Ned was Gordon�s assistant when Gordon was doing his first cuttings in abandoned buildings in the South Bronx. A couple decades before, [these buildings] were touted as new housing developments that were going to bring up the area. But the project was a complete failure. So Gordon and Ned went [to the Bronx] and did these cuttings. Ned was really worried that junkies or other people in the neighborhood were going to stick them up. Once they have all the equipment on, it was really loud so they didn't notice anyone coming in. They looked up and they were surrounded by police. Ned was freaking out, thinking, �We don't have a permit. We�re not supposed to be here cutting up buildings.� And Gordon just said, �Oh. We're supposed to be here. It's demolition.� He just said it with such authority and � because it was such a weird thing to come across �the police just said, �Well, OK.�

Gordon managed to do that a few times in his career. There was a warrant put out for his arrest when he cut up a public pier in 1975�But then the city went bankrupt and they had to drop all standing warrants�There were so many bigger fish to fry in terms of the general problems the city was having. Artists could get away with a lot more. With Gordon and Jeffrey Lew as well�what's a nice way to put it? They weren't intimidated by following rules of law per se. It was a bit of a free- for-all. You have to remember the political circumstances of the time. The Vietnam War was going on. The men of that generation were being sent to die in Vietnam. There was a mandatory draft so they were all eligible for that. That was something hanging over their heads.
