There comes a point after every option is exhausted to throw in the towel and accept your fate. For 120 art students at Cooper Union, that means moving their studios from the East Village to Long Island City. As Cooper Union prepares to demolish its Hewitt Building on Third Ave. and construct a green building of undulating metal screens in its place, The Villager reported students are suffering some serious angst. Fortunately for their own sanity, it seems they are past the stage of mourning and on to the more enjoyable stages of celebration, decoration, and straight up demolition. While some create homages to the doomed building and others recreate Rock and Roll High School, everyone kicks a hole in the wall because it’s just so damn fun.

A David Choe style whale.

Though demolition is scheduled for mid November, it’s safe to say one diehard will barricade their studio door and halt work until the beginning of Cooper’s winter break. Take that President Buzzkill! Guns N Roses!
