Ben Wolf and Heidi Tullmann: A Night Wall in Williamsburg

You don’t often find a Street Artist doing an installation at night, unless it is followed by a siren..

You also don’t often find Ben Wolf and Heidi Tullman pirouetting and dancing with their shadows under blasting klieg lights, casting long shadows and painting a pointy Elizabethan finger. Call it luck or a curse to be creating in Williamsburg after the fall of Williamsburg, where the last vestiges of Street Art are being politely expunged and the 10,000th flat screen is being hung in the 30th glass box building. An apparition of the early settlers, the duo enact a painting play to be captured by curious cell phones on the way to clever cocktails.

In the morning sunlight, the brightly primitive pointer could be a rude gesture, slightly indicting, or merely a helpful directional signal for the wandering mistaken artist in search of Bohemia – pointing east to yonder Bushwick, Bed Stuy, and Ridgewood.
