During our talk at the Brooklyn Museum the Street Artist Swoon was asked by someone from the audience if she ever felt nervous putting art on the streets. She responded that she did experience a surge of nervous feelings whenever putting work up in public. Swoon added that she felt that she had been neglecting the Borough of Brooklyn…well it looks like she’s has made up for that.

With six new installations for The Bushwick Collective she has been leaving her offerings on the streets of Brooklyn again. Don’t forget that the Brooklyn Museum is running a competition – just record a little Instagram video of your discovery and send it to the them to enter it. Even if you don’t see these new installations you could still record an Instagram video about the first time you saw a Swoon piece on the street and submit your video for the chance to win a mystery, special guest.
