Re:Public

I started a New York street art column for ArtCat Zine in August 2008. The column explores the fast-evolving street art scene and its obsession with public/private space, breaking rules, and visual language.

This column is currently being published on the “World’s Greatest New York Art Blogazine,” Hyperallergic.
