My (public) Space from Pilar Haile-Damato on Vimeo.
This short documentary on the work of PublicAdCampaign’s arousingly recalcitrant Jordan Seiler was shot and edited by Pilar Damato. Jordan’s unbending mission to directly confront advertisement’s encroachment on our public space, despite its daunting odds, is a powerful presence in the street art community.
Sweet Toof of Burning Candy just rolled the city for a little trip and hit some spectacular spots. Apparently it still is up to the out of towners to hold New York down right now! Photo credit to Rebecca Fuller and Luna Park of the Street Spot… Duh!
Ginkopress has released a 30 year retrospective of Dan Witz’s street work and fine art. From the site: ” A benefit of having one of the most sustained careers in street art, if such a thing exists, is the degree of growth, freedom and experimentation that such an extended period allows. Another advantage would be the influence of the aesthetic environs within the changing cultural landscape, especially if you happen to work in New York City.”
You can check out The Street Spot’s studio visit with the master himself over at The Street Spot.

A little insight into the mechanisms of their process. I’ve been in the studio personally, all I have to say is that I feel terrible for the next person who sublets their place and that these guys are the fucking shit. http://www.urnewyork.com/

Granted they are all in Williamsburg, it is super nice to have Ludo visiting New York refreshing some old locations. I especially like the first image which takes a new approach to an aging and primarily rectilinear faile spot. More photos over at the StreetSpot
