A fairy tale of trees, leaves, color, green and the amazing wisteria pergola in @centralparknyc Thanks for coming to see this colorful incident and thank you, #CentralPark for not tearing me down although I worked illegally and without permission, I did it for the betterment of mankind and for all of us in #NewYorkCity just because no one else will do it. An #art #installation of #GiantHands created over 3 days and every day was a different arrangement of hands - one day the hands looked like Roots, another day they looked like flags and of course I created it randomly just putting #hands up as they came out of the bag. everyday I will come at noon and put the hands up and then I will take them down in the evening at dusk, like hands Cinderella
The #GiantHands have developed pretty serious patina, they've become experienced objects on their own. An incredible 3-day weekend working in #centralpark of course not sanctioned by #centralpark🗽 it's all about sharing the most beautiful spaces in #nyc and just being with each other -which is basically the human experience.
For the summer Playfield I used a very simple method of hanging the hands I would just wedge the wooden dowels in between the pergola beams and occasionally I would just tie the wooden dowel with a simple thread to the beam Imagine that for complicated structure And of course I brought my own ladder to the affair, I will not have been able to hang the hands without a ladder The park people came and I was sitting by the ladder and I saw them turn around and they oh so there is the ladder, so they understood that I'm committed to the hands. They sat there they never spoke to me they simply radioed someone I guess in headquarters or something and they just left afterwards
