He promised to take down the Lincoln Road panels carefully, without sledge hammers. They do not yet have a permit for a new construction fence on Lincoln. When they get it, he'll notify me right away which, if things go right, should give the garden people enough time to retrieve the remaining panels for Maple3.Bob Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734112800580467028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-56299452783732976692013-09-24T20:42:26.692-04:002013-09-24T20:42:26.692-04:00Tim put us in touch with the construction manager ...Tim put us in touch with the construction manager for the site, who has been very helpful (THANK YOU Tim). Many of the panels will probably go to the new community garden on Maple 3. They will not be able to take the panels coming down tomorrow on the Flatbush Ave, side, in part because there wasn't enough lead time to marshall resources and, in part, because those panels are so badly deteriorated (with most of the paint flaked off) that they aren't really savable. I have high hopes for the Lincoln Road panels though, assuming they survive the trip to Maple 3 (the backs of these particle board panels are not in good shape; I think the primer we used in front has helped keep them together).<br /><br />The mural panels have lasted MUCH longer than PLG Arts anticipated when we planned this project. We're grateful to the present owners for their promised help in salvaging what's possible. Fortunately, I have high res images of each panel, in it's original unweathered glory:<br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/25605294@N00/sets/72157622265859141/<br /><br />Also PLG Arts' Fenimore Street Mural, on masonry walls, should last much longer:<br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/25605294@N00/sets/72157626436939146/<br /><br />AND PLG Arts is doing lots more:<br /><br />http://plgarts.org<br /><br />AND<br /><br />https://www.facebook.com/plgarts<br /><br /><br /><br />Bob Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734112800580467028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-55660755485645792422013-09-24T20:41:45.804-04:002013-09-24T20:41:45.804-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bob Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734112800580467028noreply@blogger.com
