I left knowing I had just watched a performance of one of the few saints this generation has produced. On the other hand, as the new owners of the Chelsea have taken the lobby I used to show visitors (who soaked it up in awe) and turned it into a doctor's waiting office design-wise...Patti has done the right thing. As if that should surprise anyone. She bailed.

But they must be dedicated and persistent , there is NO half way! The tenants have got to get the media and city officials on this and be in there face 24/7 ! Unfortunately we live in a country / city that does NOT respect and covet their artists ... Almost every other civilized country does! They provided housing & support for them . Not to say that we should completely financially support them ...but the least the city/ state could do is preserve and protect such a great iconic part of NYC & artists history & heritage. Unfortunately Bloombergs admin. is only interested in preserving the rights of developers & tourists ! Look at the Highline ... Perfect example ... A park for the rich & tourists . Void of any real artistic expression. All I can say is the Chelseatenants MUST get out there RIGHT NOW !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-14404843322655816872012-01-12T11:07:22.292-05:002012-01-12T11:07:22.292-05:00in other comment...

Ain't nothing is sacred no more. "What does it mean?". Don't know either. I'm sure Patti Smith's intentions are noble, albeit ill-contrived.esquared™https://www.blogger.com/profile/03535683572170541615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-52864134775516367822012-01-12T10:09:18.735-05:002012-01-12T10:09:18.735-05:00I sent the post last night about the concert. I wa...I sent the post last night about the concert. I want say after reading ur new article today.... Look , I have a lot of info on the situation. And all I want to say is ..the tenants Must fight this with lawyers and protest. And the truth of the matter is that Chetrit (and others involved) will not stop until all tenants r out ! Period! Everyone can discuss Patti Smiths motive etc. but it really doesn't matter ... It's really just a distraction ...as u can see all the press is talking about is her performance ... Not the evictions,asbestos, violations, harassment etc. bottom line is the change is here and now! No going back . As much as Ms. smith would like peace & harmony ...it's just not the reality of the real estate business ..and that is what the Hotel Chelsea is to the owners , a piece of property that MUST generate the highest cash return for them & their bank!

I'm not really sure what to think about the scope of this. Neither am I privy to the dialogue held by Mrs. Smith, the architects and the owners of the Chelsea. I'm pretty sure that there was no dialogue before this point with the tenants of the Hotel, who have been afflicted with the Chetrit Group's heavy-handed money-grab techniques. It just seems that Smith has one eye fixed on the clouds while one foot is about to step off a cliff.<br /><br />I'm also getting the impression from her wording, perhaps misplaced, that she is much more concerned with the Hotel proper in itself and not the artists in residence there. Perhaps future bulletins will clarify this to not be the case? I'm not holding out much hope of that, though.Space Popenoreply@blogger.com
