Wooster On Spring - Our Video

So we went down to the Wooster On Spring art thing this morning and where blown away by it all. We took some video of what we saw on our little photo-camera - so please excuse how fuzzy it all is - hopefully it will convey how beautiful the space has become.

We’ve said before that we believe that street art is one of the most important cultural movements of our time and that was echoed in the work and even in the words of the artists who came to see the opening and spoke to the crowd. Marc and Sarah of the Wooster Collective have got together all the friends they have made over the last few years and asked them to contribute some work to this space. These include:

Shepard Fairey, WK, Jace, Swoon, David Ellis, FAILE, Cycle, Lady Pink, London Police, Prune, JR, Speto, D*Face, JMR, Blek Le Rat, John Fekner, Bo and Microbo, Above, BAST, Momo, Howard Goldkrand, Borf, Gaetane Michaux, Skewville, Michael DeFeo, Will Barras, Kelly Burns, Abe Lincoln, Jr, Thubdercut, Judith Supine, Rekal, Maya Hayuk, Anthony Lister, Stikman, You Are Beautiful, Gore-B, Elboe-Toe, MCA, Jasmine Zimmerman, Plasma Slugs, Diego, RIPO, The Graffiti Research Lab, Txtual Healing, Mark Jenkins, Dan Witz, Iminendisaster, Rene Gagnon, and others.

One of the fascinating aspects of urban art is the temporariness of it all. We have previously written about the fact that after the 3 day show ends is only will be covered over and the space converted into apartments. And when we arrived today we found all the art that had been added to the outside of the building for the last few weeks was gone: New York’s Anti Graffiti police had painted over it (Luckily we passed by last night and took a few photos of the outside minutes before the police arrived - you can see them on Flickr here). And maybe this says something about the show - maybe it reflects the street art and the beginning of of it too. If you know what we mean.
