Yesterday a 28-by-16 foot sculpture was installed on the waterfront of Toll Brother’s Northside Pier project in Williamsburg. The sculpture was made in local artist Mark Gibian’s upstate studio, where it waited for weeks once finished before all the permits were in order to ship it via flatbed truck back here. Project partner RD Management paid for the sculpture.
Sculpture headed for Northside Piers in Williamsburg [The Real Deal]
I forgot that everything in the world must be designed to cater to the needs of those who choose to have childen…take down the non “kid-friendly” sculpture immediately!!!!
I don’t understand why they couldn’t put up a sculpture that’s kid-friendly. I purchased a unit there and will need to be extra careful about where my kids play. This could have been solved easily!
Looks good.
Art in Public (or “public” even) spaces is always a plus at first, but there should definitely be a timespan on its existance in one spot.
Change things up, keep them fresh. The same piece in the same area for decades gets depressing.
hello, what is wrong with you 12:41? god, do you have any taste? if something doesn’t look like it was built just like the brown building next to it, then it’s crap?
when i saw this, i actually said, “wow” out loud.
it is excellent.
please stay in whatever generic brownstone you live in and do not visit this sculpture.
live it for the residents of williamsburg who actually have eyes and unique aesthetics.
please!
yeah, lets never build something a kid could climb onto and fall off of! no more stuctures over 6 inches tall.
That’s why most modern “art” is crap.
Nice industrial looking sculpture…But I wonder what will happen when some kid climbs on it and potentially gets injured…Lawsuit waiting to happen?
why does it have “to be” anything.
Your interpretation of it is as good as anyone else’s. It’s called modern art.
Ok, I give up. What is that sculpture suppose to be?
