Is Culture Gone at Ground Zero?
By ROBIN POGREBIN
It's not easy to pinpoint the day culture died at ground zero.
Since four cultural organizations were selected for the site a year ago, the notion of giving the arts an integral role has been gradually - and more lately precipitously - slipping away.
Daniel Libeskind's master plan for the former World Trade Center site called for life-affirming, forward-looking cultural activities that would coexist with a memorial's somber acknowledgment of lives lost. Culture was supposed to make the site a hub of round-the-clock activity for tourists and to provide a vibrant gathering place for people who live downtown.
Juan Cole and Markos Moulitsas Discuss the Middle East.
