Orange Ribbon
I photographed it yesterday but it was just more construction clutter on East Houston Street. Then I was clued in on EV Grieve. “Back in December 2009, tape artist Sam Bassett put his signature touch above the Os Gêmeos mural at Houston and the Bowery.” Legendary Skewville used to use construction orange camouflage all the time to get their stuff up.

Gamma’s questions for hitchhiker longevity. Is it out of the way? (It must not poke you in the eye, or trip you). Would a human be unable to remove it bare handed? 3- Is it easily mistaken for anything other than street art? If answer yes to all of these questions, it may remain in place for years. Rotgut for example. Click the tags below to find out more.

    Thanks, overdue, I mention Sam Bassett on the blog post. I should have also said it here.

    I think this ribbon sculpture is brilliant! Another feat from Sam Bassett.
