Eleven Heavy Things

May 29 — October 03, 2010
Center Lawn, Union Square Park, New York

Polymath artist, filmmaker and writer, Miranda July, brings Eleven Heavy Things, a series of interactive sculptures, to Union Square Park. The pieces invite viewers to mount inscribed pedestals, stand under elaborate headdresses and insert their limbs into holes. A work that begins as a sculpture metamorphoses into countless performances, only complete when viewers photograph their interactions and share them in blogs and emails. At this point, the audience changes and the participants become the subject of the work. Eleven Heavy Things is presented by Deitch Projects as its final public project. The work is exhibited in cooperation with the Union Square Partnership and NYC Parks and Recreation.

May Day Mural

May 01 — December 31, 2010
Houston Street and Bowery

Goldman Properties and Deitch Projects are pleased to present a mural by Shepard Fairey to coincide with his exhibition May Day. This project continues the collaboration on this site between Goldman Properties and Deitch Projects, who have previously presented a recreation of Keith Haring’s 1982 mural, and a mural by the Brazilian artists Os Gemeos.

Shepard Fairey’s May Day mural incorporates several of the images and themes that can be found in his most recent fine art and street art work. In this public piece, Fairey tackles an array of subjects including: the reclamation of the U.S. flag as a multi-dimensional symbol, global warming, health care, free speech, activism, and the dysfunction of the two-party system in Washington.
