has been for sale for some time, as you have seen. The maintenance and ongoing development to keep our non-profit and idealistic platform for contemporary art running and safe from hackers etc. costs money that is no longer there. Because of small investments that are necessary now and the running costs, we will have to shut down with a heavy heart at the beginning of summer on June 21.
I really liked the textures and shadow play on this large corrugated steel building. All along the bottom are pieces of street art that have probably been in existence since the early 90's judging by the fading and style.
Believe it or not, there wasn't a whole lot of post processing in this one and the color came out great. Another back ally vignette.
I love walking the tracks in industrial areas. The backs of these huge factory hangers provide street artists with a expansive canvas and a low profile. I don't support vandalizing small businesses, homes, or historic buildings, but I feel these soulless blank walls are open season. The scale of this piece could be the largest tag I've ever seen and looked to have been done with paint squirter of some sort. Go big or go home I guess.
This area can be kind of rough and run down even as Lawerenceville become gentrified by Butler Street. I had no problems on this day though but a few weeks later I heard that a body was found not far from where this shot was taken.
Out for a walk in lower Lawrencevile Pittsburgh. The back roads and hidden corners hold a lot of interesting details even as the rest of the community becomes more trendy. The street art is still respectable and in a vain attempt to maintain the illusion of a real neighborhood , the locals don't seem to be covering it up.
