Broken glass is a hazard of city living. It's everywhere. So when a meeting of architects and urban planners were trying to come up with uses for vacant lots around New York, one of their chief challenges was figuring out what to do with the glass. David Belt and his company Macro-Sea took a comment from an attendee at the meeting, Bethany Edwards, who suggested creating a place where people could go to break glass.
Ready-Made magazine, which cosponsored a contest to find uses for the broken glass, describes the location as "Part game, part art installation, part mobile recycling center, Glassphemy! is a 20-by-30-foot steel structure lined with bulletproof glass." We at GRITtv don't care what they call it, we thought it sounded fun and our own Sam Alcoff and Isabel Braverman took a trip to check it out.
