Newest art installation at the Rockefeller Plaza
New Yorkers can join to watch a newest art installation at the Rockefeller Plaza. It is an upright swimming pool that resembles like an ear.
The Public Art Fund and Tishman Speyer commissioned piece serves as a tribute to Van Gogh, the painter who allegedly cut his own ear off.
The duo artists behind of this work are from Berlin Elmgreen & Dragset, were inspired by a California-in-the-’50s aesthetic.
“We like to work in environments where we use a sort of displacement,” said Michael Elmgreen, at the press opening this morning. A swimming pool is certainly not something belonging to Rockefeller Plaza because it’s busy and it has more of an east coast atmosphere.”
The duo is well known for Prada Marfa, the lonely Prada store they designed for a secluded desert town in Texas.
Artist are nterested in the public space, place that art meets people who don’t seek the art experience, so it makes for a more surprising encounter.
The installation will be on view at the Fifth Avenue entrance to the Channel Gardens at Rockefeller Center from April 13th to June 3rd, this is best time of year to bring sething new as specially time for beautiful Art like this.
