New York Street Advertising Takeover

Photo from New York Street Advertising Takeover
Last year a bunch of people covered up around 120 illegal billboard ads around Manhattan, New York City. Twice! A very big undertaking in itself. Then as soon as the paint was dry the same billboards were covered with art, in one form or another. They called it New York Street Advertising Takeover. Here is a few shots from the gallery on Nysat’s page.

Unbekannt (Unknown) exhibition in Berlin

Photo by Timo Stammberger

Upcoming photo exhibition in Berlin next week. Exhibiting will be Timo Stammberger and Norman Behrendt. Looks very cool.

Graffiti writers and other urban artists who work in public space, significantly influence the appearance of many cities and especially that of Berlin. In the exhibition “Unbekannt” (“Unknown”) the two Berlin based photographers Norman Behrendt and Timo Stammberger show portraits of some protagonists of these often difficult to access scenes.
