BROOKLYN STREET ART LOVES YOU MORE EVERY DAY
Welcome to BSA Images of the Week!
Who’s in town this week? New York is no stranger to visiting street artists, but the thrill never fades. Right now, we’ve got Kiwi sensation Owen Dippie here to blow minds with his latest piece, plus the wild Italian trio Canemorto. These graffiti-street artist-fishermen from Brianza, up North of Milan, are kicking off a three-day performance at Matta. Come by to see what is the catch of the day, and they might be speaking their own brand of “Canemortish”. The three-day event will be fresh Thursday through Saturday – let’s see what they’ve reeled in for you!
Shout out to the Brooklyn Museum, which hosted hundreds of guests at the gala opening of a new show featuring 200+ Brooklyn artists Friday night. A celebration of the museum’s bicentennial, the collection gives a stunning overview, a diverse array, and an appreciative stage for many artists working here today. The Brooklyn Artists Exhibition is organized by Jeffrey Gibson, Vik Muniz, Mickalene Thomas, and Fred Tomaselli and coordinated by Sharon Matt Atkins, Deputy Director for Art. If you can’t get to NYC, take a virtual tour of the exhibition.
Also congratulations to Museum of Graffitti for their first show in Shanghai. Co-founders Allison Freidin and Brooklyn native Alan Ket have mounted MOG’s very first exhibition on mainland China, “Street Echos”, right in the heart of the Changning District of Shanghai. A year in the making, the show combines an explanation of graffiti’s humble roots with the current status of the art form.
The pressure is high otherwise on the street with one month until the Presidential election, the devastation of Hurricane Helene killing 200+ and still crippling some parts of the southeast, our Mayor Eric Adams appears to be hanging on to his seat for the moment, people are ramping up the rhetoric against immigrants, a soaring stock market and a report by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released in September reveals why, for most Americans, the economy is broken. And we all know that it has happened steadily no matter which party was in the White House.
Tensions are sky-high on the streets with just a month left until the Presidential election. Hurricane Helene has already left over 200 dead and parts of the Southeast struggling to recover. Mayor Eric Adams seems to be clinging to his seat for now, while the anti-immigrant rhetoric is getting louder while a program 35 new billboards are welcoming. Meanwhile, the stock market’s flying high, but a recent report from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) lays bare the harsh truth: for most Americans, the economy is broken. And let’s be real—it’s been that way for years, no matter which party’s been calling the shots.
And here we go boldly into the streets of New York to find new stuff from: Joe Iurato, Veng RWK, Jason Naylor, Stikki Peaches, Muebon, CP Won, Never Satisfied, Mena Ceresa, and Brozilla.
