Farewell to the barricaded chair of 5th street

Top photo from last month by Steven 

For weeks, an office chair sat unused, surrounded by NYPD barricades on the NE corner of Fifth Street and Second Avenue (outside the still-closed Eros-Kitchen Sink).

The chair, which may or may not have been part of a statement on artistic freedom and its importance in developing vibrant democratic societies (or simply just a chair someone rolled in here as a gag), is no longer here...
However, the chair didn't go too far, becoming part of a pop-up office setup down the block alongside the Rite Aid (thanks to Stacie Joy for the photo!) ...
Sadly, that coworking space (this is how Adam Neumann got started!) has been discarded. No word on the fate of the chair.
