Armory Arts Week - Sculpture in Times Square |
| culture.wnyc.org By Marlon Bishop This week, fine art meets flash as five sculptures by high-profile artists land in Times Square, a public art exhibition connected to the arts trade show Armory Arts Week. On Tuesday morning after the unveiling, tourists and native New Yorkers alike wandered among the statues, ranging from a voluptuous ten-foot ceramic woman from the late sculptor Niki de Saint Phalle to the 24 sheep made of paper by Brooklyn artist Kyu Seok Oh. "I'm always supportive of public art sculptures, there needs to be more of them," says Arash Mokhtar, an actor who was checking out the sculptures after an audition. "I'm glad they're actually in Times Square and not far off in some art world refuge." The sculptures were chosen, alongside artistic considerations, to withstand the wear and tear of a week in Times Square, where, according to curator Glen Weiss, people tend to be pretty "hands-on" with the art. All five works will be on display until next Tuesday. |
 Times Square will be exrtra cool for the next week - sculpture to see, touch and experience - it's all good! |
