Buzz Spector is an American artist, writer, and educator whose work explores the relationships between public history, individual memory, and perception. He is known for his sculptural and conceptual use of books as both subject and object, employing stacking, tearing, and reconfiguration to examine how meaning is shaped and transformed through the material presence of language.&nbsp;Spector has presented solo exhibitions at the Art Institute of Chicago, Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington DC, Huntington Museum of Art in West Virginia, Mattress Factory in Pittsburgh, Qian Juntao Museum in Jiaxing, China, Saint Louis Art Museum, and Rockford Art Museum in Illinois. His work is included in more than fifty museum collections worldwide.&nbsp;In addition to his visual practice, Spector has written widely on contemporary art and culture for publications including Artforum, American Craft, Brooklyn Rail, and New Art Examiner. He is the author of&nbsp;The Book Maker's Desire&nbsp;and&nbsp;Buzz Words, and his experimental writing has appeared in journals such as Benzene, Cafe Solo, Posit, and River Styx. He lives and works in the Hudson Valley of New York, continuing to shape contemporary dialogues around books, memory, and the visual language of text.

Breaking&nbsp;explores the world of grassroots drifting through Peter Lupkin’s immersive “Gonzo Portraiture.” Embedded with Fort Wayne’s Team Breaking, Lupkin reveals the humanity behind the sport—its community, rituals, vulnerability, and unexpected tenderness—capturing a culture where connection matters as much as control.Drifting is a motorsport in which drivers intentionally slide their cars sideways by breaking rear-wheel traction, controlling the skid through balance, throttle, and precision. Judged for style rather than speed, it is a grassroots, self-funded culture built on passion, improvisation, and collective effort.Breaking&nbsp;takes its name from both this technical moment and&nbsp;Team Breaking, the Fort Wayne drifting group that welcomed Peter Lupkin into their world. Through full immersion—riding along, sharing meals, and spending long nights in garages—Lupkin developed an intimate understanding of the community that fuels the sport.
