Literature vs Traffic: Street Art by Luzinterruptus

Literature won the battle again against New York traffic during the early hours on the 17th February under Brooklyn Bridge in Water St. in the gentrified Dumbo district which was free of cars then.

Luzinterruptus had to  change their original project in which they wanted to set up 2,000 books in a main avenue in Manhattan. But it was not possible as they didn´t find help with the licences and funding. In the end with 800 books and their corresponding lights they achieved a fabulous installation the way they like them to be – self-managed and aided by friends.

“Pole Dancing”@ PS1 New York

The P.S.1 installation competition seems to be an increasingly popular, creative, and fun way for architects / designers to express themselves simply for architecture’s sake – while creating an interesting space to be used, seemingly, as a kind of rallying point for architecture and design related events in NYC. With a new year comes a new installation, adding to a growing list of impressive work by up-and-coming designers.
