Over the past few month...Hi East Village friends. <br /><br />Over the past few months there have been several posts regarding the mural outside our GelARTo store. Sadly, two events have damaged the mural further; 1. it has once again been vandalised and 2. The building landlord bolted the trash cans to the wall which blocks a third of any mural and the artist we had asked to 'renew' the painting was unable to incorporate in his picture. We know how important the original was to many East Village residents and are keen to preserve something before the vandals inevitably finish it off. Our suggestion is to make a more permanent wall fixing about 4' x 2' incorporating photos with a description and quotes from those who were there when it was painted. We would then attach it to the wall for passers by to read.<br /><br />We would then open up the wall to local and internationally renowned artists who could paint a new mural and incorporate the trashcans every three months or so, which would surely be great for the village moving forwards?<br /><br />I am keen not to upset anyone over what is not only an important reminder of the terrible events of 9/11, but also a reminder of how EV residents came together at that time to grieve. Your opinions would be gratefully received?<br /><br />Thanks, Nigel, GelARTo.Nigelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15073554300122773691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-56516252586566309772016-09-13T11:29:10.576-04:002016-09-13T11:29:10.576-04:00Don't forget the Big Bird 9/11 mural on Suffol...Don't forget the Big Bird 9/11 mural on Suffolk (I think?) just below Houston: http://www.jchymangallery.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/chico-big-bird-mural-corrected-website-72.jpgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-16285478497094280222016-09-11T18:31:50.648-04:002016-09-11T18:31:50.648-04:00It's on an Icon building.
