9/11 AND "INAPPROPRIATE ART"

"George Negroponte once met an ironworker who had helped dismantle the last remnants of the Twin Towers after the terrorist attack of September 11th, an experience that changed the man’s life in two main ways -– he suffered a disability, and he enrolled in art school. “He is now working full-time as an artist,” Negroponte said. “I’ve heard so many stories about so many people finding the need to have an artistic response.”

Não, não se trata de uma aproximação ao mundo da arte, mas sim da censura aplicada ao mundo da arte, no projecto de reconstrução das Torres Gémeas.
