Take a Bag Leave a Bag

Take a Bag Leave a Bag
A little ugly, but a good idea.

On the Bowery in the East Village. I’ve noticed that a lot of the Obama posters and stickers put up during the election would soon be scratched and torn. But I imagine if someone had the temerity to express their admiration for McCain in a sticker that it would not survive long at all in this neighborhood.

STIKMAN, LA II , CELSO, INFINITY
(& introducing: C-Beauty)

November 14 – November 30, 2008

Opening Reception – November 14 from 6pm -10pm

Factory Fresh is located at 1053 Flushing Avenue between Morgan and Knickerbocker, off the L train Morgan Stop

New York City street artists Celso & infinity present A Maze, an exhibition and installation of work based on networks and passages. A gallery-sized, 7-foot-tall maze, constructed entirely out of original art, will immerse participants in a multidimensional environment designed to overwhelm the senses.

The work invites viewers to choose their path to a destination that, ultimately, is unknown. Random decisions have to be made at each artistic obstruction: Continue right or left? Go back and chose another route? The end result could offer great reward. Likewise, it could be a dead end. You choose.

The New York Times described their most recent collaboration, Post No Bills, a street art gallery in Long Island City as “Audacious.” The new show also features work by mysterious street art shaman Stikman, graffiti artist LA II (Little Angel Ortiz, a protégé and collaborator with street art legend Keith Haring) and also introduces the graceful and intricate art of Cbeauty.

A Maze is a site specific installation made for Factory Fresh that is curated and conceived by Celso and infinity in an attempt to better understand the challenges presented by working in an ever changing artistic landscape.

I must stop, turn around, bend down and take a photo. So commands the hypnohand.

Sidewalk Flowers Refurbished

Sidewalk Flowers Refurbished
I’ve seen several of the neighborhood’s sidewalk flowers freshened-up with new paint, lots of new paint, resulting in smears and many footprints.
