Utilized throughout the park, this customized caution tape, provokes questions about borders, migration, and movement in public space. “Until we fearless,” it reads, the syntax suggesting the voice of a non-native English speaker. The phrase alternates with its translation into a font designed for the artist based on Morse code.

Marking Socrates Sculpture Park’s 30th anniversary this year, the institution presents LANDMARK, 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’s preeminent sculpture park and social space for public art, community engagement and urban discovery. LANDMARK directly addresses the idea of place as intimately tied to social and ecological structures, to maintenance and stewardship, and to evolution over time.
