Welcome to BSA Images of the Week.
This week we see the rubber band of normal expectations is stretching and contracting in the city, whether you are referring to the Omicron wave, the students who walked out of classes this week, the new graffiti show at Phillips, uneffective politians, a stagflated economy, a volcano, and ongoing drums of war with Russia. It’s like all the chaos of the 1970s but without waterbeds or Patty Hurst. Also, marijuana is legal this time. Speaking of the 70s, here’s how to Dress Like Alana Haim in Licorice Pizza.
At the moment in New York most of us are staying off the street because it is bitterly cold outside. We had a wind chill of -1 degrees fahrenheit (-18 celcius). Not a lot of graffiti and street art goes up during this weather.
But that doesn’t stop us from going out to shoot it!
So here’s our weekly interview with the street (in New York and Miami), this week featuring 2OX Crew, Arson, ATOMS, Boy Kong, Buff Monster, Ivan Poque, Jason Naylor, Jimenez, Kern Myrtle, MrKas, Patrick Kane McGregor, and Pleks.
