I came across this video as I was mourning the demolition of 5 Pointz and thought it was amazing! A group of street artists gave the inside of a massive warehouse a completely new look and the video documents that transformation. Their incredible talent and the video editing, with its playful camera angles, made it mesmerizing to watch. Check it out!!
The Arts in New York City
Professor Judell / MHC @ CCNY / Fall 2013
Wow, that was amazing! When I was younger, I watched a documentary on graffiti artists and what struck me was how many of them were really passionate about graffiti being art. Of course, living in NYC, we see it everywhere and it’s more of an eye sore than anything. Though it is a nuisance and probably causes store owners more bad than good, I like to appreciate the graffiti I come across. It’s hard work!
