MoMA Party Wall
You’re looking at pictures of Caroline O’Donnell’s installation Party Wall, in the courtyard of MoMA PS1. It’s made with the leftover materials from skateboard blanks, after the shapes have been cut out. Rumor has it that she had to arm wrestle assorted jewelry makers and the Guild of Recycled Skateboard Material Crafters for access to the raw materials. Too bad it’s only a temporary installation, it looks like something I’d like to have in my town. I believe this is the first time we’ve seen the form factor of leftover skateboard materials used recognizable in the finished piece.

Yes! I guessed Comet Skateboards from looking at the shapes, before I read the article.
Being NYC, I would worry about unintended consequences like rat nest infestations.
