Rosson Crow, "Bowery Boys"

As I was down in SoHo this afternoon, I stopped off at Deitch Projects to check out Rosson Crow's exhibit "Bowery Boys," -- just a few hours before its official opening. I was not familiar with Rosson Crow, but I've never been disappointed by any exhibit at Deitch. And this one wasn't an exception. I was mesmerized by the brashness and boldness of Crow's paintings referencing NYC's outlaws. Only when I read the press release did I discover that the painter is a female. I wouldn't have thought so. The exhibit continues through March 27th at 18 Wooster Street. 'can't imagine SoHo without Deitch Projects. I will miss it.

Bombs and Throw-Ups

I always wondered what was on those parking lot walls -- always blocked by cars whenever I passed by. Well, tonight I finally found out -- layers and layers of bombs and throw-ups. I had the place almost to myself while walking across town on West 17th Street after dark.
