable tome on art theory comes a true-crime story with two lovable vandals as the villains. Darius and Downey met in 2000 while students at Pratt and quickly evolved from graffiti taggers to masters of surprise who work by the light of day. Dressed as city workers, they calmly swap messages on street signs or bend poles into a delicate kiss. A photo gallery of projects illustrates their works' shelf life, sometimes as brief as an hour. Thames & Hudson; $29.95
