A pop-up exhibit — celebrating the release of WK‘s fourth book WK/ACT4 (DRAGO) and the launch of his partnership with KLINIK — opened on Tuesday evening at The Garage in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District. A huge range of work — from mixed-media installations to huge murals — is featured. Here’s a sampling:

And tomorrow — Wednesday evening — at 5pm, Tyson, a dear friend of the Bushwick Collective, is opening his doors to his new restaurant, Arrogant Swine, at 173 Morgan Avenue.
Bushwick Collective founder and curator Joe Ficalora invites the Bushwick Collective fam to head over there. Expect to dine and wine with DJ’s, fire breathers, free tattoos and more surprises, along with a newly completed mural by Sexer.

Huge fans of stikman — in all his permutations — we were delighted to discover how active he’s recently been in Little Italy, particularly on Mulberry Street. Here’s a sampling of what we discovered this past week:

For the past few days, we New Yorkers have been treated to a Hot Mess, the wildly expressive aesthetic of Montreal-based Stikki Peaches. Brought to us by Station 16, a Hot Mess, Stikki Peaches‘s first international exhibit, found a transitory home here at 345 Broome Street. Here are a few more images:
One of many skulls
And a somewhat wider view of the transformed Broome Street space
For some insight into it all, you can check out Yoav Litvin‘s interview with Stikki Peaches here.
