Gabriella Gómez-Mont: Lugar: Writer’s Bench NYC

Dice el Animal New York blog, que encontré via C-Monster:

Since the M.T.A. doesn’t appreciate the historical significance of the subway graffiti movement and in most cases refuses to even acknowledge it, this new “unsanctioned project” that utilizes the “camouflage of design to lend stature and authority to the Writer’s Bench at 149th St and Grand Concourse” is not only fitting, but in many cases necessary. Artist Yale Wolf has been putting up faux SubTalk posters in stations and even installed a plaque at the legendary Writer’s Bench, the focal point for graffiti artists during the early years where they would meet up to compare notes, trade flicks, swap stories, and show off blackbooks. Photographer Erik Burke documented the educational campaign that attempts to recapture and broadcast this important piece of New York City history.
