Time for some more crazy public art! This time around "British artist Richard Woods' wall and door and roof whimsically transforms various structural elements at City Hall. Cladding the property's two security booths with a printed facade of cartoon-like red bricks." In a press release from the Public Art Fund, Mayor Bloomberg is quoted as saying the project is “cute" and "part of what makes our cultural scene so vibrant. What better canvas for Richard Woods' 'wall and door and roof' than City Hall itself." But one officer told CityRoom, “It makes us look more visible. Like that’s what I want — more visibility.” Others thought it looked like Ronald McDonald, Candy Land and the North Pole. Like it or not, it's there through September!

it's a brick... house
I heard people bitching about this on the radio. What a bunch of grouchies.
It looks like a cardboard structure you can buy at KMart or WalMart, or a makeshift North Pole station for Santa at the mall.
And I love public art!
It looks like one of those huts in Super Mario Bros.

how does the cop feel being in there?
I bet this was one of Bloomberg's toyboy's artwork.
so . . . should we take this to mean that you're a homophobe?

I'm surprised His Majesty Mayor for Life Bloomberg doesn't have "Changing the Guards" ceremonies outside City Hall.
