A few nights ago, someone did a somewhat half-assed job of buffing out the storefront at 57 Great Jones St. between the Bowery and Lafayette.
While there, Wilson and Erin Ko added a tribute to Sinéad O'Connor after news of the singer-songwriter's death earlier in the day at age 56.
The wall now includes a quote from a 2014 interview with O'Connor: "If you live with the devil, you find out there’s a God."
As previously reported, Angelina Jolie is creating a collaborative space this fall for designers and artisans in the space here called Atelier Jolie.
So last evening, artist Adrian Wilson (under his @planndalism account) stopped by to fix the crown that he added earlier this month to the former home-studio of Jean-Michel Basquiat (thanks to EVG reader Uli for the photo below)...
Thanks to Adrian for sharing the photos!
She was a great musician and artist who unfortunately had a tragic life. I enjoyed her music, and she will be missed. RIP Sinead.
ReplyDeleteRIP.
ReplyDeleteNot a fan of this specific quote. There's much more to appreciate about her than her religion.
ReplyDeleteSinead O’Connor was a wonderful human being and all of her records are fabulous. Saw her at Jones Beach about 30 years ago. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteAmazing artist whose short life appeared to have gone sideways into that place no one really wants to go.
ReplyDeleteShe was a very talented artist who sadly dealt with a lot of issues, some of which were self inflicted and some I believe were caused by mental illness. I truly hope she has found the peace that eluded her in life.
