| Close-up: Nicole duFresne Shrine, Lower East Side - Image No. 2 »
It's been over a year since the murder of actress and playwright Nicole duFresne. Her tragic, killing happened in the early morning after-hours of January 27, 20005, in the Lower East Side of New York City. The murder was shocking to us in part because it took place just a few blocks away from the former Global Graphica HQ and in part because the area had become mostly a crime-free neighborhood in recent years, especially as the nabe went through rapid gentrification. In the days and weeks that followed, a shrine marking the location of her senseless death began to appear at the southwest corner of Rivington and Clinton streets. This series of images show the makeshift tribute of flowers, candles, messages, mementos and objects left by her friends, family and residents of the L.E.S. Note the pages from New York Post newspaper that have been posted on the wall at the left of the image -- the pages contain follow-up news articles reporting the police capture of Nicole's murderer. (See the New York Times Article about the murder of Nicole duFresne.)

What is Street Art?
Many people know street art when they see it. But what it is and what it isn't sometimes is unclear and often debatable at best. A definition of street art may be helpful. According to the Wikipedia's entry on the subject as of July 11, 2008, Street Art is defined as follows:
Street art is any art developed in public spaces — that is, "in the streets" — though the term usually refers to art of an illicit nature, as opposed to government sponsored initiatives. The term can include traditional graffiti artwork, stencil graffiti, sticker art, wheatpasting and street poster art, video projection, art intervention, guerrilla art, flash mobbing and street installations. Typically, the term Street Art or the more specific Post-Graffiti is used to distinguish contemporary public-space artwork from territorial graffiti, vandalism, and corporate art.
