Visual Art Re: Re: “Georgetown Artists” Angry with SBC?
posted by July 21 at 16:31 PM
onThis morning, an artist and Georgetown resident named Ronald Aeberhard claimed to represent 15 to 20 artists and local residents in protesting what he said was an art project by a Seattle trio, SuttonBeresCuller, who plan to tear down a “folk art” rock wall.
In response to my post interviewing Aeberhard—I haven’t heard yet from SBC—the Georgetown Community Council Chair helpfully chimed in with this on the comments thread:
For all, A few facts to set straight on the project.1) The entire building was slated to be torn down and the property was going to be sold to a developer for condos.
2) For zoning and code purposes, the rock wall must be removed so that the columns of the awning can be retro-fitted and brought up to code. Rock wall simply cannot stay.
3) The artists have spoken with several members of the neighborhood, including the owners of Louie’s former home on Flora. The artists have promised to re-use the rock wall in their project. While it will not be reconstructed as it is now, the wall’s use will honor Louie.
4) The Georgetown Community Council did not vote to tear the wall down.
5) This is a really amazing opportunity for the property to be re-purposed not only as green space but also a gathering space for the community.
Sincerely,
Holly Krejci
Georgetown Community Council - Chair

So according to Krejci, the rock wall will not be destroyed, but rather reused in this new project.
Krejci mitigated her own comment a little with this later post:
Re: #16 I’d like to make corrections on #1 and #5. Neither are fact.#1 - The land is zoned for condos. But, I do not have confirmation from the property owner as to the fate of the land/building. I was speculating.
#5 is clearly a statement of personal opinion.
I apologize if I have mislead anyone.
Meanwhile, Slog commenters are more or less united: “SBC, tear down that wall!” They are also united in their hatred for this.
Comments
I hope that no one minds that I am quoting my comment to a previous post on this topic:
"The definition of art is not one that can be resolved here, but a large segment of this community treasures the work in this area that gives it character and many feel that this is one of those works. The folks who have lived here for a long time are particularly sad and see it as another change to the face of Georgetown.
The owner of the heating oil company that was there, Mr. Perovich, used it for offices and storage and asked Louie to make this work for his building. He really felt that he was getting a work of art. More than 50 years later it is still there.
We love the idea of this project and look forward to the final result, but this wall should be respected and incorporated into the project. There is no need to tear down this small landmark"
I would add that in an informal survey of the residents surrounding this site that everyone was sad to see it torn down and had not heard that it was going to be.
