Good news<\/a>: part of the border wall between the U.S. and Mexico has been torn down! Bad news: it was the part of the wall that was made of cheese. Also, it was an art installation, and the people who destroyed it were from the construction company building the real <\/em>border wall. So, in true 2020 fashion, this was more bad news than good. Sorry, everyone. <\/p>\n

The late cheese wall was built by Cosimo Cavallaro, an Italian-Canadian artist noted for sculptures made from perishable materials\u2014like ham on a bed<\/a><\/span>, a giant anatomically correct chocolate Jesus<\/a><\/span>, and multiple<\/a><\/span> cheese<\/a><\/span>–centric<\/a><\/span> works\u2014meant to highlight what he calls \u201cthe absurdity of effort, waste and decay.\u201d In March of 2019 he began work on a sculptural installation called Cheese Wall on a tract of private property he had leased in San Diego County. Using blocks of expired Cotija cheese, Cavallaro planned to build a wall that stretched 1,000 feet along the U.S.\/Mexico border. Seventy feet of the wall was built before it was destroyed by construction company SLSCO Ltd., which had been hired by the government to fortify the current non-dairy border wall. Now, Bloomberg Law<\/em><\/a><\/span> reports that Cavallero is suing the construction company, filing a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California that states he was wrongfully \u201cdeprived of the opportunity to communicate his artistic message through the Cheese Wall\u2014a message he has spent years contemplating\u2014and to see the Cheese Wall, at its full length, stand in contrast to the border wall.\u201d<\/p>\n
