Public Art by Creative Time
Creative Time’s, Drifting in Daylight: Art in Central Park is an exhibition of eight site-specific artworks throughout the north end of Central Park. We strolled through and visited a few, and were able to speak with some of the artists.
Ragnar Kjartansson ‘S.S. Hangover’ boat that sails in the Harlem Meer with a brass sextet from Metropolis Ensemble playing a composition by Kjartan Sveinsson.
Karyn Olivier ‘Here and Now/Glacier, Shar, Rock’ is a sculptural lenticular billboard adjacent to the Harlem Meer that invokes and blends contrasting topographic and anthropological histories of Central Park through shifting images of a glacier, a Seneca Village pottery shard, and rocks.
Alternate view, including the artist Karyn Olivier.
Spencer Finch ‘Sunset (Central Park)’ converts the heat of the sun into the cool of ice cream, distilling the colors of the Central Park sky into free cones offered from a custom solar-powered ice cream truck.
Alicia Framis’ participatory sculpture ‘Cartas al Cielo’ invites passersby to send missives to those with no earthly address via a sculptural globe that reflects the earth and sky.
