The Displacements Quotes

“Here in the US we used to go on about our "First World problems." Nobody's pretending folks wouldn't be worse off if a storm like Luna had made landfall in Dhaka or Lagos. But the point is, it hit here, twice in ten days. And when the choice is between nothing and something, most folks will settle for a tent and three squares any day. Situation like that, your so-called First World gets real small, real fast.”
― Bruce Holsinger, The Displacements

“You think of the great pieces of public art, the works that have transformed how we think about space, landscape, the environment. Like The Gates in Central Park. Or Tyree Guyton’s Heidelberg Project in Detroit, where entire city blocks are transformed into new ways of visualizing siding and junk, trees and shrubs. I love the things Krajcberg did in Brazil. The guy spends fifty years living in caves, trees, deploying his art against environmental destruction.”
