Remembering 5Pointz: A Five-Story Building That Told Plenty More<\/a><\/h1>\n

by Bruce Wallace

The walls of 5Pointz were once covered in graffiti. Artists worldwide came to New York to paint the warehouse surface. (Bruce Wallace for NPR)<\/p>\n

This week, New York City lost a cultural landmark. The site known as 5Pointz was a graffiti museum, of sorts \u2014 the walls of a 200,000-square-foot warehouse complex covered with ever-evolving spray-painted art. It spread across a block in Long Island City right across the water from Manhattan in the borough of Queens.<\/p>\n

But it was all gone Tuesday. The owner of the building started painting over the art in preparation for demolition. The city had approved construction of two residential towers, despite efforts to designate the complex a culturally-significant structure. Overnight and into the morning, workers covered the art with white paint.<\/p>\n

A Wall With No Ego<\/strong><\/p>\n

Millions of people used to get their first glimpse of 5Pointz from the 7 subway line. When the line emerges in Queens after tunneling under the East River, rows of bright, angular tags would come into view. The walls of the five-story building showcased enormous paintings: a turbaned head wrapped in sky-colored cloth, an orange tiger and, near that, an even-larger-than-real-life portrait of rapper Biggie Smalls.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey call us vandals and hoodlums and whatever you may want to call it,\u201d says 5Pointz artist Jonathan Cohen. \u201cI think it\u2019s quite the opposite.\u201d Cohen started painting here in the early 1990s, and he has been a de facto curator of the art on the buildings since 2002. He thinks it\u2019s the whitewashers who are the vandals.<\/p>\n

He remembers the origins of the wall: \u201cI said, \u2018\u2026 Let me start this place up, let me have a wall where no ego is involved, and artists could come paint. Favoritism doesn\u2019t really float. If you do a good job and your piece comes out amazing, it could last longer. If you don\u2019t, then it goes.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Painters came from around the city, and around the world, to contribute. James Cochran was one of them. He\u2019s a New Zealander living in London. A friend introduced him to Cohen a few years ago, and Cohen invited him to work on a wall at 5Pointz. Cochran painted a portrait of a man in a hoodie. It was aerosol pointalism \u2014 meticulously composed of hundreds of different-colored spray dots.<\/p>\n

Cochran remembers what attracted him to the space: \u201cIt\u2019s just this amazing feeling, because of the sounds and the sites \u2014 those screeching trains going overhead \u2014 that kind of confirms everything that we\u2019ve learned as outsiders about the hip-hop history of New York City \u2014 starting from that whole subway culture. The remnants and history is still alive, you can still feel it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Corinne Mitchell, a Londoner studying in Manhattan, visited the wall before it was covered over. \u201cI like the technique of it,\u201d she says. \u201cI like how the paint seems to be dripping and you can see the drip marks. It looks like it\u2019s been done very delicately but with a messy feel as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

And just around the corner, Ali Moussaddykine, who\u2019s from Morocco and in town for an internship, contemplated a 20-foot-tall photorealistic painting of a hand with its index finger pointing toward the sky: \u201cYou can stare and think about a lot of things, about yourself, about the city, about people who made this. It means a lot of things,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

What Comes Next<\/strong><\/p>\n

The building\u2019s owner says that covering the art quickly with white paint was a way of saving the artists the emotional distress of seeing their work torn down slowly over the next few months. He says it\u2019s like a band-aid \u2014 rip it right off.<\/p>\n

The building\u2019s owner has said he\u2019ll offer wall space for graffiti artists at the new buildings. At the moment, the 5Pointz crew doesn\u2019t seem that interested in taking him up on the offer.<\/p>\n

James Rocco has worked at 5Pointz a lot over the years. Standing under the subway tracks looking at the whitewashed walls, he says the lost art is really only part of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe walls tell only a small portion of the story about what\u2019s going on here,\u201d he says. \u201cThis is a community \u2014 I\u2019ve met people here that are going to be lifelong friends of mine. I\u2019ve met people from all over the world that I\u2019m friends with now. We\u2019re going to continue and keep in touch and work together. We just have to figure out where.\u201d<\/p>\n
