titel: 5 Pointz Aerosol Art Center — Institute of Higher Burnin'

adresse: Jackson Ave / Crane St / Davis St (Subways: E, V subways to 23 St/Ely Ave., 7 to 45 Rd/Court House Sq, G to Court House Sq), Queens, NY, USA

+: Just blocks from P.S. 1 was 5 Pointz, the Institute of Higher Burnin'. Not a museum or gallery, 5 Pointz was a living collage of graffiti art covering a converted warehouse full of artist studios. The art of famous and novice graffiti artists covered the building's facade, all done with the encouragement of the building's owner. It was a well-known sight from the elevated 7 subway, which ran behind 5 Pointz.

5 Pointz was demolished in 2014.
