Landmark at Socrates Sculpture Park

10:00

20:00

<p>Marking Socrates Sculpture Park&rsquo;s 30th anniversary this year, the institution presents <em>Landmark</em>, a series of artist commissions and projects that transforms the land both physically and symbolically. Once an industrial landfill and illegal dumping ground, Socrates has transformed itself into New York City&rsquo;s preeminent sculpture park and social space for public art, community engagement and urban discovery. <em>Landmark</em> directly addresses the idea of place as intimately tied to social and ecological structures, to maintenance and stewardship, and to evolution over time.</p><p><em>Landmark</em> features eight different artist projects including a newly commissioned major earthwork by Meg Webster. Additional artists in the exhibition include Abigail DeVille, Brendan Fernandes, Cary Leibowitz, Jessica Segall, Casey Tang, the curatorial collective ARTPORT_making waves, and a&nbsp;Broadway Billboard&nbsp;by Hank Willis Thomas. Since its inception in 1986, Socrates and the surrounding area of Queens, New York has rapidly changed. Whether by engaging directly with the land or commenting on the neighborhood&rsquo;s cultural and economic shifts, each artwork in <em>Landmark&nbsp;</em>reflects historic transformations in the making.</p>

The Randall&rsquo;s Island Park Alliance, The Bronx Museum of the Arts, and Made Event are pleased to present FLOW, the annual summer art exhibit along the shoreline at Randall&rsquo;s Island Park in New York City. FLOW is aimed at fostering appreciation of the shoreline through artistic expression, while calling visitors to interact with and care for the Park&rsquo;s island environment. Each year, FLOW features five site specific projects by participants in the Bronx Museum&rsquo;s Artists in the Marketplace (AIM) program for emerging artists.<br /><p> Randall&rsquo;s Island Park is a unique and remarkable waterfront resource, located in the East River with views of the Queens, Bronx and Manhattan shorelines. New waterfront pathways run along the 4.5-mile shoreline, which includes almost 9 acres of restored salt marsh and freshwater wetlands. The Park also offers a track &amp; field stadium, a golf center, a 20-court tennis center and dozens of new playing fields, as well as the Harlem River Event Site, home of Made Event&rsquo;s Electric Zoo, a three-day Labor Day weekend concert event at Randall&rsquo;s Island which draws local and international DJ artists and audience.</p><p> FLOW.13 &ndash; this year&#39;s third annual exhibition &ndash; will be open to the public every day from June-November, and will feature five new site-specific installations, all reflecting and encouraging interaction with the Park&rsquo;s history and environment. The five installations are located along the southern shoreline of Randall&#39;s Island Park.</p><p> FLOW is made possible through support from Made Event, proud producers of The Electric Zoo Festival, NYC&rsquo;s largest electronic dance music festival, held annually at Randall&rsquo;s Island Park.</p><p> The FLOW exhibitions express the confluence of art, music and environment at Randall&rsquo;s Island Park, in the midst of one of the world&rsquo;s greatest cities.</p>
