New art book - Museum of Street Art: East Village, by museumofstreetart on Dec 17, 2018 5:04:26 GMT 1, Hi there. I published Museum of Street Art: East Village this past October and have made it available online at mo-sa.org. The photos were shot in black and white and the book showcases over 160 artists. Below you'll find an excerpt explaining the thesis of the book. Happy to answer questions and if you want to see more photos from the book you can follow me on Instagram. Thanks.

"The Museum of Street Art (MoSA) is a concept illustrated through the street art of the East Village. The neighborhood was systematically photographed in its entirety in 14 straight hours in order to capture a snapshot of the โexhibitโ.
A Museum of Street Art is a phenomenon that occurs when there is a high concentration of art and local stakeholder support in a particular outdoor area. This combination creates living, breathing outdoor museums in our cities. Entry is free and daily exhibits are managed by the residents, landlords, local government, visitors, and mother nature. These stakeholders alter the exhibition every day with their competing opinions and priorities, which in turn creates one of the most dynamic and meritocratic museums in the world. MoSA explores this concept by photographing these museums in their entirety on one particular day, as a record and snapshot in time."

New art book - Museum of Street Art: East Village, by beicoblack on Dec 17, 2018 9:04:21 GMT 1, Not to take anything away from your book. I'm pretty sure you've put tons of work in it
& looks not bad, but one of the things I adore the most about art in the streets are the colors.
Honest question: why in black & white only?

New art book - Museum of Street Art: East Village, by museumofstreetart on Dec 17, 2018 20:10:51 GMT 1, There are a few reasons. For one I like it and it gives the book an archival look, which is one point of the main points of the book. These photos are a record and snapshot in time where much of this art will disappear. Second, shooting in B&W was more of a practical matter. A good portion of these photos were shot at night and NYC has lots of street lamps the emit orange/yellow light. Shooting color would require tons of post-production which requires time and skill that I didn't have. Only 2 photos were retouched and the rest were shot from the hip with no editing. Shooting B&W allowed me to produce the fastest, highest quality work while producing/completing the work in a timely fashion. Just finishing and getting it out there was really important to me.
