A new exhibition opening tomorrow in Chinatown celebrates a decade of one of New York City's most recognizable graffiti tags.
Blankmag Books, 17 Eldridge St., north of Division Street, is hosting the release of "six letters four numbers," a limited-edition photobook by Jared Orellana documenting JIM JOE's graffiti across the city from 2016 to 2026.
The 300-page volume, published by Blankmag Books in an edition of 250, serves as a visual archive of the elusive artist's work as it appeared — and often disappeared — across New York's ever-changing streetscape.
The book release coincides with a group exhibition featuring Orellana and other photographers who have documented JIM JOE's work over the years, offering multiple perspectives on the artist's evolving presence throughout the city.
The opening reception is Friday from 6-9 p.m. The exhibition remains on view through Sunday, July 19.
