The Chop Shop’s always poppin. The legendary Shut Skates crew came by last
week to get quality cuts from top barber Mr. Bee. Peep the group photo - from left to right: Mr. Bee (Chop Shop), Javier Nuñez, Adam Schatz, Rodney Smith, Michael Cohen & FELIX. Don’t hesitate to check Shutnyc.com for products, photos and updates.

Wise words from the Shut crew  "If you hang around the barber shop long enough, you’re gonna get your hair cut"
"Don’t act like you don’t know."

  

11 Spring Street Project

Friday, December 15th, 2006

For the past few months now, dozens of artists have been secretly installing the biggest street art exhibit of all time inside of 11 Spring Street. The outside of the epic five-story brick building has long been a destination for graffiti artists looking for a place to curate their work, but the inside has always been a mystery. The building looked abandoned, but candles burning in the windows every night proved otherwise.

Whoever was living in 11 Spring, they decided to put the building on the market a few years ago. Being in complete disrepair and warehouse-sized, it took a long time to sell, but 11 Spring was finally bought this year by a husband and wife. Luckily for the rest of New York City, the couple just happened to be art-lovers who appreciated the building’s graffiti. They got in touch with Wooster Collective, and together they came up with the project: A street art exhibit that covered the entire inside of 11 Spring. The opening party is today, Friday the 15th, and the show runs through Sunday the 17th. After that, the building will be cleaned thoroughly, and all the art will be destroyed.

Don’t be square.

I Shot the Sheriff

Thursday, December 14th, 2006

Uncle Murda’s recently released "I Shot the Sheriff" seems to be a direct response to the slaying of Sean Bell in Queens. While this isn’t necessarily the opinion of Frank151, this video is definitely a product of rising tensions. This could be the ‘Fuck the Police’ for 2K7.

Creative Camaraderie

Wednesday, December 13th, 2006

Artists MINT & SERF came together on Thursday, November 16th for "Creative Camaraderie." The event, sponsored by Boost Mobile, features over two dozen works including the vinyl hybrid MIRF sculpture. The show was dope, as was the turnout, despite poor weather conditions. Spectators were so eager to see the show they had no qualms about wearing those little blue booties so as not to muck up the fresh turf inside.Mintserf3Mintserf2Mintserf1

God King

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

King Gyanendra of Nepal finally had his God status stripped las week, which means he actaully has to pay taxes now. It looks like he put a lot of that leftover money into headware. Hopefully his hat game won’t suffer after being de-deified.
