I came across this tiny tenement on Avenue A this morning. (“How to Survive Death”– Brick, mortar, wood, steel, tar, roofing paper, acrylic paint) It is a collaboration between Benjamin Armas and Ori Carino. They have a show coming up at the Van Der Plas Gallery at 156 Orchard Street, Nov.8 to Dec 8. I thought this was a unique way to promote their show.

The metal sculpture in the foreground is based of a now gone Lower East Side junk sculpture.

Tiny mural.

Assembled brick by brick.

Ori Carino

Mars Bar as it was in August 2005.
Ori Carino is probably best known for painting the murals on the old Mars Bar.
