Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Street Art

Hello to Haringay community members.... I hope everyone had a good week?

I am looking to interact with some comrades of the community in the hope of embarking on a social project, which will bring more fantastic work to the area. I have lived in Turnpike Lane for four years and after what was a short burst of pieces by the station but it would be great to expand this. I have for the past few years been interacting with artists helping to organise wall space in East London, while I worked for an art gallery. I would love to try and organise some spaces here in Haringay and feel this would be a good start in reaching out to the community.

I have watched street art spread from East London and find large new areas in places like Penge, Camden and Dulwich. In these projects the communities have been heavily involved with helping to supply wall spaces or by supplying unwanted house paint. If anyone knows of any walls that are in need of some TLC or if anyone would like to help out then please let me know. I regularly am asked by great artists for spaces and it would be great if I could organise some paintings in the area I live.

Thanks,

Ryan

Absolutely not. This is just scribble not a political war. And I have other plans for those windows. The best display space in N15.

I doubt that Veolia did the masking in Green Lanes.

I assume Ryan the artists give you some sort of compensation for finding space for them ... ? Just curious!

Hey Matt, I do not receive any payment for organising walls on the street and see it more of a service of cleaning up tagged walls and providing new colour to dull grey spaces. It is unfortunate but a lot of the artists do not get paid for painting on the street but it is a great way for them to showcase skills and this can lead to commissions for bars/clubs/pubs/people etc.

Thanks for the reply Ryan. So kinda like a very public CV :) Do you know of the artist below? Think he may have done something similar to the art below at The Finsbury Tavern ...

How about here. The council are planning on the new cycle lane there and some nicer lighting under the bridge so perhaps some art work could be part of that project.
