Description
<p>Located along the esplanade leading up to the recently opened High Bridge,&nbsp;<em>Oh Sit! 14 Sculptors Consider the Chair</em>&nbsp;is a group exhibition of nine artists&rsquo; public artworks. In a frantic world, finding a chair can be almost impossible and settling comfortably into one can be an enormous satisfaction. Sitting in the wrong seat can cause anxiety and an even pain. Exhibiting artists Dan Bergman, Allan Cyprys, Robert Dell, Gregoire Ferland, Esther Grillo, Christina Jorge, Siena Gillann Porta, Herb Rosenberg and Chuck von Schmidt respond imaginatively to the notion of sitting or using a chair.&nbsp;<em>Oh Sit!</em>&nbsp;is framed as an imperative, a command&mdash;a way of asking the viewer to look and really consider the concept &ldquo;chair&rdquo; both objectively and subjectively.</p><p>For more information visit <a href="http://www.nyc.gov/parks/art">www.nyc.gov/parks/art</a>.</p>

<p> Students from the Urban Assembly School for Wildlife Conservation present a photography exhibition entitled Changing Lenses at Poe Park Visitors Center. The exhibition marks the beginning of a new program that expands arts education for young scientists, and brings their work beyond the walls of the school into the community at large.</p><p> Throughout the Spring 2013 semester, nine students in grades 9 &ndash; 11 gathered for weekly after-school sessions with UASWC art instructor Jessica Sinclair and teaching artist Mustafa &Ouml;nder. Using SLR cameras, nine students were introduced to the fundamentals of photography. Emphasis was placed on the communicative properties of image-making: composition, storytelling, and conceptualization. Photographic outings were undertaken throughout the local community, to the Bronx Zoo, and to Bryant Park in Manhattan. The group also took a field trip to the International Center of Photography, where they received a guided tour by a museum educator.</p><p> The project is sponsored by Joy of Givings Something, Inc. (JGS), a not-for-profit organization that promotes the art of photography.</p>
