David Wolkoff is on his way to razing 5Pointz to build two residential towers, and while the graffiti mecca will be no more, Wolkoff plans to invite street artists back to curate the 2,280-square-foot art space in his new development. "It's not going to end, it's just transitioning," he said. However, 5Pointz reps are skeptical about whether the same artists will want to participate. "The integrity of the street art community and the graffiti community is such that no one will want to come back. Already the artists are fleeing." [DNAinfo; previously]
