This 36-foot chain necklace by Mexican artist #AnaPellicer was made to scale for the Statue of Liberty in honor of the monument's centennial in 1981. In the project’s brochure, the artist states: “At a time of grave political and economic crisis along the Southern border of North America and within Mexico, the Statue—wearing the cultural totems of aboriginal peoples—ceases to be only the idealization of individual liberty, and becomes the liberty of all the unique peoples of the world.” Photo by @matthewseptimus, via @momaps1.

A public architectural installation by #AndyGoldsworthy, captured by our friend @juliasuzanne 😊. Check out the hashtag to see more of his sculptures and land art.
#AdamMagyar‘s photos are full of motion. To create this piece, ‘New York I’, he placed his camera high in the city skyline and captured New Yorkers during their daily commute. Then he assembled them, one by one, into a massive grid.
The figures in Alex Gardner’s (@artposer) paintings are faceless and their clothing is devoid of cultural references. Instead, the story is in the body language, and details in the hands, feet and joints. He draws some inspiration from Late Renaissance paintings, but as an Afro-Japanese individual, he instead chooses a dark, almost ambiguous skin tone for his figures. The result is a piece more universally accepted and understood by viewers. .

“Feedback Loops” by @mteilhard — #artoffaith
2 years ago @silversteinproperties invited street artists to emblazon an empty floor in one of its office buildings at the @wtc site. Now, in a partnership with the @panynj, the developer has given artists a nearby public place to display their talents. Their canvas: a collection of corrugated metal sheds. (The sheds house mechanical equipment that will one day service 2 World Trade Center.) Selected artists each received $1,000 for paint and a $2,000 honorarium. 6 murals are completed or nearly done; 2 more are expected. All the works will be on display for at least a year. @jeenahmoon photographed pedestrians walking past murals by @chinonmaria and @sebastian.mitre (at the top) and @brolga (below). Working at the site where the South Tower stood until September 11 carries an emotional gravity, and the artists grapple with the enormity of the loss that occurred where they are painting. But many spoke of a determination to balance that loss with art that lifts the spirit. — Reposted from @nytimes. Visit the link in their profile to read more.
