Brooklyn Street Art: 2010 Year In Images (VIDEO)

December 20, 2010 Artists, Brooklyn, Florida, Manhattan, Miami, NYC, On the Street, Queens

We’re very grateful for a wildly prolific year of Street Art as it continued to explode all over New York (and a lot of other places too). For one full year we’ve been granted the gift of seeing art on the streets and countless moments of inspiration. Whether you are rich or poor in your pocket, the creative spirit on the street in New York makes you rich in your heart and mind.

To the New York City artists that make this city a lot more alive every day we say thank you.

To the artists from all over world that passed through we say thank you.

To our colleagues and peers for their support and enthusiasm we say thank you.

To the gallery owners and curators for providing the artists a place to show their stuff and for providing all of us a safe place to gather, talk, share art, laugh, enjoy great music and free booze we say thank you.

To our project collaborators for sharing your talents and insights and opinions and for keeping the flame alive we say thank you.

And finally to our friends, readers and fans; Our hearts go out to you for lighting the way and for cheering us on. Thank you.

Each Sunday we featured Images of the Week, and we painfully narrowed that field to about 100 pieces in this quick video. It’s not an encyclopedia, it’s collage of our own. We remember the moment of discovery, the mood, the light and the day when we photographed them. For us it’s inspiration in this whacked out city that is always on the move.

Images of The Week 11.14.10 : Dude Company Special

November 14, 2010 Artists, Brooklyn, BSA Images Of The Week, Manhattan, new york, NYC, On the Street, Week in Images

Our weekly interview with the street narrows this week to show you photos of a visit to Brooklyn from French Street Artist “The Dude Company” and a cool shot of Lister at the end.

A glorious autumn day and room to experiment a bit on a rooftop in Brooklyn. BSA invited The Dude Co. to put up an installation on a rooftop in Brooklyn and he happily and giddily obliged. The space was open to his interpretation and he decided to try out a repetition across the middle expanse as tribute to one of the best American actresses this country has given to the world, Gena Rowlands, who turned 80 this summer.

The repetition of her head in the installation is a nod to her depiction of a person unglued and in turmoil as her life swirls nervously beyond her control; Rolands’ emotional, Academy Award-Nominated performance in the movie “A Woman Under The Influence” in 1974, directed by her husband John Cassavetes?

Providing a bookend effect are his skater boy (created from a photo by Brooklyn artist Carlito Brigante) from earlier this year and an old favorite, his stencil of singer Erikah Badu.

And to end this week’s selection we offer a bonus image of a Lister we found while window shopping in Manhattan. Think there were some masks by the artist inside too.

The Dude Company Special: New Pieces: Big Ups To BKLN

May 28, 2010 Artists, Brooklyn, NYC, On the Street

Dude’s Got Skillz

Damn, Son, some street arts artists in BK are seriously bringing it this spring, and the results are there for anybody to see in this gallery of the street.

Here are very recent stencils and wheat-pastes by one of the more enterprising new talents on the scene, The Dude Co.
In this new series The Dude continues to pay homage to BROOKLYN, some of its distinctive landmarks, skater kids, and hip-hop musicians from all over.
Despite the subjects, none of it is POP, rather it can be startlingly sincere. In color, composition, and context you’ll have to admit he’s killing it.
It’s evident that The Dude Co. is a fan of New York, and with this new collection, some New Yorkers will undoubtedly be a fan of The Dude.

Fun Friday 05.21.10 from BSA

May 21, 2010 Artists, Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, NYC, On the Street, Queens

Thanks to everybody for the shout-outs about Fun Friday. We love you too.

Style Curator Natalie Kates Went to the “Street Art New York” Auction with her Video Camera

I saw her at the party/auction/fundraiser on April 24th at Factory Fresh but I didn’t know she was shooting a video! So cool because she captured the fun crowd and the funnier DJ mixologists Sifunk and Garmunkle, who really rocked our already over stimulated brains with a rhythmic cut-copy-paste blend of funkiness. (get Paul’s New Mix FREE here) Anyway, thanks Natalie!

Free Arts NYC

And on that note, thank you to all of the street artists who generously donated their time and work and creativity to the auction, which raised $16,000 for the programs at Free Arts NYC. Thank you also to the staff and many volunteers who helped make that show work – BSA recommends these people and these programs that provide valuable services to our neighbors and to NYC kids. A number of Street Artist already know about their programs and have volunteered as Big Brother/Sister mentors and worked with kids and families in the programs. Here, Cynthia and Alexis talk about their experience:

This year again, Free Arts NYC has committed to serving an additional 1,000 children to meet the high demand in New York for their programs. We hope you will consider donating today by clicking here to help them reach this important milestone and close the remaining $25,000 gap needed to expand their programs.

“UR New York” Shows You How They Do It

UR New York, true born and raised New Yorkers, not transplants like most of us, are taking their street art game another step forward in a positive way. You see their cool canvasses, but do you have any idea how many steps are involved in making a print?

Here’s a studio stop-action video that shows how the New York Duo 2Easae and Ski just churned out their first print called “Arsenic” with Art Asylum Boston. They only made 10, but it looks like a lot of effort. Using cans and brushes, these brothers are combining the best of their experience into their work.

Ron English Hits the Welling Court Walls Early

UR New York, Street Artist Ron English has put up a bunch of new wheat paste posters on the Welling Court Mural Project in Queens, NY. The festival starts tomorrow and already the stuff that is up is worth the trip for this community event. English is taking the opportunity to lambaste Consumerism, Greed, Militarism, Religious Hypocrisy, Romanticizing Guns, and Advertising Hammerlocks on your Head — you know, all the lite topics – with a variety of graphic lampoons a la Mad Magazine in the 70’s.ee

ROA on the Roof

You may have missed this, and I’m so happy with it – so that’s two really good reasons to post this new NEW YORKY video we made with ROA this week. Have a great weekend!

Street Artists Give to NYC KIDS: A gift of Art and Self-Confidence

April 27, 2010 Artists

With 60 artists, 73 artworks, over 500 guests, and a happy vibe created by the mad-scientists Sifunk & Garmunkle at music mission control, the Street Art New York Silent Auction Benefit for Free Arts NYC was a huge success. At the end of the night most of the walls were bare, and most of the pieces remaining had been purchased by absentee bidders. With animated conversations, excited bidding, and occasionally rambunctious dancing (Andrew), the night was really an excellent example of how the street art community is alive and well, and how the work of street artists is in demand.

Thank you to Ali and Ad at Factory Fresh for co-hosting the event, thank you to all the volunteers from Free Arts NYC who helped to hang it, pack it, and execute the auction, and special thanks to all the artists who so generously donated their pieces to the event. Also special thanks to all the blog friends (so many!) who wrote about this event and all the people who Tweeted it continuously, as well as the print publications who helped get the word out. We hope to thank you all personally some time, if not via email. Because of your help, the gallery and back yard were jammed with more people than anyone could remember.

Thank you to Reid Harris Cooper for sending us these pictures he took at the crowded party (we threw in a couple crowd shots from the cellphone). Reid actually scored the Blanco piece in the auction. If anyone else has pics from that night we would love to see them.

Copulation Dancing MEETS Extreme Sports

And AMAZING Art & Vector Insanity …MAJOR LAZER

Directed by Eric Wareheim

Edited and Animation by Zachary Johnson & Jeffery Max fatalfarm.com

Art and Vector Insanity by Kevin O’Neill & Karisa Senavitis willworkforgood.org

Produced by Clark Reinking

Says Will Work For Good, “We worked with Eric Wareheim on the aesthetic direction for his video for Major Lazer’s “Pon De Floor” featuring some of NY’s raddest dagga dancers. We wanted to take them off the typical club floor and put them on more mundane floors in an imaginary neighborhood where they could go about their business in private. All of the home environments were created as large paintings which were then photographed and transformed into a bizarre real estate fly-through by the dudes at Fatal Farm. Additionally we created a series of vector patterns used for the “otherworlds” featured throughout the video. All in all a sick mix of low/high tech and Eric’s always awesome visions.”
