BEST ILLEGAL PUBLIC ARTWORK: Williamsburg Prayer Wheel
The fact that FAILE’s prayer wheel disappeared from its location on North 6th Street in Williamsburg within a week of being bolted to the sidewalk by members of the artists collective somehow gives their project even more cred. Last we checked, the sculpture’s second iteration on Bedford Avenue was doing a little better (it got tagged, but then cleaned, sort of), and given the general socio-economic zeitgeist, maybe more public praying wheels are in order.
