“Danish artist group Superflex unveiled their latest intervention, part of Creative Time’s Living as Form exhibition. In the Olympic Restaurant on Delancey and Essex, the group created a near-exact replica of J.P. Morgan Chase’s executive washroom. This greek diner has been a cornerstone of the Lower East Side for over thirty-five years, and, by the looks of it, the new bathroom is the first major addition in that time. The Olympic Restaurant did not pay a dime for the bathroom – it is free and open to the public, not just customers. Most importantly, it is a permanent installation that we hope will stay in the neighborhood for another thirty-five years.”
