Creative Time: The Book will be published on May 1st!
Creative Time public art projects have been seen in spaces both lofty and modest. Light projections have appeared on the Beaux-Arts entrance to the New York Public Library and from Ground Zero in the now famous Tribute in Light Memorial to 9/11. Signage has popped up on Times Square’s Astrovision screen and along the boardwalks of Coney Island. Music has blasted in Central Park as well as under tunnels in DUMBO, Brooklyn.
Join us in celebration on Saturday, May 5, from 4-7pm at two (this is big) great NYC bookstores Printed Matter and 192 Books. Come enjoy the cocktails courtesy of Christiania Vodka.
In keeping with Creative Time’s innovative spirit, the book itself is the result of a public art installation. Each cover is unique: a tip-on displays the colors, sound, and weather in New York recorded over a two-week period.
The Sunday, April 29th edition of the NY TIMES included an article about a typically clever and exciting Creative Time project:
“To commemorate its 33rd year of helping realize large and sometimes unwieldy projects, the nonprofit organization has chosen 32 sites around the city — with a 33rd to be nominated later by the public — where famous, infamous and sometimes almost secret yet significant art has been made.”
