Jim Hodges, Craig's closet

June 9, 2023 to May 24, 2024
NYC AIDS Memorial Park at St. Vincent’s Triangle, Manhattan

Please note: This is a past exhibit that is no longer installed in the park.

Description:

Craig’s closet is a newly created artwork by Jim Hodges for the New York City AIDS Memorial's ongoing public art program. This sculpture was imagined explicitly for the New York City AIDS Memorial Park, which lies in the shadow of the former St. Vincent’s hospital and in proximity to many sites central to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. This replica of a domestic bedroom closet, in granite and painted bronze, invites viewers to forge personal connections between complex histories and individual and collective memories.

This exhibition is presented by the NYC AIDS Memorial.
