I commute in and out of the city every day and without fail, I always look up from my book or whatever I'm doing to look at that building rush by. It's beautiful! I've always wished I could stop there and look at it but I know I'll never get around to it, so all I ever see is glimpses of it at 60 mph. Now I have your photos saved on my computer and I finally know a bit of the story behind it. What an incredible place! I’m really grateful you posted those pix.

Thanks for the photos. The concept is provacative on several levels:

___ Is there room for a co-operation between the building owner and the artists, over subject matter, scale, color for background etc.?

___ Has this helped the rest of the neighborhood not be a target for less-responsible artists?

___ Is this a way for the huge upkeep costs of painting a building like this one to be born by the community in exchange for creating something interesting (and hopefully uplifting and a source of community pride)?

___ Will other building owners be willing to provide their building’s canvas if safety issues and creative issues can be successfully addressed?

Why wasn't I told that? But, time and time again if you look, you'll find that things just aren't only the way you have come to think that they are.

As a child I was told, “this is the way it is done”. Knowing little to nothing else, I desperately wanted to believe that I now knew how it was done. But later I looked and saw others doing it, and they weren’t doing it the way I had learned. Eh?
What’s this? How could that be?

Oh?!? So there’s more than one way to do things? Why wasn’t I told that?

But, time and time again if you look, you’ll find that things just aren’t only the way you have come to think that they are. Even in mathematics you’ll find that meanings and formula change with the change in type of equation.

Albert Einstein said that there is order within disorder and disorder within order. Take that to heart and get on with appreciating what is.

[My two cents]… And I love it, it’s
really cool and I’m in NYC where I can
take pictures of it myself this summer.

He is trying to get certain areas dedicated to the art so the tag artists can have a place to legally present their pieces. Hopefully, this will encourage others to fallow, artists and building owners should both be happy with this idea. This allows artists to sort of police each other instead of being supressed by the "man". As a community we should support ideas like this and promote more open minded thinking, if we don't then who will?

I was always a believer that "art has a frame" and I don't think this contradicts that. By saying that art has a frame, we tend to think too literally. Having a frame only suggests that someone put it in a frame because it meant something to them and they wanted it displayed. These walls are full of that kind of art. People found things that meant something to them and displayed it (in a very large way). The fact that someone else like you found it fascinating and chose to display it yourself backs up this notion. I find it very depressing to think that the people who painted that art are highly criticized and sometimes punished. They have truly found a creative outlet and while it may not be smiled upon now, it certainly will soon enough. Just as Picasso or Van Gogh were rejected in their time, they were recognized later and are now among the most famous artists known to man. Once again, I loved what you did with those pictures.
