5pointz (according to Wikipedia) "is an outdoor art exhibit space in Long Island City, New York, considered to be the world's premiere "graffiti Mecca," where aerosol artists from around the globe paint colourful pieces on the walls of a 200,000-square-foot (19,000 m2) factory building. (....) It was announced in March 2011 that Wolkoff (the owner) plans to redevelop the property to build high-rise residential towers, putting the future of 5 Pointz in jeopardy."
Well, apparently they will be putting it down in September
. So here are some pix for you to get a feel. It's a pretty cool place. I'm glad I got to go there before leaving.
5 Pointz (selon Wikipedia) est considérée comme la "la Mecque du graffiti", où les artistes de toutes origines réalisent des œuvres colorées sur les murs d'un bâtiment d'une usine de 19 000 m². (...) I a été annoncé en Mars 2011 que le propriétaire envisage de redévelopper la zone pour construire des immeubles résidentiels, mettant 5pointz en danger."
Eh bien, apparemment ce sera démoli en Septembre. Donc voilà quelques photos pour vous montrer. C'est plutôt sympa comme endroit. Je suis bien contente d'y être allé avant de partir.
