What inspires you to be an activist?
Can you give an example of a work of art that changed the way you viewed the world?
Nice…
‘Red, Yellow and Blue,’ a work by artist Orly Genger, is installed in Madison Square Park on Tuesday. The work features 1.4 million feet of repurposed nautical rope collected from the Eastern seaboard, covered in paint and weighing over 100,000 pounds. (Andrew Hinderaker for The Wall Street Journal)
Really wish I could be in NYC this week for several reasons, one of which is the opening of Orly Genger’s new installation in Madison Square Park. Rendering shown above, but I’m sure there will be fantastic IRL pics shortly.
Always nice to see Paul McCarthy spreading his subversive joy around the world. Would love to see this or Jeremy Deller’s Stonehenge Sacrilege in 100 Acres. Eh?
The Graphite digital catalogue is out! Still in disbelief that I could include the full Richard Serra film Hand Catching Lead as a figure reference in my essay. I love paper books, but paper books can’t do that. Available for iPads for the insanely low price of $4.99 in the iTunes Store.
Many thanks to TOKY and the multi-talented team at the Indianapolis Museum of Art (past and present) who made this happen, especially Rachel Craft, Amanda York, Emily Zoss, Anne Young, Julie Long, Tascha Horowitz, Daniel Beyer, Tad Fruits, Eric Lubrick, Emily Lytle-Painter, and Kyle Jaebker.
