Socrates Sculpture Park, Queens
Please note: This is a past exhibit that is no longer installed in the park.
Artists featured here explore the landscape as a canvas and bring elements from the street into a conversation with an urban park. Found objects, colored sand, crocheted plastic bags and painted greenery are among the elements used to explore this relationship. For the artists, the city becomes a catalogue and provides an endless supply of images and materials.
This exhibition was made possible through generous support by the El Museo de Barrio and the Socrates Sculpture Park.
