Wooster on Spring
12/17/06
The Wooster Collective put together the greatest set of graffiti and street art I've ever seen in one place in the former candle building, 11 Spring Street, a longstanding open-air gallery of street art (seen here in June 2004). This is the last chance, as demolition begins tomorrow; the indoor art will be sealed behind drywall as a time capsule. Here's the backstory.
More from 11 Spring on Flickr: mine and other people's.
Here's a video of the absurd line to get in on Sunday. And a Times article with the backstory.
Gothamist has a very comprehensive look inside.

Thanks for sharing those shots. I was pretty upset to be out of town during the whole exhibition.

Wow. Do the authorities leave artwork like that, or do they remove it like any grafitti?
