Downtown Art & Skate Happenings LES/Chinatown

They say that summer is the “quiet season” for galleries…

Some pictures taken from 5BORO from Go Skateboarding Day last week…

They opened the skate park down the block just for a preview on Go Skateboarding Day:

NY Skateboarding Video of Steve Rodriguez talking about the new park:

GoPro commercial, Ryan Sheckler rolls by the gallery at 2:10 and then does a “sweet jump” down the block:

Some kids did some “art” down the block and Alexander Richter caught some of the “performance art” on film…

A great Jesse Edwards oil painting from Portrait of a Generation show at The Hole gallery.

This guy is big in Japan…

The skate park was close right after Go Skateboarding Day but this didn’t stop the kids from clipping the fence and skating it Saturday morning!  I was proud to see some Old New York tactics were still around.  It wasn’t long before the NYPD came to kick everyone out though.

Boo… (fixed)
