AREA4 and Suchi Reddy, Prospect Park 150: The Connective Project

July 7, 2017 to July 17, 2017
Prospect Park, Brooklyn

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

Description:

Prospect Park Alliance, AREA4 and Suchi Reddy of Reddymade Architecture & Design debut a large-scale public art installation in Prospect Park on the occasion of the Park’s 150th Anniversary. The Connective Project transforms Prospect Park’s Rose Garden—a little-known landscape in the Park’s northeast corner—into an immersive, engaging and ever-growing display. The Connective Project is composed of more than 7,000 individually designed pinwheels, printed with artwork, photographs, verse and prose submitted by the public. During the installation, the public will be invited to take part in making additional pinwheels to add to the display during select hours. Reddy chose pinwheels because they are universally loved objects of childhood memories, much like public parks, and evoke nature in their movement attuned to wind and natural forces.

This exhibition is presented by the Prospect Park Alliance.
