    An art installation with mirrored tunnels connecting three derelict industrial buildings as transitory laboratory space for art experimentation.

    A permit to contain, wrap, and occupy three toxic and derelict industrial buildings in Brooklyn, New York, was denied by Mayor Bloomberg of the City of New York in early 2012. Subsequently, a collaborative group of artists were arrested for illegal entry and were served papers to appear at the criminal court in Lower Manhattan. The lawyers for the five artists argued the first amendment issue. The artists were released, but were charged with endangerment, criminal trespassing, and misdemeanor. Penalties can range from $2,000 in monetary fine or six months in jail, or both.
