I came across this building in Williamsburg Brooklyn last week when I did a walk with Street Art Walk. David, from Street Art Walk, knows everything about all the street art you can find in Williamsburg and he walked with us for more than two hours to show us around. I had such a great time! Later this week I went back there because there were some things I wanted to see again and get a better photo of. Like this building here. All abandoned, but once the home to all kinds of people who were very creative and the Secret Robot Project (art gallery & performance space). Last year their landlord made them leave, because he/she had sold the building. As a big thank you to the landlord they 'paint dumped' the building. I had no idea that excisted, but as you can see above they threw some paint down from the roof. I believe the building will be demolished some day. |

Awesome photo. Whether intentional or not, the paint-dumping seems to have turned the building into a work of art!
