too many people don't appreciate the beauty an outdoor screen offers, especially when it wearing out or damaged

“Be kind from a distance...”  During a short walk to the mailbox, I was reminded of a funny “social distancing” picture.  The iconic “Abbey Road” photo was altered to show the Beatles crossing the street, while maintaining a safe distance from each other:)  The “Abbey Road” album contains a song that has become synonymous with hope: “Here Comes The Sun.”  However, the reflection of a tree in my picture, brings to mind another hopeful song: “Like a branch on a tree/I keep reaching to be free/Moving on, moving on/There’s a place in the sun/Where there’s hope for everyone...” (Stevie Wonder, “A Place In The Sun”)  (Photo taken on March 25, 2020)

Next week, we kick off our 40th anniversary with Commercial Break, drawing inspiration from the organization’s seminal exhibition series Messages to the Public, which ran on the 800-square-foot animated Spectacolor light board in Times Square from 1982-1990. Similarly disrupting the daily flow of advertising, but reflecting today’s visual saturation of digital screens, Commercial Break invites a generation of artists working in new media to create site-specific interventions across advertising platforms in New York City. These include a large billboard in Times Square near the site of the original Spectacolor board; Barclays Center’s “Oculus,” a one-of-a-kind 3,000 square foot, 360-degree LED marquee, which hangs above the main entrance to the arena in Prospect Heights; 19 digital screens at Westfield World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan; hundreds of LinkNYC’s Link kiosks in all five boroughs; and PublicArtFund.org, where the work will be embedded as a pop-up “ad”. 

Artists include:Cory Arcangel, Korakrit Arunanondchai, Brian Bress, Sue de Beer, Mary Reid Kelley and Patrick Kelley, Heather Phillipson, and Martine Syms on a billboard at Times Square; Meriem Bennani, Kate Cooper, Cécile B. Evans, GCC, Agnieszka Polska, Tabor Robak, and Jacolby Satterwhite at Barclays Center’s “Oculus;” Hayal Pozanti at Westfield World Trade Center; Lucas Blalock, Antoine Catala and Gabriel Kahan, Awol Erizku, Ed Fornieles, David Horvitz, Britta Thie, and Hannah Whitaker at LinkNYC kiosks in all five boroughs; and Casey Jane Ellison at PublicArtFund.org.

The last public payphone in NYC has been removed from Midtown

The payphone is headed to the Museum of the City of New York as part of a new exhibit about pre-digital life in NYC.

The end of an era...

The digital exhibition of my paintings is now over and I wanted to once again thank @linknycofficial and the #ArtOnLink program. It’s been quite thrilling to see my work displayed on the digital kiosks that have become part of everyday life in the city. #linknyc #linknycofficial #artonlink #digitalkiosk #digitalartshow #urbanlandscape #cityscape #newyorkcityscape #newyorkcityart #nycart #newyorkart #hyhkarts #w42st #communitybulletinboard #oilpainting #fredericlere (at Manhattan, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIdw-Ubn_k6/?igshid=1sef9dfp66tsu
