“This was the first lamp I purchased for my studio apartment in NYC. I moved to New York in 1969 right out of college and lived in a hotel for women and then shared an apartment until I got my very own in 1971. A year later, I needed to replace the shade. I had the day off from work at Saks 5th Avenue and I was all dressed up to go shopping and have a frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity. On my way home, I had my purse snatched off my arm. I chased the thieves up FDR Drive, never losing hold of my lampshade. An off-duty policeman and I caught them and took them to court. This is the same shade.”

“We bought it at the now-defunct ‘Humble Abode’. We’ve just grow apart.” The replacement will be “a younger, thinner lamp.”

They focus specifically on the installation of lamps at the church on Spring Ave, but each homes in on a particular aspect of the overall effort. One is an interview with artists Sebastian Hungerer and Rainer Kehres. The other focus more on the collection process and the intent of this project.
