DEE DEE ON DUANE
The street artist Dee Dee strikes again, with an installation on Duane at the corner of Greenwich.
DANCEBODY IS OPEN FOR PRIVATES
Group classes are still not permitted in the city, but Dancebody — along with some other gyms — started hosting private sessions in the studio with their trainers on the 16th.
FEED ME, SEYMOUR!
The Wintergarden is host to an inflatable sort-of-botanic monster, created by the artists Tin&Ed. Tin Nguyen & Edward Cutting are Australian artists and made this using a digital crossbreed of parasitic plants and fungi found in their research. (This includes Cordyceps, a genus of fungi that controls insects’ minds before bursting into sculptural formations from their bodies. Gross.) Up till Halloween.
GRAFFITI AT WASHINGTON MARKET PARK
It is (thankfully) gone now, but staff at Washington Market Park came in last month — on Sept. 9 — to find the message above scrawled on the back wall of the basketball court. They cleaned it off that day, but it wasn’t long before it was followed by more graffiti, including some inside the park. I can’t quite make sense of the message, but I don’t think I really want to know this person’s perspective either.
The basketball court is now being locked earlier than usual by either the park staff or the late-night crews that lock other parks around the city. And I hope BMCC, which has video cameras trained on the court, is able to produce some evidence.
