142 11th Ave, New York City, New York

This is a story of an icon. There are locations in this city with a history and energy so powerful their story can galvanize a community. 142 11th Ave, New York City, New York is the former site of the world's most infamous gay leather bar: The Eagle's Nest. From 1970 through March 5th, 2000 the space held nights of passion, beauty, conflict and controversy. This piece explores the fragility of infamy, the passing of phenomenon and the power that memories can still hold. "142 11th Ave, New York City, New York" is a 12' by 15' installation of 88 pieces of quarter inch glass, wrought iron and an all encompassing sound composition.
