Remember Summer
Installation in Central Park, 2021
Remember Summer is a series of installations in Central Perk created to complement the old masters colors of the park with streaks of red, orange, yellow and blue. Created by artist Mirena Rhee without the endorsement of the park.
A lot of people who come to see the installations immediately recollect the Gates.
I am not gonna pretend, I work in the tradition of Christo Javacheff but my work is quick, fast to deploy, without permission, cheaper to make and easy to handle by just one person. It lasts mostly a day and then its gone. That’s the spirit of the 21 century. The speed of light :)
Right now Central Park is the color of An old masters painting except for the Vermilion and the ultramarine blue and yellow which I guess goes into the birds
Whenever I work in New York City
People always stop by to talk offer support comments and the work often times ends up a collaboration people suggest things maybe I try them.
As you know people in New York often talk to strangers which is something that happens nowhere else in the world.
People understand, are curious, ask questions and often physically help.
Street culture has always been important for New York City also the culture of Central Park which is kind of a mix of the city and picnicin culture.
In New York I guess the apartments are too small, And Venues too expensive. So people take their creativity to the Street
