Sean Cummings and artist Skylar Fein discuss a legal graffiti wall erected on the edge of the Rice Mill Lofts in the Bywater. When Cummings began renovating the old building on the New Orleans riverfront near the corner of Montegut and Chartres Streets, he chose to preserve much of the graffiti that marked the walls, allowing the tagging to become part of the apartment’s character. Continuing the street art motif, Cummings created a wall of steel shipping containers at the edge of the property that he envisioned as a legal graffiti haven.
“Its interesting to see a developer in cahoots with the graffiti crowd”
Argh. This depresses me.
