"EAF09: 2009 Emerging Artist Fellowship" Exhibition
Socrates Sculpture Park
This event has ended.
Each year, EAF artists are awarded a grant and a residency in the Park's outdoor studio and are also provided with technical support and access to tools, materials and equipment to facilitate the production of new sculptures and installations for exhibition in the Park. The artists develop their projects throughout the summer in the open studio and on site in the landscape, offering visitors the opportunity to experience both the creation and presentation of their works. Representing a broad range of materials, working methods and subject matter, the diverse sculptural works in this exhibition are presented against the Park's spectacular waterfront view of the Manhattan skyline.
OPENING DAY PERFORMANCES:
Set within Andréa Stanislav's installation, titled "Ghost Siege", dancer/choreographer Leah Schrager will dance to music composed by Kenny Aronoff, preminent drummer and percussionist. Performances will take place at 3pm, 4pm and 5pm (Approximate running time: 10min)
Riot City Souvenir Stand, a reference to souvenir stands near major tourist attractions, is a presentation and sale of limited edition reproductions of notable New York City buildings by Lan Tuazon. Onlookers and consumers alike will get a tour of her sculpture Riot City and learn about its urban planning features. This performance will continue throughout the opening reception, from 2-6pm.
