SUMMARY:Scarecrow: Largest Installation in Socrates’ History
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: http://socratessculpturepark.org/\nScarecrow is a new site-specific installation by artist Žilvinas Kempinas and the largest installation in Socrates’ 28-year history. Minimal and magical\, the sculpture is a 250-foot-long\, thirteen-foot-high kinetic pathway composed of 200 stainless steel\, mirrored poles connecting energetic slopes of silver Mylar ribbon overhead. With two simple elements – poles and tape –Scarecrow activates the invisible forces of nature. \nScarecrow reflects its surrounding environment and thus continuously changes throughout the exhibition. The perpetual motion of the ribbon\, as it responds to the wind of its environment\, echoes the natural flowing of the nearby East River\, while the mirrored material reflects momentary shifts of light and sky like a shimmering horizon along the waterfront. \nBlanketing a large portion of the 4.7 acre park\, Scarecrow is Kempinas’ first major outdoor installation in the United States. Kempinas is internationally acclaimed for his kinetic installations and controlled\, minimalist works; notably\, the artist represented Lithuania at the 2009 Venice Biennale with a site-specific installation entitled Tube\, and more recently Double Oat the Museum of Modern Art\, New York (2010)\, and Slow Motion at Museum Tinguely\, Switzerland (2013). Kempinas recently created his first outdoor sculpture for the Echigo Tsumari Art Field In Japan (2012)\, which was subsequently shown as part of his solo exhibition at Museum Tinguely. That work\, made from Japanese snow-measuring posts and bird-repellant ribbons\, was titled Kakashi – or “Scarecrow” in Japanese. At Socrates Sculpture Park\, the artist’s latest Scarecrow expands on Kakashi in scale\, shape\, and setting. \nUnlike his large-scale installations in museums\, galleries\, and biennials\, where the artist carefully calculates and manipulates artificial elements to create a desired effect\, Kempinas’s outdoor sculptures are experimental and adapt to fluctuating weather conditions. While this fluidity creates endless possibilities for effect\, the artist maintains a meticulousness in his process\, establishing a series of set conditions upon which nature can play. From a distanceScarecrow appears as a monumental single sculpture that is at once impressively precise and brutally horizontal. As you move closer to the installation\, however\, Scarecrow becomes enlivened with motion and sound as it captures the wind and pulls the surrounding landscape into itself. \nScarecrow is made possible\, in part\, by generous gifts from the Lewben Art Foundation and Martin Z. Margulies. The 2014 Exhibition Program at Socrates Sculpture Park is made possible by major support from the following: Bloomberg Philanthropies\, Charina Endowment Fund\, Cowles Charitable Trust\, Mark di Suvero\, the Sidney E. Frank Foundation\, the Maxine and Stuart Frankel Foundation\, Agnes Gund\, Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts\, Lambent Foundation\, Ivana Mestrovic\, Plant Specialists\, Shelley and Donald Rubin\, and the Thomas W. Smith Foundation. 2014 Exhibitions are also supported\, in part\, by public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts\, a state agency\, and by public funds from the City of New York Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council. \nThe exhibition continues until August 3rd.

SUMMARY:In A World of Their Own: Coney Island Photo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Photo credit: Aaron Rose\nWhen Aaron Rose began photographing Coney Island in 1961\, he bypassed the bluster of the theme parks and sideshows for the more intimate interactions of beach dwellers. Wielding his camera surreptitiously\, observing as if from a neighboring blanket\, Rose documented a “sun-baked melting pot” of beachgoers of all ages\, ethnicities\, and walks of life\, each one utterly unselfconscious\, absorbed in a world of his or her own. \nOne of the earliest art photographers to use C-print paper and chromogenic processing\, Rose made images with rosy tans and cool whites that were inspired by the summer skin tones he saw around him. The 70 images on display in this exhibition capture a palpable sense of the manners and mores of 1960s New Yorkers at their most unguarded; as photography critic Vince Aletti noted\, “the work’s easy rapport and its casual erotic charge are thrilling and touchingly sweet.” Aaron Rose’s Coney Island is “a place where privacy is a state of mind.” \nAdmission to the Museum of the City of New York includes all exhibitions currently on view. The Museum is open daily from 10 am to 6 pm. The exhibition continues until Aug 3rd.
