Room for art?


Accident Realm, by Lishan Chang

Inside the storefront on 161st Street. Lishan Chang, an environmental artist, 
aid the storefront was perfect for his current project.

Landlords seeking artist to fill unrented store fronts?  Am I dreaming? NYT reports.

"As the recession drags on and storefronts across New York remain empty, commercial landlords are turning to an unlikely new class of tenants: artists, who in flusher times tend to get pushed out rather than lured in. And the price of entry is not deep pockets, but vivid imaginations and splashy exhibits — anything to lend their darkened buildings a sense of life."

refreshing!
