... a ceremony that included various dancing sirens and pirates...
... the group headed over to 100 Avenue A between East Sixth Street and East Seventh Street for the official unveiling...

Earlier on Saturday, co-creators Nicolina and Pérola Bonfanti passed along word that someone removed/stole Portal No. 5 that they unveiled the previous week along 100 Avenue A ... (Every Saturday this summer, the pair will unveil a new portal. Participants have an opportunity to find one of 64 keys that gives them access to a final event on Oct. 5 that will reveal what the whole puzzle means.)
However, later that afternoon, Nicolina and company replaced Portal No. 5... (Boxcutter Design on Avenue C is helping out by printing replacements.)

Now, as of yesterday, both Portals are missing from Avenue A ... the latest theft/removal of a portal...

GammaBlog has more photos and video from Saturday evening.

A siren with glasses? I'm not sure that works for me.
And now this painting will surely get stolen. Anyone gonna LEARN FROM THIS?
This is what happened to Keith Haring's stuff back in the 1980s when he was still drawing down in the subway and on street posters. People ripped them off and then after he died they started selling their stolen art that had been intended for the public at auction houses for big bucks.
WHERE were the mimes and jugglers, dammit???
