Posted as received.
Art Party in DUMBO for "the Strategic Placement of Stone" January 12th
In the spirit of building a contemporary context for stone that can be seen
as a marriage between Constantine Brancusi's modernist aphorism "I give you
pure joy." and Anish Kapoor's post-modernist dictum "In the Beginning was
the Void."
I am hosting a party in a warehouse space, generously donated by David
Walentas of Two Trees Management, featuring Solid with Breaking, a new 5-ton
granite sculpture, and a video, Triads, Cycles and Opposites, a description
with six haikus, three actions and interludes.
PARTY: please RSVP

in DUMBO, Brooklyn across the street from Jacques Torres, 66 Water Street.

With this event, I am looking to raise funds and awareness for my New York
Foundation for the Arts sponsored project, The Strategic Placement of Stone
- a public art piece, accepted by the NYC Parks & Recreation Department,
that places a 50-ton block of granite at the Bar and Grill Park at York and
Pearl Streets. I anticipate the installation to take place September 2007.
Both this event and the NYFA sponsored Strategic Placement of Stone are
designed to bring positive attention to DUMBO while fostering community
spirit and commitment among its neighbors, both the well-established and
newly arrived.
