I wonder whether michelangelo or Leonardo passed the state licensing exam.

The Times article on the J. Crew thing said they didn't pay much… and I bet he didn't get to keep the clothes either. Artists, generally, tend not to be great business people.

Maybe all that money from J. Crew has helped out.

At least he is back to his trade mark black trousers.

I agree 100%

He is one of the most famous long time residents of Dumbo. He should have a big presence somewhere.

It is kind of amazing, considering the kind of crap developers will spend money on, that no one has hired him. I mean a major Acconci piece would get international press.

Acconci studio could do some incredibly visionary projects for the neighborhood if a gifted developed would hire them to do so. Ask them, for example, to do something with the empty space under the Manhattan bridge and Plymouth Street. Or, to design a park in the empty lot at John and Pearl Streets. We'd all benefit.

Perhaps it's a quibble, but an “architect” or “landscape architect” is someone who has passed the respective state licensing exam. Acconci has done many interesting projects over the years *hey! put that back in your pants* but I do not believe he is either an architect or landscape architect.
