The LIC clocktower has been sold by the property owners. It’s a sad day because for around a year the Holocenter has been housed in the first floor and vault basement of the clocktower, and they’ll now have to vacate the premises. Who knows yet what will become of the property.

There’s an event on April 11th to celebrate the Holocenter and the clocktower’s momentary cultural blip. I’ll be screening lots of images LIC’s disappearing possibilities, like the images below. Meanwhile, read my revelation of the number ‘4’ on the clocktower’s face and former public art that’s taken place at the clocktower.

Views like this will become increasingly inaccessible unless you can afford six-figure condos or shell out for a hotel room in the area:

The clocks that drive the clock faces are something amazeballs:
