| | New York City had hit bottom in the 1970s, and by 1980 parts of the city, like the Lower East Side, had become frightening tableaus of abandoned buildings and rubble-strewn lots, while many street corners bustled with milling crowds of the drug trade. As bad as things were at that time, however, the Lower East Side remained a vibrant and colorful place full of expressions of hope and the visible seeds of rejuvenation. We called the exhibition of our project "Gargoyles and Cherubs," from the carvings seen on many of the late 19th Century tenements. These devils and angels seemed to represent the twin nature of the place. | |
