I noticed many buildings in this area had been stripped of valuable resources such as the copper wires and pipes. Since this building looked abandoned, people were always snooping around looking for things to steal. At the time, I wanted to make a dedication piece to the anarchist group, "Up Against the Wall, Motherfuckers". They had been a big inspiration for me, for such acts as the following: Forcing their way into the pentagon during an anti- war protest. Dumping uncollected refuse (during a NYC garbage strike) from the lower east side into the fountain at Lincoln Center on the opening night of a gala, "Bourgeois Cultural Event". Founder of the Motherfuckers, Dan Georgiakis, declared that "art should be an integral part of life, and not an appendage to wealth." So, I decided to make a piece for the copper thiefs. Sure enough the piece was dismantled and scrapped in no time. This brought me great joy. |
