My appreciation for abstract art comes more from the littered sidewalks of Brooklyn than the galleries of Manhattan.
Meserole Street 11222
Forget that it’s trash and enjoy the materials, colors and textures the way you’re supposed to in a museum. There’s some awfully cool little compositions of junk that can be extracted from the streets of Greenpoint and beyond.
Hausman Street 11222
Van Brunt Street 11231
Devoe Street 11222
Tony Luib has a one man blog about Greenpoint and beyond at Brooklyn Imbecile.

It is going to be an epic night for the Greenpoint art scene. Over 30 galleries and spaces are opening their doors from 6-9pm to show amazing local artwork. Then at 9pm, we are all meeting up at TBD (224 Franklin St) for a fun after party with food from Yummy Eats and awesome music from DJ Ning Nong and the Brooklyn Soul Club!
