The developers who whitewashed the street art at the legendary Queens graffiti hotspot 5Pointz want to paint over bad feelings and lure artists back to the site.

UMM. WHAT!? Basically, we took the art down, and taking down other artists' art is how we expressed our art, which happens to be a luxury tower? Is that what that says?

“We love the art and that’s why it’s coming back in some fashion all around our building again,” Wolkoff said. “You’re rebuilding a form of art as well. Architecture is a form of art. To express that in a physical being is expressing art…. We took it down, we did what we had to do to express our own art.”

You might like the graffiti art show at 25 Kent. It's almost like a museum show - very comprehensive. https://www.6sqft.com/the-worlds-lar...-williamsburg/
