Sat 1/18 @ 11AM
Shortly before 11am Saturday morning, the clusters of people huddled around the triangle of land at the corner of E. 156th and Waterloo began to tote the pieces of wood lying on the ground to a space near the triangle’s infamous metal tower. Soon a large cube took shape.
Once it did, 33 artists and some of their friends began to carry painted and decorated wooden slabs and affix them to the cube. By noon, they’d created an outdoor art display that will remain to greet visitors to the Waterloo arts strip.
Hot dogs and coffee were served to participants and onlookers outside the gallery. Kelvin Cadiz opened his Callaloo Café on the corner of E. 156th and Waterloo for those who needed to warm up — and even had two kinds of free soup on hand, one of them vegetarian.
The project, called Moon 3 (Cubed), was conceived and directed by artist/gallerist Loren Naji who will open his Satellite Gallery on E. 156th just off Waterloo in the spring, an annex to his West 25th Street gallery. The Waterloo Gallery will be devoted to installation, performance, and mixed media art.
