OVERVIEW:

One of the inescapable realities of urban life, particularly any public arts program, is decay. In New York City there are pedestals devoid of the public sculpture for which they were designed. These sculptures are missing for a variety of reasons the work could be stolen, vandalized, be in storage, on loan, or in the process of being repaired.

PROPOSAL:

To rehabilitate abandoned pedestals by creating new sculpture to replace the missing works in ways that highlight the historical and cultural changes that have taken place.
