These playful bumper stickers emblazon the park’s Bobcat loader, undercutting the seriousness of this prototypical emblem of masculinity. In the inclusive, participatory, collaborative spirit of the park, visitors adorn the vehicle with stickers during the exhibition’s opening.
Catalogue
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.
