Landmark at Socrates Sculpture Park

20:00

<p>Marking Socrates Sculpture Park&rsquo;s 30th anniversary this year, the institution presents <em>Landmark</em>, a series of artist commissions and projects that transforms the land both physically and symbolically. Once an industrial landfill and illegal dumping ground, Socrates has transformed itself into New York City&rsquo;s preeminent sculpture park and social space for public art, community engagement and urban discovery. <em>Landmark</em> directly addresses the idea of place as intimately tied to social and ecological structures, to maintenance and stewardship, and to evolution over time.</p><p><em>Landmark</em> features eight different artist projects including a newly commissioned major earthwork by Meg Webster. Additional artists in the exhibition include Abigail DeVille, Brendan Fernandes, Cary Leibowitz, Jessica Segall, Casey Tang, the curatorial collective ARTPORT_making waves, and a&nbsp;Broadway Billboard&nbsp;by Hank Willis Thomas. Since its inception in 1986, Socrates and the surrounding area of Queens, New York has rapidly changed. Whether by engaging directly with the land or commenting on the neighborhood&rsquo;s cultural and economic shifts, each artwork in <em>Landmark&nbsp;</em>reflects historic transformations in the making.</p>

Exhibit: Oh Sit! 14 Sculptors Consider the Chair

2015-09-10T00:00:00.000

Enter through 172nd St and Amsterdam Ave entrance

<p>Located along the esplanade leading up to the recently opened High Bridge,&nbsp;<em>Oh Sit! 14 Sculptors Consider the Chair</em>&nbsp;is a group exhibition of nine artists&rsquo; public artworks. In a frantic world, finding a chair can be almost impossible and settling comfortably into one can be an enormous satisfaction. Sitting in the wrong seat can cause anxiety and an even pain. Exhibiting artists Dan Bergman, Allan Cyprys, Robert Dell, Gregoire Ferland, Esther Grillo, Christina Jorge, Siena Gillann Porta, Herb Rosenberg and Chuck von Schmidt respond imaginatively to the notion of sitting or using a chair.&nbsp;<em>Oh Sit!</em>&nbsp;is framed as an imperative, a command&mdash;a way of asking the viewer to look and really consider the concept &ldquo;chair&rdquo; both objectively and subjectively.</p><p>For more information visit <a href="http://www.nyc.gov/parks/art">www.nyc.gov/parks/art</a>.</p>

NYC Parks is pleased to host Oh Sit! 14 Sculptors Consider the Chair will be on view through November 8, 2015 in Highbridge Park located in northern Manhattan.
