Sit on these (sculptures)

Have a seat – or nine.

Just after reopening the High Bridge, the Parks Department has announced that it will host a public art exhibition along the esplanade leading to the bridge.

The exhibit is comprised of contemporary sculpture by nine artists from the group 14 Sculptors.

OH SIT! 14 Sculptors Consider the Chair will be on view in Highbridge Park in northern Manhattan through Nov. 8th.

The artists sought to respond imaginatively to the notion of sitting or using a chair.

OH SIT! is framed as a command and looks to ask the viewer to really consider the concept “chair” both objectively and subjectively.

As the release explains, “In a frantic world, finding a chair can be almost impossible and settling comfortably into one can be an enormous satisfaction.”

14 Sculptors is a group of professional artists who seek to create a forum for experimental sculpture and principally installation artworks.  The non-profit tax exempt organization has been functioning under the auspices of the New York Foundation for the Arts for the past 42 years.

This exhibition is sponsored by the New York Foundation for the Arts and the Rockway Artist Alliance.
