The above photo features public art in New York's City Hall Park. Both sculptures are by Aaron Curry ("Big Pink, 2010" and "Yellow Bird Boy, 2010")
Public art allows for artwork to be critqued from a viewpoint outside that of the artworld. I like this idea. It also creates an ambiance of social critique, it gets people thinking outside the box, why is it there? what is it doing? How do I feel?
Instalations such as this allow for a new kind of mental stimulation in a familiar place.
