The sculpture was in midtown manhattan at the lever building for awhile maybe six years ago I passed by it semi regularly on the way to workIt sure is something

yeah, thought so.
I also remember that Hirst installation in the lobby of lever from maybe back then or longer ago. It was the first time I had ever actually even noticed the lever building, so it was pretty shocking to walk by and see all these splayed open sheep carcasses in glass tanks or whatever the hell it was in the all-glass lobby of a midtown building, even though I recognized pretty quickly what it was. This other lady who was peering in at the same time goes "Oooh, I know what's going on in there -- animal testing!"

I like that the village mayor is trying to foist Damien Hirst sculptures off on unsuspecting OB/GYN wards. I keep wanting to get down to Old Westbury though - the SUNY campus is a Brutalist "let's do a hill town, but with concrete" piece by John Johansen, right up my alley.

When Tierney Cooke arrived in New York City in 2010, she faced a daunting choice: pay rent or pay off her student debt. She had taken out loans to put herself through four years at the University of Washington in Seattle, and her first job as a nanny barely paid the bills.Ms. Cooke, 26, a California native, eventually landed a job in digital advertising, but still couldn’t find the money to pay the rent and the debt collectors at the same time.Several missed payments dashed her credit score and that of her father, since he had co-signed the loans. Ms. Cooke stifled her dream of living alone.“I take my responsibility for my part and not being on top of it,” Ms. Cooke said, but added that she signed on the dotted line as a clueless teenager. “At 18 or 19, agreeing to take on thousands and thousands of dollars of debt, I had no idea what it meant.”Eventually, Ms. Cooke moved into a two-bedroom in Manhattan that housed four women, one boyfriend and two dogs, including Ms. Cooke’s cockapoo, Oliver.She moved out, and for two months, slept on friends’ couches and air mattresses in divided bedrooms and spare nooks. Oliver, the dog, was not always welcome where Ms. Cooke was, so he had his own itinerary of abrupt relocations. She shed any remnants of an REM cycle at her sixth pit stop. “I was basically sharing a living room with a guy who snored and talked in his sleep,” she said.

“It feels like October all over again,” said Tierney Cooke, a 22-year-old transplant from the Bay Area, who met her boyfriend, Dylan Houle, also from the East Bay, at the same bar while watching the Giants. “If they didn’t bring it down here, it would have been a disservice to all these loyal fans.”

fucking seriously. also how many times has the nytimes run this story? young college grad can't afford an his/her own apartment in manhattan, oh no! wait wait wait does she find a life of her own in ................ brooklyn?

i kinda feel like just let the nytimes be the nytimes but on the other hand i am fascinated and surprised by the existence of young people who still feel like they need to live in manahattan, brooklyn has been media phenomenon for what 15 years, grandparents in kansas know that its good to live in brookyn idgi

You occasionally run into young people in my "field" who talk about Brooklyn like it's an exotic locale. Even that's becoming uncommon though. Usually either 30-somethings who got entrenched in Manhattan before Brooklyn became acceptable, or 20-somethings who just moved to the city and are from conservative families.

FWIW I think working as a nanny and being unable to make student loan payments isn't quite quid ag territory, even if she has unrealistic expectations.
― Hier Komme Die Warum Jetzt (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 11 June 2014 14:21 (nine years ago) link
You should totally be able to work as a nanny, make student loan payments, and generally be free of excessive want and fear. It may not involve a one-bedroom apartment, and at this point, to find that a shocking wake-up call when you finish school is a BIT quid/ag. But yeah it probably should be filed under a slightly different category.
