The clear, crisp September days, like that one 25 years ago this week, have returned to us. Street art and graffiti have morphed over the intervening years, but the feelings from that day are still raw. There are a few narratives about what happened, and who did it, and why. But one thing is for sure: many families lost their loved ones, and ceremonies on Friday brought it all back in Lower Manhattan.
Here’s our selection of new pieces from the street, this week featuring AIC Mosaic, Below Key, Benny Bean Bag, D7606, DARA, Delude, Dissatisfied, Duality Industries, Flyless, Homesick, IMSE704, JerkFace, Mike King, MUK, Never, OH!, Praxis, RX Skulls, SAKOKA704, Slasher, Smells, and Wild West.
Welcome to BSA’s Images of the Week – our selection of art on the streets that collectively document the evolution of the scene from our perspective.
It’s a rainy Memorial Day weekend in New York and many picnics, war memorial events, camping trips, hikes in the Catskills, shares on Long Island, and strolls to the park are impacted, with the dreary cold weather canceling many plans. We start our collection of photos by Jaime Rojo with a series of heroes and villains on the street – if only real life decoded the world so simply. Commemorations on Memorial Day often present a narrowed definition of loss – focusing primarily on people who fought wars in the military in defense of liberty, god, country, laudable ideals, or a mix of these. We also think of the so-called civilians who get killed during war, including those who are defenseless.
Here is our weekly interview with the street, this week featuring: Anna Frants, DARA, EXR, Frankie Botz, Fumero, Georgi Collagi, H Kubed, Ian Cinco, INFOE, Iris Van Harpen, Jeff Beler, Joseph Iroshi, Kams S Art, Katya Goltseva, Laser Cats, Lenna Art, Loretoh, Man in the Box, Manuel Alejandro, Nandos Art, Natural Eyes, Pressto, Sebastion Campnario, Trades Only Bro, and Zimer NYC.
