A giant origami-inspired sculpture installation
is now situated on Broadway - adding a whimsical twist to the Garment District.
The installation, titled "Hacer: Transformations," features seven passive paper-like animals: two dark turquoise coyotes, two medium turquoise rabbits, a magenta elephant, a yellow dog, and a green bear cub. It is part of the Garment District Art on Plazas, a year-round public art program made possible through Arterventions, which is a part of New York City's Department of Transportation's Art Program.
California artist Hacer created the sculptures from powder-coated steel and the largest of the series, "Coyote, Stalking," is an impressive 14 feet long! This installation is Hacer's first large-scale solo show in New York.
“We are delighted to present Hacer: Transformations, in which the whimsical works are transforming Broadway for New Yorkers and visitors alike”
”Following more than a year of COVID-19 related restrictions, this outdoor show of Hacer’s works brings cheer and optimism to the heart of New York City.””
The sculptures are located on Broadway Boulevard in the Garment District between 36th and 39th Street. The installation is now available for viewing through November 23rd.
