Meanwhile, over in the Metro section, we get the kit article on street art<\/a>. The Times<\/i> works their senstive liberal cred by finding a girl, in a field more male-dominated than late night talk show hosting, to blather about her ‘work.’ The slide show is better than what you get for the downtown gardens, but should you sit though it, and have some time in the afternoon, try to catch the (closing today) Andrea Fraser show at American Fine Arts (530 West 22nd) — and yes, go see the porn<\/a> across the street — as an interesting antidote.
