Katrina Exhibit Opens Near World Trade Center Site

An art exhibit about one disaster has opened at the scene of another.

"Floodwall" is artist Jana Napoli's response to Hurricane Katrina, which she lived through in New Orleans.

It consists of hundreds of empty drawers, salvaged from trash heaps in flooded neighbourhoods. Napoli says she had to empty the drawers of ruined, wet clothes before she collected them.

The exhibit is now on display at the Liberty Street Bridge, a pedestrian bridge that connected the World Trade Center to the World Financial Center across the West Side Highway.

Via: Nothing to do with Arbroath.

Now isn't that a wonderful thing to do? While everybody else was involved in trying to rescue and bring aid to the victims this woman was looting their personal possessions - dumping their clothes so that she could steal their furniture and then claim it is ART! Art my ass - this woman should be locked up - she's nothing but a common looter, making money out of other people's misery and misfortune.
