NYC graffiti gets shittier and duller and dumber and more debased by the day.
ReplyDeleteWish this wall still had the curated art that was so nice for so long
ReplyDeleteWith all the graffiti, everything is beginning to look the same in the LES.
ReplyDeleteSome of the people adorning the wall with pieces that aren't just extinguisher messes, or pantone-tinted d**k measuring contests, would LOVE the wall to be back to featuring the talents of international artists. The materials and time it would take to put up something great just aren't worth it with the current graffiti regime trying to own it.
ReplyDeleteThese folks that, 'took the wall back for the city,' are now the same ones deciding who's 'cool enough,' to be on it. Genuinely curious to know how that makes them any better than the 'evil' art foundation that curated the wall previously?
Ironically, these same adults (30, 40, 50-somethings in a lot of cases), laud Wynwood as a street art/graffiti mecca conveniently ignore the fact that the event was created by the same org that maintained the Bowery for so long.
The hypocrisy and eye roll inducing stupidity is baffling.
