Tapestry Harlem
TAPIZ | New York, NY 2010
No Longer Empty is an innovative project involving a group of artists and curators who are interested in exploring a new paradigm of making and presenting art. The joint venture team of Jonathan Rose Companies and Lettire Construction Corporation developed Tapestry, a 12-story gateway residential building located in Harlem at the foot of the RFK Bridge in Manhattan. This project is sponsored by No Longer Empty and El Museo Del Barrio.

Tapestries are hanging, multicolored, woven histories. In Tapiz, I am weaving the faces of 125th street together to represent a merging of past, present, and future. People from diverse backgrounds are converging in Harlem, which will generate a new cultural and economic renaissance.
