Welcome to BSA Images of the Week. This week in New York, we had a Chinese New Year, the beginning of Ramadan, the beginning of Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday and Ash Wednesday), and we are expecting our first blizzard in 8 years. Minneapolis wants all of ICE out of their city and state, The Supreme Court struck down Trump’s tariffs, the US is ramping up military threats toward Iran, and Mamdami is threatening to either tax the middle class or the ultra-wealthly.

Street artist/kinetic artist/commercial artist Felipe Pantone debuted his“Visual intensification: Focus” installation on the XO/Art Exosphere project at Sphere in Las Vegas, and it is blowing minds and stopping traffic (video below).

Another Sphere alum, Shepard Fairey has a new exhibition, Modular Frequency, opening this week in LA that distills three decades of modular geometry, street-campaign punch, and layered mixed-media into a tight visual rhythm drawn from Constructivism, propaganda graphics, and pop-culture overload.

Artist Luke Egan and Pete Hamilton, also known as the street art duo Filthy Luker & Pedro Estrellas, whose waving tentacles tickled the yellow BVG U-Bahn cars going in and out of Nollendorfplatz during the UN Biennial in 2019, is again surprising and startling people on the streets of Boston for their Winteractive festival.

Also, check out Say She She, a Brooklyn trio of female singers who are part of a larger 70s disco and soul revival a la Nigel Rodgers and Chic. They played at Greenpoint’s Warsaw last night, followed by an afterparty at Williamsburg’s Baby’s Alright. Video at the end of this article.

Here’s our weekly interview with the streets, including RnO, City Kitty, Chris RWK, ZOVER, KRS, The Postman, DELUDE, TwoFive, OH!, RIBET, HELCH, WILD WEST, and Robinson Moreno.
