"On the copyright page of 'We Own the Night: The Art of the Underbelly Project', curators Workhorse and PAC include on their thank you list 'all the people who know how to keep a secret and keep their mouths shut!' I’m one of these people, having been shown an early proposal for the book version of this extraordinary undertaking. An agent clued me in; a few days later I was at photographer Martha Cooper’s apartment and asked if she’d caught wind of 'Underbelly.' She’d heard all about it and was hoping to receive an invitation to the underground gallery. It was summer 2010 and the project was wrapping up. In late October of the same year, the secret was out when the New York Times ran a feature about an art installation that very few people would ever see."
