Curatorial note

From the Castor Ave storefront, the red graffiti script New Owner drapes across the halal signage, transforming a retail facade into a durational record of regulatory gaze. Since its acquisition in February 2026, the piece has occupied the window space as a visible annotation of change in the urban commerce spectrum. Commissioned by License & Inspections, the intervention anchors the storefronts of Castor Ave as a durable presence within the neighborhood collection.
