Mom & Popism is inspired by a fairly recent book called Storefront: The disappearing face of new york. This exhibition was crated by various contributing artists and it is a take on the mom&pop shops that are slowly disappearing due to the large, ambitious but impoersonal corporations that reign in this harsh economic weather.
Each artist leaves his or her own style in each fabricated storefront, just like these mom&pop shops left their mark on each citizen of new york. It seems like grafitti artists and mom&pop shops hold the same outcome: to connect with the citizens surrounding them, creating a sense of a collective community and a more familial urban landscape.
