Wooster on Spring
11 Spring Street has a reputation: built in the nineteenth century as a stable and carriage house, in recent years its facade has become a must-hit for practitioners of graffiti art and a must-see for those who prefer the term “street” or “ephemeral” art.
Recognizing its importance to a subset of the art world, the real estate developers who recently purchased the building decided to work with the excellent Wooster Collective to organize a free installation of work by some significant street artists. After three days, the art will be torn up or torn down to make way for expensive condos only a subset of the city can afford.
A small piece near the entrance summed the show up best: "What a beautiful crime."
