Public Art – Wall Street Protest
As we were leaving the 9/11 memorial we walked toward the train and I saw what looked like some sort of flea market type of thing. There were many people gathered in one area in a very unorganized way. Then I noticed signs and mattresses everywhere and realized this was actually the Wall Street protest. So I took a couple of pictures as we continued walking and here they are:
To me a protest is art in away. It is self expression of a group or person. These people are expressing there ideals and what they want to be done. Besides for the actual protest being art, these posters are clearly art and are kinda unique to New York.
P.S. I saw a poster that said “Too Legit To Quit.” If anybody gets the reference, comment.

Please, Hammer, Don’t Hurt ‘Em. (that’s the reference that resonates for me, anyway!)
We Americans, Republicans, Democrats and supporters of the ‘occupy movement’ seem to be thirsty while standing in the midst of a mountain spring. We are tired of the corporations and journalist in name only describing water and how to obtain it. Republicans can put us down for our clothes tossing other insults as well while the journalist who are too lazy being a celebrity to go down there say there is no message. There is a message go get it. It will only escalate in all aspects.
