A few weeks ago I promised to tell you more about the new art near work<\/a>. On Wednesday I finally had a chance to take some pictures. Here’s an art tour just for you!<\/p>\n

\"sculpture\"<\/div>\n

This is the first piece of sculpture I encounter on my walk through the plaza on the way to work. According to the sign, this is a collage of objects that represent the top results of a Google search for the word sculpture. Funky!<\/p>\n

\"inflatables\"<\/div>\n

I don’t know what the story is with these. They’re inflatable, and I could swear that one of the middle platforms had a cow on it a few weeks ago. Maybe it popped.<\/p>\n

\"trees\"<\/div>\n

This is very cool: a photo of rushing water on a board strapped to most of the trees (the same photo on every tree). I should go back and get a closeup. It’s a neat effect.<\/p>\n

\"cubesday\"<\/div>\n

These are the Louise Bourgeois-esque cubes — there are actually 3, but only 2 would fit in the photo. During the day you can’t tell that there’s anything in them because they are slightly reflective, as you can see.<\/p>\n

\"batchair\"<\/div>\n

Bat chair!<\/p>\n

\"cubesnight1\"<\/div>\n

Here’s what one of the cubes looks like at night — internal lights illuminate everything within, which includes shoes, plants, bottles of cold medicine, and liquor. Good times in a box!<\/p>\n

\"cubesnight2\"<\/div>\n

Yay for art! If I remember correctly these pieces will all be up through the spring, so come on out to Downtown Brooklyn if you’d like to take a peek.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
