Here’s a piece by Elbow Toe that will be in the show:

Interview: Elbow-Toe Hits Up Streets of London

Update August 5: This Dan Witz piece was a definite favorite. Each face was done with the care of a portrait.

And it gathered an appropriate amount of awe from the crowd.

A detail. Oil and mixed media on canvas.

C-Monster has more coverage.

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. (more…)

The guy in the top left corner was taping dollar bills to the window, writing such things as “please recycle,” “no value,” etc. The British guy in the bottom right corner said that it was valuable to him, and took a bill.

Update from Jeremiah’s Vanishing New York:

Bowery Outsiders

“On Friday night, Slacktivist John Penley was on hand for the Outsiders art show at 282 Bowery, the former Adams Restaurant Supply…With no placards, chants, or crowds, the silent protest looked a lot like part of the show. Something Penley himself observed, chuckling as he taped dollar bills to the “gallery” window, each bill graffitied in black Magic Marker with the words “worthless,” “eat the rich,” “riot.” Every time he taped another dollar, a flurry of cameras snapped him in action. It might have been performance art.”
