Letter from the Director and Chief Curator Long after an exhibition has been de-installed, I often see its ghost as I pass by the space it once filled. Our projects come and go, yet accumulate in the memory. They add to our understanding of the city, infusing our perceptions with history and insight. When a newly commissioned work takes its place, I can’t wait to see what this artist will reveal about the site, their work, and our experience of it. Many of the past year’s installations have lodged in my memory with particular resonance. Perhaps that’s because so many of them demanded our attention for more than a distracted moment. At Metrotech Center, Sam Falls invited us to wander into his brilliantly colored maze, sit on his thermo-chromatic bench, and sound the different notes of his giant chimes. John Gerrard stopped us in our tracks with the cinematic grandeur of his mesmerizing digital simulation, Solar Reserve at Lincoln Center. Tatiana Trouvé allowed our imaginations to walk through time and space with her brilliant translation of Central Park’s pathways into a form at once sculptural and literary. Within the towering space of Rockefeller Plaza, Thomas Houseago set five giant masks on a base to create an imposing, temple-like structure that also revealed an intimate, interior space. Jeppe Hein’s richly playful imagination took us on a dazzling journey of perceptions, reflections, and interactions from one end of Brooklyn Bridge Park to the other. None of this would have been possible without the tremendous support of our donors and partners. At this year’s spring benefit we raised 1.1 million dollars, making it our most successful event ever. Special thanks go to Olaf Breuning, David Colman, FriendsWithYou, Martin Kersels, Raphael Lozano-Hemmer, and Ugo Rondinone for the terrific artists’ projects that made the night so memorable. Image Objects, our newly opened group exhibition at City Hall Park, includes all new commissions by artists associated with the “post-internet generation.” I hope you’ll see it soon. Thank you so much for your feedback, engagement, participation, and generous support. I look forward to seeing you out and about in New York City! Cheers,
Projects

Sam Falls Light Over Time MetroTech Commons Between Jay Street and Flatbush Avenue at Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn July 30, 2014 – May 29, 2015
Featuring five newly commissioned works for MetroTech Commons, Light Over Time encouraged visitors to explore the effects of the natural environment, light, and time on Falls’ brightly colored forms. Several of the pieces on view—wind chimes, a bench, and a maze constructed of powder-coated aluminum panels— were familiar to any park visitor; however, Falls transformed the function and form of these conventional objects, covering his bench in heatsensitive tiles that change color with the visitor’s touch and fabricating his wind chimes at human scale. His experiential works invited visitors to see the sculptures both as works of art and usable objects, inspiring a sense of curiosity, discovery, and exploration. Light Over Time was Falls’ first major commission in New York as well as his first outdoor exhibition in the city.
4 Sam Falls: Light Over Time at MetroTech Commons is part of an ongoing program organized by Public Art Fund, and sponsored by MetroTech Commons Associates and MetroTech companies including Forest City Ratner Companies, JPMorganChase, National Grid, WellChoice, and Polytechnic Institute of New York University. Special thanks to Forest City Ratner Companies and First New York Partners.

John Gerrard Solar Reserve Lincoln Center October 3 – December 1, 2014
John Gerrard’s Solar Reserve (Tonopah, Nevada) 2014 recreated a Nevada solar thermal power plant and the surrounding desert landscape on a 28 by 24 foot frameless LED wall in Lincoln Center’s Josie Robertson Plaza. At the center of this virtual world was a tower surrounded by 10,000 mirrors that adjusted their positions according to the location of the sun and reflected light upon the tower to generate electricity. The digital simulation changed in real time throughout the day, so no specific view was the same at any point during the exhibition. Curated by Nicholas Baume

Sui Jianguo Blind Portraits Doris C. Freedman Plaza Central Park, 60th Street and Fifth Avenue, Manhattan October 28, 2014 – February 20, 2015
Playing with notions of chance, intuition, and subjective expression—important themes in both traditional Chinese and modern Western art—these four towering tactile bronze portraits were on view for the first time in the U.S. Initially modeled in miniature while the artist was blindfolded, then scaled up to seventeen feet tall and cast in bronze, each portrait took on the subtle characteristics of human faces, depending on a viewer’s perspective and position in the plaza. It was also possible to see such details as the magnified marks of the artist’s fingers from the original clay surface.
This exhibition is generously supported by Mickey Cartin, Pace Gallery, Andrew & Linda R. Safran, The Rosenkranz Foundation, and an anonymous donor.

Tatiana Trouvé Desire Lines Doris C. Freedman Plaza Central Park, 60th Street and Fifth Avenue, Manhattan March 3 – August 30, 2015
For her first public commission in the United States, Tatiana Trouvé created a work that responds to Central Park. Drawing on existing maps, Trouvé isolated all of the marked pathways in the park, identifying 212, and estimated their distances. Translating her research into threedimensional form, she created three large-scale storage racks that house these spools. Each spool is wound with rope equivalent in length to a corresponding pathway and labeled to identify its location in the park. Reflecting on the broader cultural significance of walking, she also identified each length of rope with the title of a significant march or walk from history, politics, music, literature, or art. With its archive of spools in colored rope, the work becomes a kind of index to Central Park as well as a cultural atlas of walking.

Tatiana Trouvé Desire Lines As part of Trouvé’s process, she identified 212 paths through Central Park, hand stitching each onto a vertical, raw canvas map of Central Park. Each path was then measured and a length of colored rope cut to match it. The combined length of the ropes featured in Desire Lines is approximately equal to the total length of the paths in the park. Each spool of rope features a title that Trouvé has assigned it: a “p”, or path, number; a geographical title, which is a literal description of the route it measures; and a cultural title like the name of a song or political march. Following is an abridged list of titles for these paths with a further explanation of the cultural titles in brackets.

Thomas Houseago Masks (Pentagon) Rockefeller Center Plaza, Between Fifth and Sixth Avenues and 49th and 50th Streets, Manhattan April 28 – June 24, 2015
Created specifically for Rockefeller Plaza, Thomas Houseago’s new commission Masks (Pentagon) featured five large sculptural masks forming a pentagonal space that visitors could enter. Each mask reflected a different approach to the stylized representation of the human face, from clearly recognizable to highly abstract. As each colossal face looked out toward the surrounding cityscape, the spaces between them became “doorways” that offered access to an interior “room” and the eyes of each face “windows” that framed views of Midtown Manhattan’s skyscrapers. The back of each face revealed the artist’s method of construction – a grid-like armature of rebar inlaid with hemp and plaster. Curated by Nicholas Baume The exhibition is organized by Public Art Fund and Tishman Speyer. Masks (Pentagon) is courtesy of the artist and Gagosian Gallery.

Jeppe Hein Please Touch the Art Brooklyn Bridge Park May 17, 2015 – April 17, 2016
In the most comprehensive public exhibition of his work ever presented in the U.S., Berlinbased artist Jeppe Hein brings 18 whimsical and interactive sculptures to Brooklyn Bridge Park in Please Touch the Art. From a series of 16 new orange-red benches that twist, peak, and turn, to a new mirrored labyrinth of radiating arcs that reflects the surrounding landscape and a sculpture-fountain that creates systematically appearing and disappearing “rooms” of water, these artworks generate spontaneous moments of expression and social connection.

Image Objects City Hall Park Bordered by Broadway, Chambers Street, Centre Street, and Park Row, Manhattan June 30 – November 20, 2015
A thematic group exhibition at City Hall Park, Image Objects explores the relationship between contemporary sculptural practice and the digital landscape. The show features new work by a diverse international group of seven artists: Alice Channer, Lothar Hempel, Jon Rafman, Amanda Ross-Ho, Timur Si-Qin, Hank Willis Thomas, and Artie Vierkant. Installed throughout the park, these works explore the nature of images as both the origin and afterlife of sculpture, reflecting the ways in which rapidly changing visual culture and imaging technology influence how we understand and perceive the world around us.

Public Art Fund Talks
Fall 2014 Jeff Koons, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Sam Falls Spring 2015 Martin Creed, Tatiana Trouvé, Thomas Houseago
2015 marked the 16th year of Public Art Funds Talks at the New School in partnership with the Vera List Center for Art and Politics. With each of the six talks, our growing audience of more than 1,700 people engaged with some of the most dynamic artists working in the public realm, several of whom also presented exhibitions with Public Art Fund this year.
Danh Vo: We The People Programs Xiu Xiu: Kling Klang Open Air Salon: Lauren Berlant at City Hall Park Open Air Salon: Dana Lockett at Brooklyn Bridge Park
Unique among the artist lecture series presented in New York, Public Art Fund Talks are committed to giving artists an opportunity to engage audiences directly, whether in a traditional slide-lecture format or as a lecture-performance. This year we gave artists as much freedom as possible, asking them to share their thoughts on working in the public realm. The results were as dynamic and diverse as the artists themselves. To coincide with the presentation of Split-Rocker at Rockefeller Center, and his major retrospective exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, Jeff Koons launched our fall season with a sold-out, standing-room-only talk on his work. In October, Mexico City-based Abraham Cruzvillegas, whose work engages with public space and urban development, spoke passionately about current social and political events, sharing the connections between his recent public works and their engagements with the physical environment. Sam Falls, whose exhibition Light Over Time was on view at MetroTech Commons this year, closed the fall season with a discussion of the relationship between his work and the natural elements, tracing his interest in working outdoors, both in the making and installation of his work. With his surprising talk, Martin Creed attracted a huge crowd to the spring season launch. Martin sang and a dancer danced, as he shared stories of several works from the last two decades, memorably remarking, “Working is like trying to direct steam that comes out of you. The studio fills with steam, and then you feel like, I’ve gotta collect the bloody steam.” Paris-based Tatiana Trouvé presented her first artist talk in New York on the opening day of her exhibition, Desire Lines, presented at Doris Freedman Plaza. Trouvé led the audience through a poetic history of walking that inspired the installation, from early conceptual walking works in Central Park to the political marches of the Civil Rights movement. In April, Thomas Houseago closed the spring season with a discussion of Masks (Pentagon), on view at Rockefeller Center this spring. He shared the journey of creating the work—from his inspirations to his midnight studio work—as well as the connections between his sculptural practice and his shifting approaches to the unique architecture at Rockefeller Center. Public Art Fund Talks at The New School are organized by the Public Art Fund in collaboration with the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School. This program is made possible in part by Con Edison and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
In the fall of 2014, as part of Danh Vo’s exhibition We The People at Brooklyn Bridge Park and City Hall Park, Public Art Fund presented several onsite public programs. Inspired by the artist’s influences and his research process, the series included a musical performance utilizing the sculptures, a seminar at City Hall, and an outdoor lecture at Brooklyn Bridge Park. Beginning with a performance orchestrated by Vo’s long time collaborator and friend Jamie Stewart, leader of the art rock/doom drone band Xiu Xiu, Kling Klang gathered fellow musicians, artists, and members of the public, who attached some 1,000 pink vibrating eggs to the mammoth copper surface of We The People, creating a distinctive and echoing sound that resonated throughout Brooklyn Bridge Park. The second event, an intimate seminar in the historic Governor’s Room at City Hall, brought together Danh Vo and Lauren Berlant—a leading figure in feminist and queer studies, and the George M. Pullman Professor of English at the University of Chicago—in a discussion about the nature and definition of citizenship today. At the site of We The People in Brooklyn Bridge Park, National Park Service architect Dana Lockett shared his experiences in the preservation and documentation of Gustav Eiffel’s design for the interior structure of the Statue of Liberty, key information in Vo’s creation of his replica. Together these programs illuminated the constellations of subjects, people, and places that Danh Vo explored in the making of this project.
