9/8

12 hours later, the building has shifted to the left an additional 3 feet, but the show must go on and this doesn't stop the deitch opening (though one of his galleries is next door to the falling building and has been evacuated since this morning)

a little surreal, the trendy soho opening against the backdrop of impending disaster.

at this moment, 10 huge truckloads of sand are being dumped into the "construction site" to the left of the building in an attempt to shore up the foundation. the activity of the back hoe is causing our building (one section of which has been evacuated) to tremble and shake, it's a bit unnerving.
