REPOST from AMNY:

9th Annual FIGMENT NYC on Governor's Island

Experience art in new ways this weekend as FIGMENT NYC takes over Governor's Island. 
Forget those "Please do not touch" signs that permeate museums and galleries - throw out your conceptions that art is only meant to be looked at and really interact with the exhibits.


achildgrows.com

Touch, smell, write on, talk to, dance and play with art, which takes the form of sculpture, street theater, costuming, dance, music, performance, inflatable and sound.

Ends 9/12 - Jeff Koon's "Split-Rocker" will be Flowering Over Rockefeller Center!



American artist Jeff Koon's sculpture "Split-Rocker" is currently being assembled at Rockefeller Center. 


The 37-foot-tall sculpture depicts a half toy pony, half toy horse and features more than 50,000 flower plants.  


It is being set up to coincide with the opening retrospective of the artist at the Whitney Museum of American Art on June 27th.

This seems like it might be the summer of Jeff Koons in New York. His retrospective open at the Whitney on June 27 and timed to that will be the appearance of “Split-Rocker,” his monumental, flowering, toylike sculpture. 


It is already beginning to take shape at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, on the spot where the Christmas tree is put up every year. Fourteen years ago, his 43-foot-tall “Puppy,” with 70,000 flowering plants, was in the same sop and was one of the most popular artworks ever shown there.

“Split Rocker” will weigh 150 tons and be over 37 feet high. It is composed of two halves: one based on a toy pony of one of Mr. Koons’s sons, the other on a toy dinosaur. 

It’ll be covered with live flowers; petunias, begonias, impatiens, geraniums and marigolds and more. Larry Gagosian, Koons’s New York Dealer, is paying for the installation, and said “Split-Rocker” is “very Duchampian,” adding, “It’s really a ready-made.” “Split-Rocker” will be at Rockefeller Center through Sept. 12. - worldofwonder.net

Have a sweet time,

REPOST from PureWow:
Culture is to NYC as sunshine is to SoCal. But our endless access to art means that we can never hit ’em all, and occasionally, we have to bypass an exhibit or two.

This is not a show to skip.

A Subtlety

” opens tomorrow in the abandoned Domino Sugar factory, and it’s your one and only opportunity to see inside the landmark before it’s demolished. It’s also your rare chance to look up at a five-story sphinx.

New York artist Kara Walker

, known for her envelope-pushing approach, was tapped to create a large-scale installation within the decrepit, molasses-covered walls. She decided to honor the history of laborers--from the cane fields to the factories to the kitchens. Hence, the 75-foot-long sculpture of an African woman covered in snow-white sugar.

Like any buzz-heavy show (read: the Rain Room

 and Infinity Room
), we’re sure the lines will be long and the Instagrams will be aplenty. So strap on some sneaks, take a good book and remember that this is the very reason you live in NYC.

Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through July 6; Domino Sugar Factory, S. First St. and Kent Ave., Brooklyn; creativetime.org
