<p class="tddefined"><strong>New York Magazine Article – November
18, 1983</strong><br>
The East Village is a hot neighborhood, true, but one still doesn’t
expect to see lines forming around a local church at 11 0’clock
on a weekend morning. Yet there they were on a recent Saturday,
lines stretching from St. Nicholas’s Orthodox church on 10th
Street at Avenue A, across 10th Street to the north corner, and
a few doors west. Not lines of people, but lines being painted by
people gathered by Marjorie Kouns, whose métier is outlining
shadows cast by buildings.<br>
Capturing the shadows cast by St. Nicholas--a project Kouns calls
“Tri-Cross Timeline” after the three crosses atop the
Romanesque building--was the 28-year-old artist’s sixth such
project in Manhattan. And judging by the number of passersby who
painted the Pepto-Bismol-pink lines, it was her most successful.<br>
“The point is, the shadows move, and I’m freezing the
moment,” says Kouns, who makes her living staging art ‘events.’
“A time-lapse camera takes pictures as the shadow shifts.
My approach is similar to Christo’s, I guess: What I do isn’t
really a tangible art form, but the documentation is.”<br>
Friends were rolling paint over chalk lines Kouns had prepared earlier
in the week. Two little black kids on skateboards joined the line-painters,
as did an old woman who wore a babushka, an older man with a full
beard and a ponytail, and a Puerto Rican man who painted while holding
a bottle of Bud. Those who did not join in included several irate
people attending a christening at the church and a couple of policemen
who had to be mollified by Kouns’ well-documented (church,
community board, 9th Precinct, Department of Transportation, Department
of Sanitation) authorization.<br>
At 12:05pm, the painting was finished, and the crew signed their
names along the Tri-Cross Timeline.<br>
“The heavily traveled part [in the street] will last about
a month,” Kouns said, “and the rest could last six months,
depending on the political situation,” referring to a red-faced
churchman. “I mean, how can anyone get upset over a few pretty
pink lines?” </p>
