The transformation of SoHo-based gallery nine5’s walls from “a private space into a public sphere” has begun with expressive murals — from the playful to the political — by TATS CRU, Ket and Bisco Smith. Here’s a sampling of what’s been happening:
TATS CRU‘s BG183 at work to the right of Bio and Nicer
Ket installs dozens of newspaper articles illustrating human sufferings, largely the result of wars
And paints over them
With quote from historian and social activist Howard Zinn
And Bisco Smith — in from the West Coast — graces the wall with his distinct aesthetic
The public is invited to observe, explore and join the conversation as Vor138, Shiro and Rubin415 contribute to the further transitory makeover of gallery nine5. Keep posted to StreetArtNYC for updates and, if you are in town, be sure to check out the opening reception on July 17, 6-8pm. gallery nine5 is located at 24 Spring Street in SoHo.
