A friend posted an article about 5 Pointz in Long Island, New York. I have heard of this place and seen small sections of it on TV. After reading this article and checking out the couple pictures I decided to look at the more image option which lead to a flickr page showing many images of the place. It’s really amazing. Not only is it bigger then what the article images make it seem, but when you look at some of the wide shots and the number of images covering the place, it’s incredible.
Now, I think that 5 Pointz it’s a great example of what can happen when you allow Graffiti in an area. When you let it happen you can get better work and it’s going to be one of those things that is constantly changing. The ones that won’t get covered are the ones memorializing people like artist Jaen-Micheal Basquiat and rapper Notorious B.I.G. Why not allow Graffiti in places? It could become a rotating work of art.
