Description:
Polymath artist, filmmaker and writer Miranda July brings a series of interactive sculptures to Union Square Park's Center Lawn. Entitled Eleven Heavy Things, the pieces invite viewers to mount inscribed pedestals, stand under elaborate headdresses, and insert their limbs into holes. A work that begins as a sculpture metamorphoses into countless performances, only complete when viewers photograph their interactions and share them in blogs, emails, and other media. At this point, the audience changes and the participants become the subject of the work.
Eleven Heavy Things is presented by Deitch Projects as its final public project, and the work is exhibited in cooperation with the Union Square Partnership and NYC Parks and Recreation.
