Astor Place Cube and LED Throwies


Astor Place Cube

Astor Place Cube and LED ThrowiesAn East Village institution since it was placed in Astor Place in 1968, this rotating sculpture (’The Alamo’ by Bernard Rosenthal) has proved a magnet to skaters, punks and goths.

In 2003, pranksters turned it into a Rubik’s cube while students made their own cube after the original was sent off for repair in March 2005.

After they wrote a message of solidarity with Borf, we let loose with a few hundred of the little gizmos. A crowd gathered and was really into it. A group of 7-or-8 year old kids started picking the throwies off the cube and throwing them back again. At one point a belligerent touristy guy demanded to know what the point of this spectacle was and his wife yelled, “Oh Harold! Shut up and throw the thing already!”
