Ai Weiwei conceived this multi-site, multi-media exhibition for public spaces, monuments, buildings, transportation sites, and advertising platforms throughout New York City. Collectively, these elements comprise a passionate response to the global migration crisis and a reflection on the profound social and political impulse to divide people from each other.

The Arsenal

This blog is just so I remember my NY discoveries.

Today with Sandy went to see the WREATHs exhibit at the Arsenal, though I think that the building was more interesting than the exhibit.
The Arsenal was built between 1847 and 1951 and was originally, as the name indicates, a depository for arms and munitions. This did not last long as between 1853 and 1856 the state seized the land under it for a public park. And there you have it, this building predates the park.

Inside there are some beautiful murals.

and behind it is the Central Park Zoo.




We then walked to the SE corner of CP to see one of the many public art pieces in NY city, this one by Monika Sosnowska. 

And last but not least lunch at the Food Court under the Plaza Hotel. Totally cool
