i have a little bit of a dilemma with architectural preservation. one one hand you like great buildings preserved and on the other hand if an owner wants to make changes to their own property...
In the case of 2cc, the building was vilified from the start. i do like it though despite the obvious. i was in a group show there once. the tenth anniversary show for abc no rio. I put in a pretty bad piece. i think a find from the blanket salesmen on astor place. it was a budweiser bar light. two pheasants m&f under an oval plexiglass dome. I pulled off the logos and filled the back lit bow tie shaped void with red cellophane. i genericized it. it was durring my genericized sign phase.
