In 2006 Aaron Krach's "Shorter Periods of Happiness" project brought flowers to the drab ad-filled walls around town, and now his "Longer Periods of Happiness" project is doing the same, but this time around with support from the Manhattan Community Arts Fund. The artist and the MCAF have brightened up the winter by plastering the flowers over all parts of Lower Manhattan through February 6th.
"No words appear on his poster, not the project’s title or artist’s name. The image is a pure shot of joy—of lemon yellow, dusty pink, and vegetable green—inserted into the city’s forest of signs." Amongst other downtown blocks, you can find them on Bleecker and 6th Avenue, West Houston and Varick, and Minetta Lane and MacDougal.

Is anyone as excited about Madea Goes to Jail as I am?!!
Can't wait!
The "shot of pure joy" is somewhat deflated by the shots of pure crap next to it.
Always wondered: Do the people who slap wheatpasted posters up on construction sheds have to get the permission of the people who "own" the shed? Do the owners get paid? Or is the whole thing "technically" illegal, like jaywalking?
go back to connecticut.
it's mafia and good ol' jersey boys who take care of those.
none of your business.
More class and Beauty (Madea) and less Tacky Crap (Flowers) please.
past the blooms
in NYC
bright yellow daffodils
interspersed by
eccentric dandelions
overcome
planned formality of slender gray dogwoods
thinness and colours of trees
like au courant sense of fashion
carefully arranged
on posh Madison Avenue
reminding city dwellers
that they
too
must surrender
to better nature
