Socrates Sculpture Park's New Orleans project
New work is on display at the Socrates, which is generally just a fun place to spend a weekend day.
From the NYT:
“Social Dress New Orleans — 730 Days After,” an outdoor installation by Takashi Horisaki, a Japanese sculptor and performance artist based in New York, is on view in Socrates Sculpture Park in Long Island City, Queens, until the fall. Earlier this month in New Orleans, where he used to live, Mr. Horisaki applied layers of latex mixed with paint to create a textured 3-D print of a condemned Lower Ninth Ward house. The thin but strong rubber skin was transported to New York, where it was stretched over a frame that mimics the original structure.
