This event has ended.

Brooklyn-based, multi-disciplinary artist Julia Mandle, who led 30 students from the NYC Lab School wearing her signature "chalk shoes" in a performence of large-scale, public street drawing will exhibit the Chalk Shoes at Leo Kesting Gallery May 15th - 21. The Chalk Shoes will be available for purchase to raise funds for The Friends of Highline.

Last April 30 students created a drawing by scuffing the chalk shoes along the paths they will take to the High Line, New York's elevated park built on a former freight rail viaduct, set to open later this year. Mandle's performance, a commission by Friends of the High Line, highlighted the future public access points of the High Line, and drew connections between the neighborhood and the new park.

Shoes used in the performance, and a video documenting the project, will be on view. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Sunday, from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM. The exhibition will coincide with Meatpacking District Design Week.
