NEW YORK, NY.- Benrimon Contemporary
presents a
group exhibition that demonstrates the trajectory of the history of
graffiti in
New York City. Graffiti NYC: Artists of the Third Rail is curated by
Molly
Sampson in collaboration with Mario Ramos (ARE) and Claudia Bumbac
(DIA), owners
of 1HUNDREDB; a Lower East Side storefront gallery that serves as the
mecca of
NYC urban art and graffiti culture. Aerosol Art has festooned New York
City’s
concrete facades and steel traincars for over four decades, it began as a
humble
trend of “tagging” in 1969 and transformed into what is now referred to
as
street art. On view 15 July through 10 August.
