5Ptz Graffiti

5Ptz, also known as 5Pointz, is a public graffiti art exhibit. Artists spray paint their work on the exterior of a warehouse building. It represents the unification of the five boroughs of New York City and has unified graffiti artists from around the world, including Japan and Brazil. The warehouse is only a short walk away from MoMA PS1.

The back side of the building is visible from the 7 train between the 45 Road-Court Square and Hunters Point stops. Many people like to take pictures of the art work from inside the moving train.
