Free the Cube!

We've fielded some queries about the Cube — aka Alamo — on Astor Place ... mainly: Why is it surrounded by barricades?

We reached out to some Astor Place folks to see what might be happening here. To be continued (maybe!).

The barricade forming a hexagram, can't be good. Merry Christmas ya'll!

Remember the Alamo?

In this case, the last local man standing will d
stand here against the gentrifiers.

The barricades prevent the Cube from escaping. They are very effective.

Anyone find anything about this? They continue there and not great experience when supposed to be interactive public art.

If you look at the base you can see people tried to rock it back and forth and ruined the bit that balance the rotation in the base so it's partially leaning on the fences. It needs to be repaired!
