KEEP ROMANCE ALIVE - This project was inspired by a man who was wearing a skirt and walking on 5th Avenue at lunchtime. He was screaming “KEEP ROMANCE ALIVE! KEEP ROMANCE ALIVE!” Now I ask people “What is your ROMANCE?”
I saw a woman whose name was EL Grace, playing the flute at 18th Street and 6 Avenue on June 14, 2010. I walked after her while she was playing the flute to 14th Street and 5 Avenue. Then, I asked her what kind of instrument that was. She said, “a native American gypsy flute.” I asked her why she was playing the flute on the street. She said, “to calm the people.” I thought she answered my question, so I didn’t ask her what her romance was.
