Public art is back! After a stellar first season detailing the stories and personalities behind eight pieces in Battery Park City’s permanent collection, Public Art on Video: Season 2 presents a new look at the following works (click titles to view):
– Justice Reflected, by James Yaya Hough
– Teardrop Park, by Ann Hamilton and Michael Mercil
– Sunrise, Sunset (Revolution), by Autumn Ewalt and Dharmesh Patel
BPCA manages a world-renowned 20th and 21st century collection of large-scale sculptures and environmental installations integrated with its 92-acre, residential lower Manhattan neighborhood’s parks and plazas. With curatorial and maintenance responsibilities for both permanent and temporary art installations, artists have been commissioned since the 1980’s through competitive selection processes and with advisement from curators and art experts of diverse backgrounds and specializations.
Inspired by informal conversations with the artists, and by the visitors who regularly engage with this world-famous art in our parks, the “Public Art on Video” series explores public art in Battery Park City’s urban landscape and the impact of experiencing art without walls.
