Full Steam Ahead
at Madison Square Park
New York, NY, September 25, 2018—April 28, 2019.
The installation breaks from the old model of public art projects. It's not a single massive sculpture but a suite of human-scaled elements that can be touched, and it's off-center from the park's central green, where most artists would choose to work.
“Shechet probes the idea of the public monument, toying with its traditional, patriarchal seriousness.”
