[Paul Chan] staged a version of [Waiting For Godot] for outdoor New Orleans. After a while the signs came to feel like a shared secret, or some bounteous but anonymous civic gift, the way [Keith Haring]'s SubWay paintings felt in New York in the early 1980s. They added up to a visual network, art as a connective tissue for a torn-apart town... He contacted Creative Time, a nonprofit organization supporting public art (it presented "[Towers Of Light]" at ground zero (World Trade Center)) and proposed a New Orleans "Godot" project, for which he would serve as a nebulously defined artistic director.
