Gallery to the Cleveland Museum of Art, utilized wide yellow industrial tapes. The last tie I visited the John Carroll gallery bits of the tapes were still in sight, reminders of the past and the footsteps that had worn away most of it.

When asked what happens to the works after the exhibitions are over he replied, "After the work is experienced it loses its importance." So although the works could be more or less permanent they are destroyed for practical reasons. The photographs and sketches remain as a record. Often a collage of the work is applied to an actual photograph of the area. And these, which can be hung on the collector's wall fall back into the tradition of painting because of that fact.

The site of the proposed Bridge Project, the 300-foot Pennsylvania Railroad Bridge across Euclid Avenue at East 55 Street. An outgrowth of the "City Canvases" program, the Project would consist of 58 panels made of plywood, laminated to a steel core and bolted to the bridge, as indicated here. The panels would be painted in varying shades of blue to act as "a seam which will link the two efferent presences of the limited surface of the environment with the unlimited space of the sky."
