my ship has come in

this pic was taken in the 40's in nyc. This boat lays in the Hudson, just a few blocks from what is today Pastis in the meatpacking district. you can see the elevated highway that was the torn down in the 70's, and replaced by the West Side Highway. (the elevated roadway was torn down because part of it collapsed in 70's, and it was deemed unsafe.) the High Line elevated park is just out of site, and would be about an 3/4" north of where the pic ends.

Parthenon of Books

In December 1983 the Argentine Conceptual artist Marta Minujin and a group of helpers spent 17 days building a full-scale model of the Parthenon in a public park in Buenos Aires, Roberta Smith writes. Except for a metal scaffolding, it was made almost entirely of books wrapped in plastic. All the books had been banned by one of the most oppressive juntas in the country’s history, which was just being dismantled after Argentina’s first democratic election in a decade. “The Parthenon of Books/Homage to Democracy,” as Ms. Minujin’s work was titled, stood for about three weeks. Then the public was allowed to disassemble the piece and keep the books.
