Centre-fuge Public Art Project started as a rotating outdoor gallery at First Street and First Avenue in downtown Manhattan, turning the exterior of a construction trailer into a show place for murals and wheatpastes. The project is dedicated in memory of friend, creator and Lower East Side neighbor, Mike Hamm.
Centre-fuge explores the re-purposing of transitional space in New York City, facilitating public art works with local communities and artists. Centre-fuge's goal is to open eyes and minds around the five boroughs while beautifying and empowering.
Anyone can propose an idea for work on the trailer. Sketches and proposals are submitted via email, to centrefuge@gmail.com, and chosen by a group of stewards of the project.
