As we continue talking about urban art, we continue to support art in other forms: fine art, performance art, as well as the art of fashion. In these discussions, New York City continually comes to the fore. It is not an overstatement to say New York is the center of the arts in the United States.

Our City Dreams is a documentary (came out last year) about five women artists inspired by New York City. Swoon is one of the women in the film and an urban artist we’ve featured in Fabwick. (She recently showed at Urban Art Info in Berlin). One of the media she works in is wheat-paste plasterings of realistic images of street-people. She plasters these images all over New York. She has at once been called a street artist and a very influential “inside” artist. We’d love for everyone to see this film in order to visit the inside world of women in the arts and experience their struggles and triumphs.

This image taken by one of our contributing fashion editors, Preston Wood. We think this is by Swoon – we don’t know for sure – what do you think?
