Suffolk Street Bike Lane
Sunday, May 23rd, 2010
Earlier in the day. last Friday, I saw them doing a hasty patching job on this stretch of Suffolk between Rivington and Delancey. It was sorely needed it, as you can see from the unpatched area to the right of the green paint. This street leads to the Entrance to the Williamsburg Bridge for bikes and people and is much traveled by bicycles.

Synagogue on Norfolk Street, south of Delancey. The woodwork decorating the upper left window remains, but the one on other side is just covered with plywood. Beth Hamedrash Hagadol
The Boxer
Thursday, May 20th, 2010
The Boxer. My guess is this is a neighborhood street art hater, not an art schooler, like the Splasher of yore. But active street art hating is definitely a trend. Before
But this one came out kinda pretty.
Update, May 21: Another Beau, defaced in a similar manner, this one on the Lower East Side. Maybe it’s not an angry neighbor.
Babel Code

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 , [email protected]
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.

A Theft
Thursday, May 20th, 2010
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, From a speech before the American Society of Newspaper Editors, April 16, 1953
34th president of US 1953-1961 (1890 – 1969)
Crane Barge Again
Wednesday, May 19th, 2010
I had high hope for progress on the East River Promenade when this crane barge showed up a couple of weeks ago, but I can’t see any major change between May 9th and the 19th. I’ll try to get closer to the same perspective the next time I get a shot from the bridge.
There was work being done further south of the barge.
