The Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS) will present “Shadows: Wall Disease” by Ryan Legassicke Saturday and Sunday at La Plaza Cultural Community Garden on the southwest corner of Avenue C and East Ninth Street. A public opening reception will be held in the garden tomorrow from 4-7 p.m.
After this weekend, the installation will move a block away to MoRUS at 155 Avenue C and will be available for public viewing from Oct. 16-26. A second reception will be held in the museum on Thursday from 6-10 p.m. Both MoRUS and La Plaza were abandoned spaces later reclaimed by the community.
The exhibit consists of five sculptures — life-sized embodiments of sections of walls used to block public access in public spaces. The walls, from different places and times, come together to embody the idea of how barriers can be used in public space to restrict access and movement.
