Schools out but we didnt pay attention to the teacher and drew pictures in class… and on the walls too. Now we’re all in detention. Lucky for us we have some friends joining us for this pop-up graffiti/ street art show!
Here’s our weekly interview with the street, this week featuring A Dying Breed, B.D. White, Chris (RWK), Cost, El Niño de las Pinturas, Jilly Ballistic, Pose, Revok, Rime, Rimx, Robert Janz, Vers, and Zimer.

We really are so damn lucky to be here in NYC. The cultural offerings are always varied, plentiful, inspiring and in many cases FREE. Of course the rent is too high and your bedroom can accomodate a bed or a dresser but not both, but when you hit the streets the cultural stimulation never stops.
For example, newly arrived Noo Yawker Jon Burgerman practiced his good posture and accentuated his down jacket this spring by traipsing through the streets and across the Williamsburg Bridge balancing bananas on his head.
From Jon’s most recent and exhausting email, “Sometimes the things you see (on the street) are rather lovely, like the blossom on the trees and people outside drinking coffee and graffiti so fresh the paint is still wet.”
Hats off to the BOS crew who have laid the foundations for the new artists and curators to grow upon.
BOS ’11 – Bushwick Open Studios is in it’s fifth year and many newly minted blogs and curators are discovering this once desolate industrial pit. It’s still a pit, but at least it’s not so desolate — it also helps that high rents elsewhere have created this steady river of people flowing out of the L train Morgan stop.
Speaking of which;
IMPORTANT TRAVEL ADVISORY: The L train will NOT be running between Manhattan and Brooklyn for the entire weekend. Take the JMZ trains instead and you’ll still get dropped right in the middle of it.
Below are our picks, and while our focus is primarily on Street Art artists and events, please hit the BOS site to take a look at the complete list of events and shows:

POPUP STUDIO: THE DAWN OF CELLOGRAFF
Witness the latest innovation in graff, popup events and all things DIY as four artists paint live on temporary shrinkwrapped, cellophane walls. CelloGraff’s a game changer, providing endless possibilities for expression as new walls can be thrown up, on a whim, almost anywhere. But if you don’t give a shit about the art, there’ll be potent bevvies, two of our favorite DJ’s, and some of the bestest people in Brooklyn.
– Artists: SEEONE, RIMX, MARTHALICIA & GIA GUTIERRREZ
– Vibes By: DJ P.U.D.G.E and Daniela
– $3/$4 Drinks
– Come early for lite grub
ABOUT CELLOGRAFF
Cellograff challenges the notion that graff needs an existing wall to paint on, and chooses instead to put up their own walls, using industrial shrinkwrap. Check out videos of the original CelloGraff crew here: http://www.cellograff.com/home.html
