But the Puerto Rico Schwinn Club dominated Havermeyer and Grand with their chomed, beautifully restored and modded bikes, and gave me plenty to shoot.

Imagine yourself behind the wheel.

Definitely the slickest shave-ice cart I’ve ever seen.

Times-up was there doing bike repairs, but not much other than vending was happening when I arrived. These hand-painted helmets are lovely, and reasonably priced. bellehelmets.com

Iconography, A Reflection of Anonymity

Featuring the work of Matt Siren, Peat Wollaeger (stenSOUL), Royce Bannon, Chris & Veng of Robots Will Kill and 2Esae & SKI of URnewyork

New York City is rich with colors, sounds, textures, personal exchanges and human interactions, a scene constantly in motion. Through the busy veil of urban lifestyles is an artistic detail that binds the city together. Mighty Tanaka is excited to present: Iconography, A Reflection of Anonymity. Featuring the artwork of Matt Siren, Peat Wollaeger (stenSOUL), Royce Bannon, Chris and Veng of Robots Will Kill and 2Esae and SKI of URnewyork, they represent an accurate cross section of the street art one finds in NYC and beyond.

Each artist demonstrates their own personal blend of techniques and styles as they have developed a highly personalized means of branding their work, and ultimately, themselves. The icons they choose to place on the streets hold an individualized significance, a means of projecting self onto a surface interpreted by the general public. Their work represents a generation’s visionary artistic approach to the urban landscape.
Through a variety of methods including wheat paste, screen print, spray paint, stencils and more, their chosen techniques encompass a broad spectrum of what one encounters on the streets today. However, it is the integrity of the iconic imagery that translates the rawness of the streets into the refinement of the gallery setting.

A small piece but one of the favorite things I saw, artist unknown to me.

The Christian Paine piece looks in a style he was using five years ago, though most of them deteriorated quickly in the weather. I always like the name, even more blatant than Lost’s Christian Shepard, and the fact that he was putting out one-ups, original paintings on paper.

Grandfather by Gaia. Gaia is a young talented painter and printer, the placement of this piece is ballsy.

Babel Code : osmotic transmissions, Art from the minds of AVOID & Infinity – details
# Location: Mighty Tanaka Studio in D.U.M.B.O
# Duration: May 21st – Jun 11th, 2010
# Cost: FREE
# Contact: Mighty Tanaka , alex@mightytanaka.com

Thought provoking Street Artists AVOID pi & infinity team up for their first duo show together entitled Babel Code. Peering through a semiotic Petri dish intermixed with sub-conscious communication, Babel Code uses primitive and mystical sources as well as runic references, which charges the works of art with a power and energy beyond the objects themselves.

Babel Code challenges the viewer to reconsider the basic notions of communication and cultural change, while providing a closer look into the artist’s own techniques of non-verbal interactions. Building upon a symbolic language shared by both artists, their influences range from a resonance of mixed signals and errant transmissions.

Their symbolism ranges from introverted Platonic deliberation and chemical structures to numerology and DNA; anything and everything from hobo marks and astronomy to grammar diagrams and physics equations.
