Google comes to photograph the Pep Boys project: 20150613-_IGP4107 And gets photographed in turn: 20150613-_IGP4092 Alas, it'll take 6 months to a year to get the data processed and up on the web. But it does seem this is the first time they've done this kind of thing, photograph a building full of graffiti. Jersey City, Number 1!

It just gets better and better. 20150605-_IGP3963 Forest City and G&S Investors (the developers of Metro Plaza) have partnered with Green Villain on putting graffiti inside the old Pesp Boys building before it gets demolished. Pep Boys worked with us on the exterior. 70 artists, 30,000 sq ft of walls (inside and outside), and a century's worth of expertise. 20150605-_IGP3924 Here's a press release on the project (PDF). Google's using their Trekker technology (developed for Street View) to photograph in interior and exterior. All that a more will be online in the near future and Green Villian's exhibition in Google's online Cultural Institute. We're be having an open house on Saturday, June 27, starting at 12 noon: DJ's, food, and wall-to-wall art. 20150610-_IGP4044 20150605-_IGP3917

From Sunday's Jersey Journal:
Quote:
The Pep Boys store that was tagged closed last week and is set to be demolished next week, said Greg Edgell, who worked with the company's district manager to get the go-ahead to tag the the outside of the shop.

"Without getting too philosophical, it's kind of the epitome of graffiti in of itself because graffiti is temporary," said Edgell, founder of an art production company called Green Villain in Jersey City that began around 2008. "It could be five seconds that something's up or it could be five years. So this is kind of just the truest form of that."

The former store is part of a massive redevelopment plan that includes a 35-story tower.

Edgell, 27, first got permission to tag only the back of the building that faces the Hudson-Bergen light rail tracks after pitching the idea to the store's manager in 2014 when the store was still in business. When the shop closed, he was able to get the green light to tag the rest of the walls, Edgell explained.

Google Cultural Institute gives users worldwide views of Jersey City street art

Some of the best new murals in Jersey City's street art boom are joining the ranks of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Palace of Versailles in a Google initiative providing digital access to the world's cultural treasures.

Green Villain, one of JC's street art powerhouses, has been hosting entertainment events in the Greenville neighborhood and beyond since 2009, when they were based in an old Clorox Bleach factory. More recently, GV head Greg Edgell has been focusing on helping turn Chilltown into an outdoor gallery.

Last year, Green Villain commissioned works by artists like Enoe, Kem5, Jerkface, SP One, Rime, Post and Mes. Most of the murals can be found in Bergen-Lafayette, and often feature an evolved graffiti style that both adds vibrancy to local neighborhoods while paying tribute to JC's urban roots.

People around the world will now be able to see Jersey City's unique streets through the Google Cultural Institute, which provides first-person walking views (think Street View on Google Maps) of museums and cultural institutions.

I believe there was an AIDS crew in Chicago back in the 1980s. for them, one of the meanings of "AIDS" was "artists inventing def styles." I have no idea whether there's any link between the AIDS writers around JC and those Chicago writers.

20141009-IMGP1337 "Ghetto" on the left' "art" on the right. If you look closely you'll see that one of the writers on the left is Then One, who recently curated a project at Aqueduct: http://www.thenoneart.com/?projects=aqueduct-murals sea kaws That's from the top of the building that's going to become Mana's urban arts museum. The roller on the right is by Kaws, who is from JC. He's now making a handsome living with his craft, w/ some of his pieces selling for 6 figures: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KAWS_%28artist%29

As with most things in life, packaging counts for a lot.

If the mural looks interesting or thought-provoking and is properly "framed" by a suitably-selected structure or hand-drawn paint lines, it is perceived to be closer to art. Generally speaking, an older structure always pairs better.

If the mural looks like one giant signature, i.e. an ego tag, then it is often perceived as merit-free and thus closer to vandalism.

When potential residents look to move into a neighborhood, I know the one thing they always tell realtors is that they are looking for a neighborhood with a lot of graffiti, oops, I meant murals and street "art".

Just to confirm that I wasn't being a cranky old geezer, I checked with my 27-year-old daughter (who has a Ph.D in art history, so she know her art, yo). While she appreciated the work, she thought it a bit ghetto. Is that what we're going for here?


I agree, this makes downtown look ghetto. It works sometimes on old buildings but it cheapens new buildings.

like most art, I like some better than others. one of the key benefits is that when a mural goes up, much of the tagging stops. tagging = vandalism...shitty graffiti is what I cannot stand.
