Public Art Opening: Dee Briggs in Foley Square

2016-05-19T00:00:00.000

17:30

20:00

<p>An artist reception for<em> Dee Briggs in Foley Square</em> will take place in the park on Thursday, May 19. The opening remarks will include Thomas Woltz, FASLA, Principal, Nelson Byrd Woltz; Jennifer Lantzas, Deputy Director of Public Art, NYC Parks; and the artist Dee Briggs.</p><p>Located in Thomas Paine Park, part of the larger Foley Square area in Manhattan&rsquo;s Civic Center, these three monumental public artworks deal directly with Briggs&rsquo; fascination with geometry and a form of symmetry called chirality. Chirality is defined as a three-dimensional object that has no internal plane of symmetry along the x, y or z-axis, which means that the object is different from its reflection.</p><p>Growing up in western Pennsylvania&rsquo;s 1970s industrial landscape had a profound impact on Briggs and inspired her deep affinity for industrial materials and processes. For this exhibition, she explored the possibilities and limitations of weathered steel.</p><p>This event is FREE and open to the public.</p><p>Photo Credit: Albert Vecerka/ESTO</p>

For this exhibition, artist Dee Briggs explored the possibilities and limitations of weathered steel.
