Underground Gala

I've sometimes daydreamed about "taking over" an abandonned subway station and painting the walls......keep people out with those cone barriers and "keep out" yellow ribbons until opening day. Then, the 1st underground art show, heated only by the elements, in NYC, with viewers commenting and sipping fizzy water as trains intermittently wail.

I don't know if I saw it in a dream or in something I read about or in a movie - the image of people "happening upon" water-proof art hanging in a sewer.....in the part where the sewer opens into a tunnel much taller than a man and the water just trickles around one's feet. Sort of a modern version of cave paintings, in that the art's in an unexpected, hard-to-reach place that seems a bit sinister.
