South African artist Faith47 transformed a section of East 2nd Street, near the Bowery yesterday.  It’s the latest project from MaNY and Fourth Arts Block (FAB).  Photographer Tim Schreier stopped by, as Faith47 was working on the mural, titled, “The Weight of Air.”   It’s part of an ongoing series curated by FAB’s Keith Schweitzer focused on creating temporary installations “in atypical locations” throughout the Lower East Side. Meanwhile, street artist Dal, Faith 47’s husband, was working on a project of his own yesterday outside the Rag and Bone store at Bowery and Elizabeth Street.
