amsterdam. the show will run until april 20, 2009.

‘in the past few years much of my neighborhood in brooklyn has been torn down 
to make way for luxury housing. for better or worse it’s a whole new street-scape 
out here. personally, i can’t say i like the new modern architecture very much, it’s 
sterile and so arrogantly disconnected with its surroundings sometimes it seems 
like giant alien space ships have landed in the night. but, at the very least, there’s 
some interesting new textures and surfaces to interact with. these are photo-based, 
heavily re-painted stickers, mounted on plastic and glued to the walls of the ugly 
new buildings. i hit the lower east side and east village in manhattan, and bushwick,
dumbo, greenpoint and williamsburg out here in brooklyn.’ - dan witz
