40-Year-Old David Wojnarowicz Mural Resurfaces, Only to Be Hidden Again The stewards of the artist’s legacy hope that a work miraculously discovered in Louisville, Kentucky, now covered up by the building’s developer, can see the light of day once more.

When architect Moseley Putney took down a wall in a mixed-use development in Louisville, he revealed a 1985 David Wojnarowicz mural. “I popped a hole in the drywall and ripped enough out that I could put a flashlight on it. And there it was,” Putney said. “It was like looking into a freakin’ tomb.”

11 more NYC libraries will soon open on Sundays A $2 million City Council deal will expand seven-day service to more than 30 branches citywide.

Eleven more libraries will reopen on Sundays, thanks to the leadership of the City Council. They never should've been closed in the first place.

As Mayor, I'll end this absurd budget dance that keeps our beloved libraries in limbo year after year.

"Americans don't care too much for beauty
They'll shit in a river, dump battery acid in a stream
They'll watch dead rats wash up on the beach
Complain if they can't swim"
