D’Oh! ‘Vandals’ Make Art Again

By No Comments thumbnail-915

 

 

The state has apparently removed part of this fantastical piece of work in Dumbo by design company Exhibitology.  They write:

The De-Fence Project was erected to coincide with BKLYN designs, a showcase for young Brooklyn-based designers. Due to time constraints, Exhibitology was not able to secure permission in time to for the May 7th install and thus The State’s position is that anything that they can’t control is not allowed. Regional director of New York State Parks, Rachel Gordon has officially deemed the installation “vandalism” and has threatened to pursue the matter further stating that if the installation is not removed by Exhibitology Inc. promptly, and the sidewalk bridge returned to its original bleak condition, they will destroy it.

Vandalism is generally defined as deliberative destruction or damage to property.  It doesn’t seem like that happened here.
