The latest installation from Illegal Art happened on a chilly May afternoon in the Lower East Side. A long floral panel fixed against the store window of Kaight boutique. People slowly gathered to share and honor a(or a few) past loves.

“From the days of Junior High where holding hands constituted a romantic affiliation to the complications of adulthood affairs, the ending of a relationship can be both trying and freeing at once. Divorce, separation, one night stands, three months to twenty years. If it ended, whether it was good or bad, it always stays in our head and sometimes, heart.

As an honor to your past, and theirs, write down the name of someone you broke up with or who broke up with you. First name. Last name. Or both. Think of it as the “Wailing Wall of Relationships”. The names of the participants of the collective broken relationships of the neighborhood, the city and world.
