On a lunch break walk earlier this week, I happened to go by the former Deitch Projects wall to see street artist Kenny Scharf spray painting a colorful, psychedelic mural. The wall has been the site of several curated murals, starting with a reproduction of a Keith Haring mural and recently an ill-fated Shepard Fairey paste-up followed by some creative tagging by TWIST. The wall is at Houston and Bowery, and is now being curated by the Hole NYC. I read that this current project is going to include street art on metal shop shutters in the neighborhood. I’m excited to see a little more color on the streets with all this dreary weather we’ve been having lately.
Allez, Allie!
