Luke Jerram, Play Me, I'm Yours
June 21, 2010 to July 5, 2010
,
Please note: This is a past exhibit that is no longer installed in the park.
Description:
Play Me, I’m Yours will bring live art to the center of commercial Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island with the installation of 60 upright pianos placed at strategic locations throughout the five boroughs. For the two-week duration of the project ( and in conjunction with Make Music New York), the pianos will feature formal and impromptu concerts by students, tourists, children, nannies, lawyers, doctors, merchants, and artists in an open festival of music involving all elements of New York’s culturally diverse population.
Play Me, I’m Yours implements Sing for Hope’s central vision of uniting artists and communities by making the arts accessible and visible within our urban centers. By making pianos available to all who pass by, Sing for Hope democratizes the arts and encourages exploration of music by all individuals.
Every piano in New York City’s Play Me, I’m Yours will be supervised by neighborhood associations and community organizations. Entrusting each piano to the supervision of local residents generates civic pride and utilizes art as a catalyst for positive change in urban settings.
This is a project by Sing for Hope.
