There Goes the Neighborhood is the title of an mobile installation that went up in flames early this morning where it was parked in what functions as the sculpture court behind Lawrimore Project, scorching the gallery’s back wall and breaking out windows.
Created by SuttonBeresCuller, There Goes the Neighborhood was destroyed, but the gallery lost nothing else, said Scott Lawrimore, who got a call from the fire department at 6 a.m.
“They were amazing,” said Lawrimore about the fire department. “They broke into the gallery and physically removed the art that was threatened in storage.”
There Goes The Neighborhood is insured, he said. He speculated that someone climbed the fence and used the artwork as shelter while smoking.
A group show, Spite House, will open as planned tomorrow night at 6.
