From Bushwick

Every day on my way to the Jefferson St. L train I see this, read it, and think about it. The creator is Skewville, a twin brother artist duo active in transforming the Brooklyn landscape. A recent proposal, the Bushwick Art Park is visualized as a “green space” on a blocked-off Vandervoort Place, with murals painted on bordering buildings, and sculptures installed in the road. With the park, Skewville aims to connect the long-existing population of bodega owners and industrial workers with the young people (often called “artists”) who arrived more recently, creating one thriving community.
Art & Stuff: Pilfered Annex

Our East Coast friends are at it again. Leah Goren & Diwa Tamrong (founders of LVEO) were asked to curate the December edition of Pilfered Maganizne’s, The Annex. “Founded on the spirit of web democracy, and built to aid in communicating ideas and concepts,” Pilfered is an online publication that encourages “artists, photographers, designers, and the inspired” to share striking visuals they’ve pilfered from the web. The issue is available for download here. Please view it and spread the good word.
