TIMES SQUARE — "Extra, Extra, read all about it!"

A Brooklyn-based, Swiss artist is bringing an old-school newsstand back to the Crossroads of the World in a wonky installation to be unveiled on Friday.

The stand will feature the art magazine Juxtapoz and Brooklyn-based Victory Journal as well as limited edition art publications. Artists will be posted near the stand peddling their work. 

"T.SQ Newsstand" is a collaboration with the artist Kimou “Grotesk” Meyer, who designed the stand complete with faux, wooden pigeons and packets of cigarettes.

The stand will be unveiled in Broadway plaza between 44th and 45th Streets on Friday at 11 a.m. and will be displayed until Oct. 18.
