The Cathedral of St. John the Divine (Map New York disappear to differing amounts of fanfare and 18) has a very medieval vibe and is the world’s largest make room for whatever it is we’ll be romanticizing in the unfinished cathedral—a much cooler destination than the future. Ain’t that the circle of life? The landmarks discussed eternally crowded St. Patrick’s Cathedral (Map 12). are highly idiosyncratic choices, and this list is by no means complete or even logical, but we’ve included an array of places, from world famous to little known, all worth visiting.

I invited artists of all genders and generations to present their most innovative 2 and 3-dimensional sculptures for consideration for DEFINING FORM. After reviewing more than 600 artworks, I selected sculptures by over 50 artists that reflect new tendencies in the art form. DEFINING FORM artists defy stereotypes with inventive works that tackle contemporary culture. Traditionally highly male dominated, I was inspired by the new wave of female sculptors making their mark with works engaging feminist narratives. The artworks in DEFINING FORM explode with new ideas, vibrant colors, and display a thoroughly modern sensibility through fearless explorations of the artists and unique usage of innovative materials ranging from fabric, plastic, and foam to re-purposed and found objects including chewing gum, trash and dirt.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contacts Lucy O’Brien [email protected] | 646.590.9267 Stephanie Markovic [email protected] | 347.628.4688 MEDIA ALERT Noguchi Museum Presents Two Site-Specific Sculptures by Miya Ando what The Noguchi Museum presents two sculptures by artist Miya Ando created especially for installation in the Museum’s indoor-outdoor gallery. The works, suspended plate-glass sculptures internally etched with images of clouds, share Isamu Noguchi’s interest in sculpting ephemeral materi- als, and in using them to shape space. when April 25–August 12, 2018 Wednesday–Friday 10 am–5 pm Saturday and Sunday 11 am–6 pm where The Noguchi Museum 9-01 33rd Road (at Vernon Boulevard) Long Island City, NY sculptures Raised in a Buddhist temple by the sea in Okayama, Japan, and on 25-acres of redwood forest in coastal Northern California, Ando has always been drawn to the immaterial quality of fog and clouds. She began creating images of clouds in glass cubes and slabs in 2011. Pushing the limits of commercial laser etching technology from the outset, she started small. By collaborating with a highly specialized factory, she has been able to gradually enlarge them. The two examples for the Museum, the first she has decided to hang— Haku-Un (White Cloud) 4.8.1, the largest to date, and Haku-Un (White Cloud) 3.3.1— take the work in a new, more environmental direction. The pairing of her clouds with Noguchi’s large basalt sculptures was inspired by a Japanese Zengo (or Zen phrase): “Blue mountain does not move.

A past Broadway Billboard at Socrates Sculpture Park. Occasionally people have asked, and I myself have pondered: how does Socrates relate to our struggles and daily lives? Our staff, artists, volunteers, partners and board of trustees work very hard to activate this small part of the city, but what “real” impact does it have? An answer, I think, comes from a deeper understanding of what our fundamental necessities are. There is generally an accepted hierarchy of human needs that starts with survival concerns like food and shelter. This continues with another level of imperatives such as safety and health, and then a bit further with notions of freedom, esteem, and self-determination. Art in this comparative context can seem to be far down the priority list of what we consider essential. But before there were religions, governments, forms of commerce, or even written languages as we now know them, there was, and is, a deep-seated need for humans to create and surround ourselves with art (e.g., drawings and sculpture made 35,000 years ago.) Art is not, as I have heard described sometimes, an “amenity,” something secondary to a primary need. Safety, freedom, health, and education, along with a host of other needs, are critically essential, but art can be and often is on par with these.
