Cool Hunting
Taking street art, er, beyond the street, Judith Supine took to the waters of the East River in New York recently with a guerilla floating installation. His colorful, awkward and—at times—political collage works can be found around lower Manhattan and Brooklyn, but this is the first time (that we know of) that he's created a floating piece.
Did you catch his hanging banner on the Manhattan Bridge a few weeks back? Expect more wild but carefully thought-out work from him in the near future.
Go here for another video of Supine from a few years back, this time putting up a politically-charged piece on the Army Recruitment Center in Times Square. His reason for putting it up: "to quote E.E Cummings 'there is some shit I will not eat.'" See more images of his wheat-paste work here.

To propose an alternate use of these city spaces, Seiler organized the New York Street Advertising Takeover, a network of citizens set out to transform the spaces into...
by Ariston Anderson The Neo-Con Collective, made up of New York street artists Aakash Nihalani, Ellis Gallagher and Poster Boy, along with U.K. graffiti legend Zeus, hit up West Hollywood recently with a group exhibition of prints, photos and mixed media. Their shared technique of playing off what already exists in the urban landscape defines the group's work. While these tweaks to city sidewalks and...
A street art pioneer, Lee Quiñones made the move from subway cars to canvas proving that "a true art movement never goes by the script." His first solo exhibition in Italy in nearly 30 years at the Galleria Il Trifoglio Nero entitled Truth & Consequences is a great example of Quiñones' adroit ability to integrate both street culture and art history into his work. This...
