Standing on Rivington Street, holding Pucci house collage.
Sty Town, Bye Town, affordable housing an oxymoron,
Village, East and West, The Bowery, Lower East Side -- we asked for
preservation and protection but an economic tsunami wave of over the top development came thru, supersized, mega retail, mega dormed us to death.
Our historic neighborhood looks like a bad, bad xerox of midtown,
mirrored buildings reflect a history that is no longer there and a community no
longer welcomed! If you love the East Village, Bowery and the Lower East Side call 311, tell the Mayor or you will have to visit a recreation in a museum of Las Vegas...

Supersize Love Passion & Peace, not our historic neighborhoods!
"Dream/Goal: City wide-wise unite our collective outrage...
"Stop the over the top development -- displacement protest!"
Date: The date is being pushed back
to be a part of the protest email sodync@yahoo.com
Where: City Hall
(right now this is a dream I hope we can make a reality!)
Letter in The New York Sun Nov. 24
"City Set To Present Plan for Lower East Side'
Renaissance? I thought I was living in the East Village, not a bad Xerox of midtown [New York, "City Set To Present Plan for Lower East Side," November 1, 2006]. We have been mega dormed to death mostly by New York University but also by New York Law School, The New School for Social Research, and Cooper Union. Yet another NYU mega dorm and the tallest building ever in the East Village will be built and Saint Ann's Church from 1847 fell to NYU's greed and need to build yet another NYU mega dorm. Amanda Burden supports this dorm being the tallest building yet in the East Village. So far Amanda Burden has ignored our community pleas for zoning protection.
City Planning's incentives to developers in the name of affordable housing is a Trojan horse for developers to further supersize our historic area. The mayor and City Planning seem to care only for housing for NYU students and developers with luxury condos and mirrored hotels that reflect a history that is being destroyed. A community is no longer welcome. We have asked for preservation and protection of our long term community members, and if more isn't done to protect us you will have to visit a re-creation of the East Village, Bowery, and Lower East Side in Las Vegas or in a museum.

*Streck is very smart. He did put some words in my mouth which upset me. I thought his piece was an "off the wall" snapshot in a landscape of intense shock and grief but I was greatly impressed with his understanding of intensity, passion and the "art brain".

The New York Post Nov 22, 2003 The FDNY suffered its largest
loss in history. The fact that these firemen and NYPD, PAPD,
EMS - and all first-responders - died on 9/11 making the
ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty cannot be made invisible
on the memorial. |

"...The terrorists'
objectives were mass murder and destruction, including the
destruction of our
economy, but shutting down firehouses
and threatening layoffs is tantamount to saying we can't
afford to fly the troops back from Iraq...." |

****letter, Feb. 4, 2004 The New York Daily News
The death of the crew of the Columbia marks another tragedy of undefinable loss. Also, there is a sadness because Col. Ilan Ramon, a son of an Auschwitz survivor, carried an art work, "Moon Landscape" drawn by a boy named Peter Ginz. Peter's imagination took to the moon, although he would never journey out of adolescence, but to a horrific death in the Holocaust. |

Knowledge is Power
Suebe1art@aol.com
I have a large body of
diverse artwork that is timely,
passionate, deeply psychological...
art with
heart. Art making is a ritualistic and cathartic experience for me.
All my
art is my skin and a part of my soul. I never felt like I had skin.
I want
to touch your soul; make you think and feel.
I make my art provocative
with
"spiritual vitamins".
The present political scandals, MTV, and global
techno-consumption
of the "media fastfood"
makes being a provocateur more
challenging than modern art history itself.

To the far right is "Adam
Techno-Head." He warns us not to lose our head to technology and never forget
our connection with nature and our souls. He has text on his body discussing
the global marketplace, technological superhighways, satellites, etc. "I
am not a techno-luddite."
The black mannequin
"Communicating on a cellular level" (middle) has 2 cellular phones and talks
about a deep desire to connect on a cellular level; then asks "With Whom?" The
text talks about avoiding sexual pyrrhic victories, how some words defy the
prefix "techno," like God, love, honor, respect.
The golden
man is "I am Listening." He is covered with walkman
and tape all over his body.
Even the poorest people in our country can wear a piece of technology to
comfort or isolate themselves. Women complain-men do not listen.

"I'm Married to My Technology, " mannequin
with 2 left hands, bicycle, floppy disks, computer tape, recycled walkman
turned into a techno-chastity belt to protect her from making unwise sexual
choices and people with unloving agendas, Two wedding
bands made out of CPU
parts and a telephone line symbolizing the information highways that connect
us, cellular phone, beeper, telephone wire, 3-D glasses, acrylic.
She
is covered in text concerning sexual politics, this century's history marked by
techno-destruction and a wish we become technologically responsible in the 21st
Century--not only with regard to each other but to nature and the
universe.

re: obsession. Obsession is a mutilation of the psyche. It is like biting your
mind instead of your nails... this painting states that there is a simple and
unrevolutionary way to make a better world by being a better
person. |
