I passed by Denise Carbonell's former spot on Stanton Street last week and came upon this exhibit in what is now the NY Studio Gallery. I was mesmerized by everything about it -- from its title, "Can't Live the Commonest Way On Six Bits a Day" to its subdued palette. 'so glad to discover Charlotta Janssen's images inspired by American photographs of poor and working-class Americans captured around the time of the Great Depression.

East Village Postal Sticker Art
While walking through the East Village yesterday, I discovered some stickers I hadn't seen anywhere else in town. In addition to the usual suspects such as Faust and Jesus Saves, there were stickers such as "Full Bleed" (center) that were new to me. My son, Dani, had told me that there are some hot stickers on St. Marks Place. He's right.

East Village Sidewalk Art
This caught my eye as was walking through the East Village earlier today. It reminds me of some of my creative writing lessons!

The Door on Rivington Street
When I first started documenting street art -- about two years ago -- this door on Rivington Street was one of the first sites I noticed. It was graced with a stunning Swoon piece. Since, it has gone through many reincarnations. This is the latest.

L'Atlas @ gallery nine5
I had received an email early last week from L'Atlas that he was in town for a solo exhibit @ gallery nine5 on Spring Street. I had seen his work this past summer in Paris. Though I never got to meet him, I went with my intern to the exhibit on Friday. 'found it quite mesmerizing. But I would have loved to see some of his work on the surrounding streets. The exhibit continues through Nov. 6th @ 24 Spring Street. 'would have loved, too, to take some photos of it, but that was against the gallery's policy. (A policy -- I think -- all galleries should rethink these days.)
