Bushwick is the area for Street Art/Graf.

Bushwick Collective is the best known spot

and eat here when you are there, fairly nearby

I think the only Banksy left is the one near Zabars(79th and Broadway)...as Pipes already posted, The show at Taglialatella would be the next best spot to see a bunch of stuff. Shep Fairey show at Pace/Jacob Lewis is def worth a trip.

Shaka at Gallery nine5 --> Sept.19-Oct.25

Allouche Pop Up--> Temporary Showroom: 25 West 26Th Street

Jose Parla is at Bryce Wolkowitz/Mary Boone

Dede Bandaid Halloween pop up at 2 Rivington Street(Fri-Sunday)

I would def check out the Whitney Museum as well -- whitney.org
MOMA is always very solid too -- www.moma.org

As for the street stuff, Pipes was correct: Bushwick Collective is def the best spot to see all the street stuff,
St.Nicholas/Troutman is the home base and you can walk all around from there. Here is a list of some of the newer stuff:
Fanakapan -- 'Bushwick' Knickerbocker/Johnson
Shark Toof -- Troutman/St.Nich
Lady Aiko -- Johnson/Gardner
Belin -- 4 Berry (Berry Park) girl face(Williamsburg)
David Walker -- 349 Troutman
Ron English - 3 Monkees 819 Broadway

The Lower East Side has lots of stuff too but spread all around. Here is some spots for you too:
OsG/JR - 201 Chrystie St
2ndAve F stop at Houston
JR - 100 Franklin(Church)
Lafayette between Prince and Spring
76 Thompson
Ludo 4th Street and Ave.B
Buff Monster/Faith47 - Broome and Chrystie
Jerface - 195 Ave C(12th Street)

Last but not least is Welling Court in Queens(30th Ave/Welling Court) - similar to Bushwick Collective but not quite as large

Forgot Miró at Aquavella
Rumney-Guggenheim just opened in Williamsburg too: 834 Driggs Avenue(bunch of good stuff) and its right near the best Steak House in US - Peter Lugers

FFS - now I'm REALLY jealous

Is there stuff along the high line too - aside from the Kobra? Haven't been there for a while.

Unfortunately, it looks like none of the institutions that have Keith Haring's works in their permanent collections, like MoMA, have them on display at the moment but there are currently works in the 'If You Leave Me Can I Come Too?' exhibition at Hunter East Harlem Gallery and the 'How Posters Work' exhibition at Cooper Hewitt.

You can find the location of Haring's pieces all round the world via search function on the KH Foundation website.  There are publicly accessible pieces at the New York Historical Society at 170 Central Park West, Woodhull Medical Center at 760 Broadway, Cathedral of Saint John at 1047 Amsterdam Ave, Carmine Street Pool at 1 Clarkson Street, The Centre at 208 West 13 Street, outside both 51 Astor Place and 17 State Street and of course the iconic 'Crack is Wack' mural on the handball court at East 128th Street; to whet your appetite, there's a great article about that wall here.

Thanks for the Woodhull tip Feral Things! Never knew they had one. Must check out.

12 Questions: DEBT Interview – “I Paint to Destroy”
By leisamp - Wednesday, February 3rd, 2016

12oz is about to introduce you to one of the New York City’s toughest bombers. DEBT YKK is undeniably New York. He comes from the city where it ain’t about the piecing, but about getting up. DEBT puts in work throughout the 5 boroughs leaving his shot up D where ever he goes, and never being afraid to execute. It’s that mentality that sets him apart, and why we featured him in the newest volume of Counting Sheep . DEBT is also part of the legendary YouKantKompete (YKK) crew which includes members such as Skuf and Kez5. These guys have been holding down New York Streets, exuding the type of graffiti we really fuck with, keeping it real to the city that started it all. So what makes this bomber tick? Check out this interview to find out.

1. How did you get into graff?

A family friend who wrote ACT 2 from the South Bronx got me into it. Also, just looking at the streets, walls, etc. and wondering how the fuck they did that.

2. How would you describe your style and mentality when it comes to painting?

My mentality when I paint is just to destroy. Make my point. Attack mode. Without getting caught lacking.

3. What does it mean to be a native New York writer, how is what cats do in NY different from the rest of the country?

I travelled here and there but I was born and raised in New York. The scene in NY is a lot different compared to other states because NY is the mecca of graff. The buff here isn’t as strong as in other states. A lot of creativity and style comes from NY. A lot of people dream of getting up here.

4. In Counting Sheep Volume 2, you put in some work in the Lower East Side. That area has changed a lot in the last decade, How has that affected the graffiti landscape there?

The LES has changed a lot over the past few years with all the new buildings they are making. Not as many spots as we used to have but it ain’t really change anything. Graffiti is still popping up.

5. In your new video for 12oz you hit the Chinatown rooftops. For the people outside of NYC, can you explain the significance of Chinatown in New York’s Graffiti scene?

Chinatown is dope. Got a lot of graff that runs. A lot of rooftops you can see from the Manhattan Bridge. I like to place my joints where you gonna see them. But, Chinatown definitely goes to SEV TDT though.

6. Who are your favorite cats in the game right now?

A couple of my favorite writers don’t even write anymore. There are a lot of toys out now, so no one really. But there’s still a few cats holding it down for the culture. Shout out to yah.

7. What is the state of New York City’s Graffiti game?

The state of graff in 2016 is corny. A lot of jocks thinking that just cause they follow you on Instagram that they think you their day one. A lot of biting going on, crew hopping, just a bunch of sucka shit now. And these niggas, that since they cool with someone putting in work, think that they don’t got to put that work in. They shine off the next man’s shine. I keep my circle as small as possible. Most cats you meet don’t got the same ambition. They either jocks or distractions, word up.

“My mentality when I paint is just to destroy.”
8. How do you feel about Street Artists like the ones you call out in the video? Is it cool as long as they don’t go over you?

I respect art in general. If you a good artist, I respect it. Street art isn’t my thing. I like to bomb, I like the rush, I like getting over. Don’t be putting your wheatpaste over my shit.

9. Being such a heavy hitter, have you run into any serious legal troubles throughout your career? If you have, what keeps you going?

There is always the good and the bad in any situation. A couple beefs, a lot of haters, but that comes when you popping. I’ve been locked up, couple scuffles, but that’s bound to happen when you really in these streets.

10. Who were your biggest influences when you were coming up and today?

ACT 2, like I said, if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be writing. Also my homie SIEK FLY ID, he put me on to a lot while I was coming up. My nigga KEZ 5 YKK and everyone who supported me is what keeps me going, keeps me alive.

11. What is your plan for 2016 and beyond, what’s the next move for DEBT?

My plans for 2016 is to take over the world, stay relevant, keep dropping shit, leave my mark and tackle all my goals.

12. What do you want to tell to all the young kids out there that want to step up to the plate?

Basically to keep grinding. Practice makes perfect. Stay true to yourself and anything is possible.
