moving in!

September 2, 2008 – 12:01 pm

now that beautiful losers has moved out of 255 Elizabeth, it has been reset to white and Y&B is moving in! we just started to transform the space a couple of days ago and are steady on it. it’s been a pretty big learning experience so far. learning when to slow down with the spray paint, and switching to the pens. or watching a friend start something, and adding some thought behind it before spreading like a wild fire. running around from project to project making sure everyone is still on the right path. i’ve already made some mistakes but i’ve got quick recovery so it’s all good. these are some shots I’ve taken so far.

when we moved in, we had such a huge empty space aaron started to run around like a little kid. “yo slow down!!”i had to scream.

thinking about the bathrooms in high school and what went on in there brings back a lot of funny memories. we’re re-visiting some of those moments in the very own bathrooms of the 255 space! on the walls the student body would rebel, calling out the gossip on campus and the peer to peer beef with scribbled one liners like “becky’s a slut!”. the graffiti heads would experiment with their styles and throw up tags. but it was always the janitors job to come in and clean it all up, erasing the defacement, but refreshing it for more. this is the story of the janitor vs the students. a never ending battle! who will prevail? find out on Sept 28th!
